Project Development Overview
We selected the five parameter indices that most aquaculture businesses require as the criteria for building the system: dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity, ammonia ions, and water temperature. To address the environmental constraints of most aquaculture sites, we developed a water quality sensor system that requires no additional host equipment purchases, no wiring, and no complex installation. It can automatically sample water, self-clean, and directly connect to the internet to upload data.
The latest generation IoT smart water quality sensor features a compact size, high precision, durability, low installation cost, and wireless transmission capabilities. Incorporating our exclusive "Cyclic Self-Cleaning Technology", the sensor system requires almost no maintenance while retaining maximum accuracy. All obtained data is automatically integrated into the Cloud system, facilitating remote smart management, making it the best monitoring tool for smart water quality management and early warning.
Project Development Information
Functions and Structural Design of the Smart Water Quality Sensor:
- Includes electrical conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia nitrogen.
- NB-IoT module, antenna.
- Includes battery, solar panel, and power level detection.
- Comprises pump, solenoid valve, and fan.
- To align water quality sampling more closely with user needs, we have equipped the device with buoyancy materials, allowing the smart water quality sensor to float on the water surface. This makes it more convenient to collect water samples for testing.
- To solve the issue of dirt and impurities adhering to sensor probes, which degrades equipment and reduces accuracy, we incorporated an automatic cleaning system inside the water quality measurement box. This effectively reduces the frequency of manual cleaning and maintenance.
- Added a Bluetooth configuration function to facilitate quick manual setup of specific functions by users.
- After data is acquired, it is temporarily stored in the device to prevent data loss due to upload failures during poor network signals.
- To make water quality sampling even more precise, we designed a three-level sampling function. During sampling, water is simultaneously extracted from the upper, middle, and lower layers of the fish pond for analysis, thereby enhancing the reference value of the data.
- To mass-produce the smart water quality sensor commercially and to facilitate easier assembly, installation, disassembly, and future maintenance, the overall system was developed using a modular approach. The power supply, measurement, and control systems are clearly separated, achieving the goals of easy production, simple installation, high portability, straightforward repair, user-friendliness, and safe stability.
