Transforming Poultry Farming with Automation: ZEUS Empowers a Million-Layer Egg Farm in Mianyang, Sichuan
Nestled in the green hills of Mianyang, Sichuan, a cutting-edge egg production facility is quietly revolutionizing traditional poultry farming. Replacing the noise and dust of old-style farms, this site features pristine egg production conditions and highly efficient smart systems.
Comprising eight advanced laying houses and a central egg storage facility, the farm manages one million laying hens in a clean, orderly environment. With a daily output of 600,000 fresh eggs directly delivered to consumers, it marks a new chapter in modern agriculture.
At the heart of this transformation is ZEUS’s fully automated layer cage system – the technological powerhouse driving productivity and quality.
Smart Farming, Redefined
Upon entering the Mianyang site, one is struck by how different it is from conventional farms. ZEUS’s automation technology has created a nearly self-operating ecosystem. Precise feeding and watering systems deliver balanced nutrition and clean water to each bird. A smart climate control system monitors and adjusts temperature, humidity, ventilation, and lighting to ensure optimal conditions for hen health and egg production.
Integrated IoT-based management collects and analyzes operational data in real time, providing valuable insights into flock health, egg yield, and system efficiency. Fresh eggs are gently conveyed from the cages to the sorting station via an automated egg collection line, reducing breakage and preserving quality. Meanwhile, a fully automated manure removal system keeps the barns hygienic and helps maintain top-level biosecurity standards.
Data-Driven Operations: A Leap Toward Precision Farming
With cloud computing, IoT integration, and big data analytics at its core, the ZEUS system has elevated farm management into a new era of transparency and efficiency. Every aspect of production—from feed intake and climate metrics to egg output and flock health—is now fully digital and traceable.
Remote monitoring, real-time alerts, and data-driven decision-making empower the farm to optimize performance and continuously enhance egg quality.
Conclusion
Guided by the vision of revitalizing rural communities and strengthening the poultry sector, the project—powered by ZEUS’s intelligent equipment—has become a vital force for local employment and economic development. It not only advances agricultural modernization but also serves as a successful model for sustainable rural prosperity.
