Smart IoT System to Optimise Micro-Nutrient Balancing for Sustainable Aquaponics
3 August 2026
A comprehensive IoT-based monitoring and control system specifically designed to optimise aquaponics operations for sustainable agriculture.
Technology Overview
This technology offers a comprehensive IoT-based monitoring and control system specifically designed to optimise aquaponics operations for sustainable agriculture. The system addresses the critical challenge of maintaining proper macro-nutrient and micro-nutrient balance in aquaponics, where traditional monitoring methods are time-consuming and inaccurate. This solution provides real-time monitoring of essential parameters, including nutrients, pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity. The system automatically adjusts nutrient dosing, ensuring optimal conditions for both fish and plant growth. This technology targets aquaponics farmers, agricultural researchers, and sustainable farming enterprises seeking to enhance farm productivity whilst reducing manual intervention and operational costs.
