LoRaWAN networking application solution for water quality monitoring

1.Overview

The quality of water not only directly affects the quality and yield of aquatic products, but also affects the mortality rate, ultimately affecting the economic benefits of farmers. Therefore, maintaining a good water environment is the primary task of aquaculture.

In order to achieve efficient aquaculture, refined water quality management is essential. Fine water quality management not only requires controlling basic data such as water temperature, light, pH value, but more importantly, real-time monitoring of key parameters such as dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, and conductivity of water bodies.

These parameters directly affect the efficiency of aquaculture production and the health status of aquatic products.

In modern aquaculture, intelligent pond aquaculture data collection systems play an important role. This system can provide multiple functions such as water monitoring and remote control management, and achieve real-time monitoring and early warning of various basic parameters in the aquaculture process through Internet of Things technology.

Managers can have a detailed understanding of the situation of the pond at any time and any place, and take necessary measures in a timely manner to ensure that the water quality remains at its best.

       The aquaculture water quality monitoring system consists of six parts: water quality sensors, data acquisition devices, communication systems, power supply systems, overall brackets, and water quality monitoring platforms. It can simultaneously monitor various water quality factors such as water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, ammonia nitrogen, turbidity, etc; The data acquisition device has functions such as data acquisition, real-time clock, timed data storage, parameter setting, user-friendly human-machine interface, and standard communication.

 Meanwhile, the system is equipped with a large capacity FLASH storage chip; Multiple communication interfaces can easily establish wired communication connections with computers, and if equipped with GPRS wireless communication modules, remote wireless connections between devices and computer monitoring centers can also be achieved.

Through this intelligent monitoring and management, farmers can not only effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases and reduce mortality rates, but also optimize the breeding environment, improve the quality and yield of aquatic products, and maximize economic benefits.

The application of intelligent pond aquaculture data collection system not only improves the scientific management level of aquaculture, but also provides strong guarantee for the sustainable development of aquaculture.

2.Introduction to System Features and Advantages

Multi project management function

The system can establish multiple management projects for different pools/ponds, equipment, and managers. Each management project can be independent of each other or managed by a super administrator. The collected data can be saved, historical data can be viewed at any time, and can be used for analysis to summarize experience and guide management for users in aquaculture.

Data monitoring

Through the real-time monitoring interface of the system, users can intuitively view the current situation of the device, as well as the current values of various parameters and whether there are any exceeding limits. Clicking on the card can view the data changes over a period of time. Users can group data based on factors such as fish pond numbers to more accurately locate fish ponds and data.

Equipment control

The real-time control interface of the system can realize the control of feeding machines, aerators and other equipment. Even if the manager leaves the site, it can be remotely controlled or automatically controlled by setting logic.

Abnormal alarm

Through the system platform, users can set the safe value range of the monitored parameters. Once the front-end sensor detects that a certain water quality parameter exceeds the safe value range, the system will send an alarm message to notify the user for timely processing, ensuring good water quality in the breeding farm.

Wireless deployment

Using LoRa ® Wireless technology, wide coverage, low deployment cost, battery powered.

IP68 grade sensor

The water quality sensor has reached IP68 protection level for dust and water resistance, and can be continuously monitored by long-term use in water. Sensor maintenance is also simple, and some sensors only require regular replacement of accessories.

By utilizing Internet of Things technology to achieve precise monitoring and intelligent regulation of water environments, this platform will bring revolutionary changes to aquaculture and promote the direction towards intelligence, efficiency, and automation.

3.Specific functions of the platform

Manage a picture

A system diagram can provide statistical and visual display of equipment status, type distribution, usage, energy consumption distribution, alarm information, etc., facilitating quick management, viewing, and positioning.

Real time data display

PH、Real time data chart display of parameters such as salt content, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, etc., and recording and analyzing them to achieve visual display of chart curves.

Data analysis

Summarize and classify data, and draw corresponding data analysis charts based on different application scenarios, including pie charts, line charts, bar charts, etc., which can be used for data queries, exports, and other operations.

Warning management

Monitoring equipment can set warning thresholds, triggering warnings when the value exceeds the threshold. According to the warning threshold, multi-level warnings can be carried out, including various forms of warnings such as SMS and email.
