Wireless Sensing Module for IoT Aquaponics Database Construction

The interest in aquaponics has been increasing in the last years since it may become one of the solutions for food scarcity around the world and the need for green and sustainable technologies in the food industry. Nevertheless, an aquaponics process is quite complex and the need for further studies about the parameter’s relationships that establish a base for future technological implementations is needed. This research project presents the development of a framework that involves the creation of a wireless sensing module that uses a pH, electroconductivity, water temperature, light resistor, air humidity, and air temperature sensor and the connection to a database capable of storing and linking the information to a quality assessment tool that can be used for future smart applications towards the feasibility of aquaponics at commercial scale.
