Smart shrimp hatchery using Mikros platform

In this paper, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been deployed to monitor the temperature and control the air conditions in a shrimp hatchery. The in-house nodes called Mikros are currently employed in the clustered WSNs. XBee platform is also included to the system as a cluster head and repeater. All data and control live onto the web application and iPhone application. The main contribution of this paper is to demonstrate that our WSNs technologies, node implementation, routing protocol and software development can successfully be applied in the farm.
