Wireless ecosystem for monitoring and control in fish farming.
Wireless system for monitoring and control of oxygen in fish production.
Invention patent NC2016/0000229, Colombia (Granted).
Agriculture
Fish farming.
Ease of use, low cost, energy reduction, real-time monitoring and control.
- Controls the temperature and the level of dissolved oxygen in the tank water without the need to inject additional water into the main tank.
- Reduces water and electricity consumption costs.
- Control of physicochemical variables.
- It alerts the user about the variables in the tank wirelessly, even in areas where there is no internet coverage thanks to its communication system via cellular networks to a mobile device.
- Independence from grid connection, since it has a renewable and sustainable energy system.
- Avoids contamination of water sources, since the closed recirculation system prevents excessive wastewater production from the tank.
- Energy savings in fish farming as well as water savings, due to the use of solar panels and a tank interconnection system respectively.
- It can monitor the physicochemical variables of several tanks simultaneously, due to the expansion capacity of the measurement system to other similar tanks located at considerable distances.
