The Challenge

A compact IoT device was needed to monitor poultry farm environments while withstanding constant exposure to moisture, dust, and fluctuating outdoor conditions. The unit required IPX65 compliance, leak-proof sealing, and mechanical robustness to ensure reliable performance in real-world farm settings.

The Solution

FVG partnered with the customer to design, validate, and prepare the device for scalable production.

Manufacturing Process:

• Mechanical Support: Assisted with housing, sealing, and structural development.

• Sealing and Protection: Designed and validated custom rubber seals to achieve IPX65 compliance.

• Testing and Validation: Conducted environmental and leak-proof testing across EVT and DVT stages.

• Pilot Build: Delivered a >1,000 unit PVT build to enable wider deployment.
  

This process combined technical expertise with practical field requirements, ensuring the device could operate in harsh agricultural environments.

The Outcome

The collaboration resulted in a rugged IoT sensor successfully deployed across poultry farms. With IPX65 validation and proven durability, the device was ready for large-scale use.

This project highlights FVG’s ability to support IoT product development for agriculture, from early design support through to validated, scalable manufacturing.
