This document describes data loggers and monitoring solutions for aquaculture farms. It discusses autonomous data loggers that can record environmental parameters like temperature, oxygen, and salinity for up to 5 years on batteries. The loggers can communicate data via radio frequency, GPRS cellular networks, or WiFi to a web database. This allows farmers to remotely monitor conditions and track factors that influence fish growth. The loggers are designed for easy installation and low maintenance costs.
2. • Real-time recording and tracking of environmental parameters that influence the feedingand
the growth of the fish (temperature, oxygen, water salinity, water speed, etc.)
• Flexible, easy to use hardware, seamlesslyintegratedwith management software.
• Low cost and straight forward installationand maintenance.
• Autonomous devices. Often the infrastructure at the farmis limited and there is no electricity
in the production area.
• Easy to install equipment.Usuallyit is difficult to install equipment like solar panels,battery
sets, etc.
NEEDS
3. AquaManager dataloggers are a perfect fit for aquaculture applications:
• Complete, sealed, high reliability,field proven data acquisition and recording system.
• Flexible and Autonomous. It is possible to operate bothwith external power supplyas well as
just with battery, withoutanyexternal power supply. Battery life up to 5 years. All the
communicationoptions are supported, from 3G to RF to WiFi.
• Native integrationwith aquaManager system.
• Free service that allows web access to real-time and historical measurements, from any
device.
• Low initial and maintenancecost.
• Easy installation.
