Abstract
Aquaponics is the production cycle combining traditional aquaculture with hydroponics. The quality of water is the main factor in determining the success of aquaponics. This quality can be determined through measuring various water parameters; most importantly are the dissolved oxygen, water temperature and the level of acidity. Taking advantage of the advancements in Internet of Things (IoT), embedded systems and cloud computing has eased the task of evaluating the water quality by deploying various sensors and actuators around the aquaponics platform. The parameters are constantly monitored and kept under control. The system proposed is based on Modbus TCP communication protocol which is widely used as a standard within industrial applications. The use of Modbus and IoT technology has permitted the development a smart aquaponics system for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
