Purpose

The environmental monitoring system, using track inspection robots as the primary component, represents a novel approach to environmental monitoring. Currently, there is limited research on this technology. This study aims to explore the use of microelectronics integration technology to enhance the capabilities of the track inspection robot within the environmental monitoring system.

Design/methodology/approach

An integrated universal main controller was designed by using microelectronics integration technology and using ATmega2560 as the control core. The previously complex and large environmental control system was streamlined into a more efficient integrated design through micromotor integration technology, focusing on the track inspection robot. Subsequently, the overall performance of the environmental control system was evaluated.

Findings

After program optimization, the controller was implemented on the current pig house track inspection robot. In comparison to the initial control system, standby power consumption decreased by 78.89%, average operating power consumption decreased by 20.6%, average cost reduced by 38% and 40% of wiring space was saved.

Originality/value

The environmental monitoring system, using track inspection robots as the primary component, represents a novel approach to environmental monitoring. Currently, there is limited research on this technology. This study explores the use of microelectronics integration technology to enhance the capabilities of the track inspection robot within the environmental monitoring system.
