The Aquaponic Ecosystem Using IoT and IA Solutions

Abstract

For solving the negative impact of the human evolution in earth, water, pollution, and quality of feed, a system of aquaponics is proposed to manage gardening and recover up to 90% of water used for plants. Aquaponics is a system that combines two names: aquaculture, which is the farming of fish, and hydroponic, which is the cultivation of plants (off-soil). On the other hand is the possibility of using the phytotron system. The objective of this solution is to collect performance measures, to control the watering conditions of plants (water level, temperature, humidity) with a cloud support and other possibilities offered by the internet of things (IoT). The paper aims to provide a smart solution integrating the phytotron solution in order to control the first part, which is the hydroponic, and the second part concerning the aquaculture in order to offer a smart environment.
