              Demonstration experiment to remotely monitor the rearing environment of a piggery

              Demonstration experiment to remotely monitor the rearing environment of a piggery

              NTT East is collaborating with the Kanagawa Prefecture Pig Farming Association (Ebina City) and the Kanagawa Prefecture Livestock Technology Center (Ebina City) to start a verification experiment to remotely monitor the rearing environment of pig barns using the IoT (Internet of Things). Sensors installed in the piggery (photo) will automatically collect temperature and humidity data. Network cameras will also be installed so that the environment in the piggery and the health of the pigs can be monitored on a computer at a remote location. The demonstration is scheduled to run until March 2020 in an environment-controlled piggery managed by the Kanagawa Prefecture Pig Farmers Association. In particular, the management of temperature and humidity, which affect the physical condition of pigs, requires a detailed response.

                Demonstration experiment using Osaka City University's fuel-cell vehicles to operate ships on hydrogen

                Shigeyuki Minami, a special-appointment professor at the Organization for Advanced Research and Development, Osaka City University, and his colleagues on April 1 unveiled a demonstration experiment of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered ship (photo) that can drive a fuel cell vehicle as a hydrogen power generation system. It was jointly developed with Current Dynamics (Sumiyoshi Ward, Osaka City). It will be equipped with Toyota Motor Corporation's "MIRAI" fuel cell vehicle and can carry up to 50 cubic meters of hydrogen. It has already obtained an operation license from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. It can travel for about 13 hours at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour, and about 93 hours at a speed of 4 kilometers per hour. Professor Minami said, "We would like to confirm that it is safe and can run for a long time, and use this as a trigger for the development of fuel cell ships.
