Diseño e implementación de prototipo IOT para el monitoreo remoto de la calidad del agua para la crianza de tilapias en estanques

Abstract

This article has as its main objective the design and implementation of an IoT prototype for remote monitoring of water quality for tilapia breeding in ponds to be applied in fish farming located in Ecuador in order to technify the breeding, growth and maintenance of tilapia, carrying out constant monitoring through IoT platforms that together with sensors and low-cost hardware technologies such as ESP8266 and Raspberry PI. Different environmetal and water quality parameters can be constantly monitored to maintain adequate control over the growth of tilapia, since the objective is to reduce tilapia mortality and technified growth for local consumption or subsequent sales. An IoT device was made that together with the sensors monitors water quality and the tilapia breeding environment, the data will be obtained by the sensors and sent to ESP8266 and Raspberry PI, to be stored on the local Raspberry PI server and data is sent to servers on the web using Thingspeak. All the information obtained by the sensors is displayed locally on the Raspberry PI server using Grafana Opensource software. The contribution of the IoT prototype was made with low-cost hardware and ThingSpeak software with a free test license. It is essential that in the place where the pool is with the fry there is a stable internet connection.
