Project Summary
The Challenge:
A large aquaculture farm in Nigeria faced significant fish mortality rates due to poor water quality and lack of real-time monitoring capabilities. Farmers relied on manual observations, which were inconsistent and often delayed. This led to frequent occurrences of algal blooms and oxygen depletion, negatively impacting productivity and profitability.
The Solution:
Ismatic Engineering deployed its IoT-enabled aquaculture monitoring system on the client’s farm. IoT sensors were installed to monitor key parameters like water quality, temperature, and oxygen levels in real time. The data collected was analysed using predictive algorithms, allowing the farm to proactively adjust feeding schedules and aeration levels. Training sessions were provided to farm operators to ensure effective system use.
The Outcome
The client reported a 25% reduction in fish mortality and a 30% decrease in feed wastage. The system's predictive insights allowed for early detection of potential issues, significantly improving productivity. Additionally, the ease of monitoring via mobile devices enhanced operational efficiency and reduced manual labour requirements.
