Aquaculture monitoring, from open sea to fish tanks
Two years in operation. Measurement hardware and software connecting offshore buoys, on-site monitoring and cloud access.
Measurement points and equipment
- Offshore buoys
- Current speed, oxygen, temperature and other water conditions, at several points at sea.
- From each buoy to the base station on shore.
- Tank house
- Temperature, oxygen, light and other conditions in the fish tanks.
- Kept on site and shown over the local network.
The need: a systematic view of conditions
The customers needed a more systematic way to collect and use measurement data, recognise when conditions went wrong, and respond. The work covered both offshore monitoring and fish tanks on site.
What we built
Our team developed the hardware and software for the measurement systems. In the open sea, multiple buoys sent data to a base station, which then synchronised it to the cloud. Offshore, the buoys measured water-current speed, oxygen, temperature and other water conditions. In fish tanks, the systems monitored temperature, oxygen, light and other environmental conditions.
Useful on site, even with unreliable internet
Cloud access was one part of the solution. Customers could also view measurements locally, without depending on a stable internet connection. This made on-site access a practical part of their monitoring work.
Two years of operational history
At the time of this account, the systems had been operating for two years. Customers can compare conditions with a week, a month or a year earlier, using the accumulated history alongside current measurements to monitor their operation.
