ESP-32 Based IOT Aquaponics system for sustainable Food management

Abstract

Aquaculture is a rapidly growing industry, requiring efficient monitoring and automation to enhance productivity. This project presents an IoT-based real-time fish farming system integrating automatic feeding and water quality tracking. The system employs ESP-32 for wireless connectivity and real-time monitoring. Sensors measure turbidity, temperature, and humidity, ensuring optimal water conditions. An RTC module schedules feeding through an automated feed motor. Inlet and outlet water pumps regulate water flow, maintaining cleanliness. Data is displayed on an LCD and transmitted via Bluetooth and IoT for remote monitoring. The regulated power supply ensures uninterrupted operation. By automating feeding and water quality management, this system reduces manual effort, improves fish health, and increases yield. It provides a sustainable and cost-effective solution for modern aquaculture.Utilizing the ESP-32 microcontroller, the system monitors key water quality parameters such as turbidity, temperature, and humidity, ensuring optimal conditions for fish health. An integrated Real-Time Clock (RTC) schedules feeding times, controlling an automated feed motor that dispenses feed at set intervals, reducing manual labour.To maintain a clean environment, inlet and outlet water pumps regulate water flow and manage waste. Data is displayed on an LCD and transmitted via Bluetooth and IoT platforms for remote monitoring. Powered by a regulated supply, the system ensures uninterrupted operation. By automating feeding and water quality management, this solution enhances fish health and increases yield, promoting sustainability in aquaculture.
