Abstract

This study aimed 1) to develop Solar-Powered Automatic Chicken Feeder and Drinker using IoT Technology, 2) to examine performance of Solar-Powered Automatic Chicken Feeder and Drinker using IoT Technology and 3) to evaluate the level of user satisfaction with the developed system. Data were collected through a machine performance test and a user satisfaction survey administered to a purposive sample of 20 chicken farmers from the Ban Phraek Chumrum Community Enterprise, Bang Toei Sub-district, Mueang Chachoengsao District, Chachoengsao Province. Descriptive statistics, including percentage, mean, and standard deviation, were employed for data analysis. The findings indicated that the developed automatic feeder and drinker achieved a total performance score of 111 points, equivalent to 92.5% efficiency. Results from the user trial revealed that the participants expressed the highest level of satisfaction with the system’s quality and operational efficiency, with a mean score of 4.97 and a standard deviation of 0.10.
