Electric power monitoring system in shrimp ponds based on internet of things (IoT)

Abstract

Shrimp is one of the major export and import commodities. Vanname shrimp (Litopenaeus Vannamei) is one of the most popular shrimp farms in Indonesia. Poor water quality (dissolved oxygen content) can cause the Vanname shrimp affected by diseases such as white defecation. This disease causes Vanname shrimp to lose appetite, which results in slow growth. To prevent the lack of oxygen problem, one needs a waterwheel to maintain oxygen levels properly. The authors designed a tool to detect waterwheel conditions by monitoring the electric current on waterwheels in IoT-based shrimp ponds. The system uses Arduino for sensor data acquisition, Raspberry Pi to send data to IoT platform, INA219 sensor to measure current value and voltage on the waterwheel. The implementation results show the obtained percentage of accuracy from INA219 sensor testing of 99.01% obtained from the average test results.
