Automation 自动化系统

I personally like to automate many activities in my BH, which will actually help to reduce the workforce in BH maintenance and management, consistency and stability will definately help in populating your BH as well. Nowadays many industries have implemented more automation due to labour cost is getting higher, I will advise all swiftlet farmers to think toward this direction as well, making use of our latest technology into swiftlet farming, and also continue develop more, which will be beneficial to swiftlet farming industry.

Automation = Low labour, low maintenance, minimum error, high efficiency, high accuracy, stability, consistency etc.

In fact we have been using automation for some applications in our BH, but some of us may not be aware of, such as Daily timer to switch ON/OFF Amp player, Humidity control with the auto controller devices, Temperature control with temp controller associated with fan exhaust or water cooling, Security alarming system, Timer for water rinsing and so on. Automation with IT-powered will be more powerful, like remote internet CCTV, alarming notification, remote sound monitoring (with remote voice transmitter in previous post), and so on.

There is a gadget in the market called ‘Auto Sound Changer’, I am the inventor of this gadget actually, but now a copycat has duplicated and selling in the market. That is expected and not to my surprise. I have actually phase out this thing long ago as there is a bug, but substituted with another technique with more powerful function also in much lower cost and the most important bug free. Forgive me for not posting the technical detail because there are too many copycats in the market taking advantage from other people’s efforts.

Many other things that we’ve never thought but we can actually turn into automation, eg. counter to count your bird visit of BH per day, predator detection & reaction, Auto floor cleaning and many more, perhaps auto nest counting and harvesting? I think all these can be done, but bear in mind always, all these equipments are the cost, it should meet our objective and actual need, also cost justification. If you have good idea but not sure how to convert into actual workable automation system, you can contact me for Teh Tarik bird talk.

我个人喜欢在我的燕屋使用自动化系统,因为这将有助于减少维持和管理燕屋的劳动力,且其稳定性一定会帮助你的燕屋成长。现在很多行业已经实施了更多的自动化,由于劳动力成本越来越高,我会建议燕农向这个方向驶进,从其他领域技术开发成燕屋技术,开发和开拓技术有利于日后引燕业的发展。

自动化=低劳动力,维护成本低,误差小,效率高,精度高,稳定性,一致性等等

事实上,我们一直在都有在我们的燕屋采用某些自动化系统,但我们有些人可能不察觉,比如每天定时开/关播放唱机,湿度控制与自动控制器设备,温度控制器配合冷水风扇和排气系统,安全报警系统,计时冲水洗涤系统等等。如果再配合IT自动化将更加强,例如远程监视互联网闭路电视,自动报警通知,远程声音监控(之前的文章远程声音监控器)等等。

在市面上有一个工具叫的'Auto Sound Changer'(自动换音器),其实我就是真正的发明者,但现在已被无良商家复制且在市场上销售。这是我预料之中,其实我早已经淘汰这东西因为有技术上的漏洞,而我已有其他更强技术产品来代替,不但成本更低得多的,最重要的是零漏洞。原谅我没有公布新技术细节,因为市场仿冒抄袭者太多,只会从其他人的努力成果取利。

许多人东西可能我们从没想过,其实是可以变成自动化,例如计数器计算每天燕子进入燕屋的数目,入侵者监视及反击,自动清洁地板等等,也许自动计算燕窝数目或自动割采燕窝也可能办到的?但始终记住,所有的这些设备都是开销,我们应该衡量它是否达到我们的目的和实际需要,以及符合成本效益。如果你有好想法,但不知道如何转换成实际可行的自动化系统,您可以联系我出来喝杯茶交流意见。

  1. Dear Philip,

    Automation is definitely advantageous but not many people are willing to invest their money into it. Also so sorry to hear that others have taken advantage of your invention.
