Iranian Specialists Design Smart Pet-Feeding System
“We succeeded in designing and manufacturing a smart drinking device for pets,” Omid Farhadi, the manager of a technological company stationed at Islamic Azad University’s Gorgan branch, told ANA.
“The smart pet drinking device, named Pet Noush, is an intelligent device for providing water needed by pets at any time of the day and night. It has a presence detection sensor and when the pet approaches it, it starts working and provides the needed water to the pet. It is equipped with a filter to purify water from suspended particles and consumes little amount of electricity (9 volts),” he added.
Farhadi described the smart pet feeder as another product of his company, and said, “It is an MVP model and has been designed and built to mechanize the process of feeding pets. The device has a tank for placing dry food and is equipped with Wi-Fi and a mobile app to adjust the food schedule for pets, and thus, by using these two devices, the pet owners will be sure of feeding their pets during their absence.”
In a relevant development last year, a group of researchers at an Iranian knowledge-based company had also successfully acquired the know-how to produce diagnostic kits for three types of dangerous diseases in dogs and cats.
“This holding is operating in selling laboratory equipment and kits in the field of blood coagulation,” said Mohammad Ahsani Iravani, the sales manager of the knowledge-based firm.
“Meanwhile, the holding has also started operation in producing equipment needed by pharmaceutical companies inside the country,” he added.
Saying that the knowledge-based section of the holding has started its research in the field of producing various test kits for rapid diagnosis of human and animal diseases, Ahsani added, “The kits produced by this knowledge-based company include rapid test kits for detecting Covid-19, cardiac troponin rapid detection kit, illegal drug rapid detection kits including amphetamine, methamphetamine and morphine.”
He said that their company produces single strip and triple strip test kits, adding, “Pregnancy detection strips are another product of the company.”
