Smart Aquaponics with Automatic Sensors Cleaning for Zero Waste Integrated Farming System using Internet of Things

Integrated Farming System (IFS) is an agricultural system that integrates agricultural, crop, livestock and fish sub-sector activities. The linkages between sub-sector activities support zero waste concept. As a part of IFS, aquaponics is defined as a cooperation between plants and fish. In order to optimize the aquaponics, a smart aquaponics system is proposed. This system is equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) real-time monitoring system for air temperature, air humidity, water temperature, water level, water pH, and water Total Dissolve Solid (TDS). Furthermore, an automation system was also added for scheduled feeding, pump and aerator settings, water sampling, and sensors cleaning. The aquaponics system can work very well and the automatic sensors cleaning allows the TDS and pH sensors to get more accurate data and have more possibility of longer lifetime.
