As a result of hearing of the producer, the environment system needs to able to be observed some broiler-houses, to inspect the summary data from the cellular phone, and to transmit the warning mail in a rapid temperature change. A basic part of the system is a sensor network by the sensor module that we developed. Only the sensor modules are put in the each broiler-house, and the network by wireless LAN communication is constructed, because the system needs to watch of two or more broiler-houses, and it is difficult to setup a large-scale system at the broiler-house. The always-connected high-speed Internet is preferable to accumulate, to process data, and to offer it to the user in a comprehensible form. But, it is difficult to build always-connected high-speed Internet at the chicken farm which is used by experiment. The server is set up in the remote place, and we propose the system that delivers data from the chicken farm with mail. The verification of the effectiveness of the proposed system and the problem are examined by actually setting up the system that proposes it in the broiler-house, and operating it. rv:
