[0114] The data report subsystem includes a data storage unit, a data processing unit and a report generation unit.

[0115] The data storage unit is used to store various data collected during the operation of the system, including environmental temperature and humidity, feed input, pig health status, etc. The data processing unit analyzes and processes these data to extract valuable information.

[0116] The data processing unit can generate different types of data reports according to user needs, such as daily, weekly and monthly reports, etc. These reports can include statistical data on feed input, changing trends of environmental parameters, monitoring results of pig health status, etc.

[0117] The report generation unit is responsible for presenting the processed data in the form of charts, text, etc., and generating easy-to-understand reports. Users can select the required report type and time range through the system's user interface module, and export the report with one click. In addition, the data report export function module also supports multiple export formats, such as PDF, Excel, and CSV, and users can choose the appropriate format for export as needed. The exported reports can be used for internal analysis, management decisions, or to submit reports to regulatory authorities. The system also has automatic report generation and scheduled export functions. Users can preset the time and frequency of report generation. The system will automatically generate and export reports at the scheduled time, greatly improving the efficiency of data management.

[0118] Through the data report export function, users can fully understand the operation of the system and the effect of feed delivery, provide data support for optimizing feed delivery strategies, and ensure the efficient operation of the system and the accuracy of feed delivery. The introduction of this functional module not only improves the intelligence level of the system, but also provides users with convenient management tools, which is significantly practical and innovative.

[0119] The data report export function is designed to provide users with detailed and accurate feed delivery data analysis and records. This function is realized through the data report generation and export tool integrated in the user interface module. First, the system automatically collects and organizes data from various sensors and devices, including environmental temperature and humidity, feed silo remaining, feed delivery, pig health status and other parameters. Through the data processing module, these data will be further cleaned, filtered and analyzed to generate detailed data reports.

[0120] The report content includes but is not limited to feed delivery history, environmental parameter change trends, pig health status reports, etc. Users can use these reports to conduct comprehensive data analysis and decision support. In addition, the system also supports customized report functions. Users can customize the content and format of the report according to actual needs and generate personalized data reports.

[0121] In order to ensure the security and integrity of data, the system adopts a multi-level data encryption and backup mechanism to prevent data loss and leakage. Users can view and export data reports anytime and anywhere through a secure remote access method. Through the above technical means, the data report export function of the present invention provides users with a powerful data analysis and management tool, greatly improving the transparency and controllability of the feed delivery process, and has significant practicality and innovation.

[0122] After each feed delivery, the system automatically records relevant data, including actual feed consumption of each pig, delivery time, environmental parameters (such as temperature and humidity), and health indicators of the pigs (such as body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate). These data are collected in real time through sensors and stored in a central database.

[0123] In the process of generating data reports, the system first cleans and preprocesses the raw data to remove outliers and noise data. Then, the AFOA algorithm is used to model and analyze the data to identify problems and optimization space in the feed delivery process. For example, by analyzing the relationship between feed consumption and pig weight gain, the feed formula and delivery strategy can be optimized; by analyzing the impact of environmental parameters on the health status of pigs, the breeding environment can be adjusted to improve the health level of pigs. In order to further improve the intelligence level of the data report review function, the system also integrates a self-learning function. By continuously learning and accumulating historical data, the system can gradually optimize the data analysis model and improve the accuracy and practicality of the report. For example, the system can automatically identify the impact of seasonal changes on feed consumption and pig health, adjust the delivery strategy in advance, and avoid production fluctuations caused by environmental changes.

It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.

[0125] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
