Problem Statement

Aquaponic systems must balance water chemistry for both fish health and plant growth simultaneously, a complex multi-variable problem that is difficult to manage manually at scale.

Challenges

Maintaining safe ammonia and nitrate levels for fish while supplying nutrients to plants
Coordinating multiple actuators (pumps, aerators, feeders) without conflicting control loops
Identifying fish stress or disease and plant health issues early

Solution

Comprehensive water-quality monitoring (pH, DO, EC, TDS, ammonia, nitrate and more) feeds automated control of pumps, aerators, filters, LED lights, feeders, ventilation and humidifiers. AI modules analyse fish behaviour and plant canopy growth to catch issues early.

Sensor Details

Monitoring of pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), EC, TDS, water level, ammonia, nitrate, air temperature, humidity, light and CO2 across fish tanks and grow beds.

Automation Logic

Automated control of water pumps, aerators, filters, LED lights, fish feeders, ventilation and humidifiers maintains safe ranges for both fish and plants, with cross-checks to avoid conflicting actuator states.
