Taiwan’s animal industry has already been transformed from being a traditional small scale farming culture to a capital and technological intensive agro-industrial operation.Facing pressure from imported animal products

Taiwan has already begun to realize its strategy of producing high-quality

healthy and safe animal products to meet consumers’ demands.In recent years Taiwan has tried to establish an integrated management system to help raise the overall competitiveness of its animal industry.The study aimed at establishing a monitoring system that can efficiently monitor and control the collection vehicles for perished or diseased animals from farms for cremation.We also created a module for each collection vehicle that consisted of a declaration input device and a weight sensing system.This module receives integrated real-time positions

loadings and declaration data for perished or diseased animals during the daily operating period for each collection vehicle via the global positioning system（GPS） and the general packet radio service（GPRS）.We also have an in situ supervising vehicle that can retrieve and monitor information from the remote server system by GPRS

enabling the monitoring of possible improper usage conducted by the perished or diseased animal collection vehicles.Consequently

the system closely interconnects the delivery information between the collection vehicles
