An integrated system of mobile application and IoT solution for pond monitoring

Abstract

The current progress of information and communication technology has been critical to the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) in a aquaculture system. IoT solution in this system utilizes interconnectivity between devices to obtain fish pond monitoring data from sensing devices and then transmit the data to a remote server to be analyzed for decision-making in pond management. In this paper, we propose a smart pond IoT solution that provides a continuous and real-time pond monitoring. The system principally embeds five sensors that measure critical environmental parameters to determine water quality: temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), total dissolved solids (TDS), and salinity. The IoT solution also integrates the development of a mobile application on the android platform that allows remote monitoring capabilities for users to maintain efficient pond management. The application is designed with a friendly-user interface that helps the farmer to monitor sensor measurements, manage fish production cycle, record fish feeding schedule, and also monitor the health status of fish from multiple ponds.
