Short description: Simulation of an aquaponics network to see scenarios and help farmers with ecological and economical solutions.

Project description:

EPS-Project Content Operating an aquaponics system successfully requires know-how and experience, which newcomers to the business must acquire first. However, research looking into how contemporary IoT (Internet of Things) technology can be employed profitably in a circular economy enables newcomers to take a short-cut. The current project expands on such research but goes beyond simply optimizing processes with IoT applications. It does not only aim for using recyclables more effectively and efficiently, but also for constructing self-sufficient systems on the basis of renewable energies and cascadic usage of resources. Moreover, participant networks for exchanging IoT data are being formed. With the help of these networks, experience gaps are closed, distributed production is facilitated, optimizations can be achieved and as a result the environmental impact is reduced. In addition, the advantages of such networks become clearly tangible and their underlying ideas are advertised.
