Abstract

Animal temperature monitoring system and location tracking system based on Global Positioning System (GPS) and SMS gateway is one of the effective solutions to solve problems in detecting the health level of pets and decrease the amount of pet-loss cases. The system using GPS technology installed on the animals body. The system uses Arduino Pro Mini microcontroller that is connected to the GSM module as a communication channel between the user and the system. The system is designed to display the temperature and location data based on user requests sent via SMS. Tests show the system can work according to the initial scenario using the MLX 90614 sensor, Arduino Pro Mini AT Mega 328, GSM Module and GPS module. The system has the accuracy 99.62% compared to conventional thermometers. The system also has accuracy at 98.7% compared to the location accuracy on Google Maps.
