Abstract

Aquaponics is a sustainable fish and plant production process in an indoor ecosystem. Recent development in aquaponics has led to the development of new automated technologies which can serve in high automation, efficiency, and waste minimization. Zero-defect production systems are key to high quality in a production environment where cyber-physical systems, data acquisition, and decision-making are paramount. This paper presents a novel framework based on a cyber-physical systems (CPS) architecture that provides data acquisition, data analytics, and data storage that supports defect damage detection and identification parameters optimizations to create an autonomous aquaponics production system. The proposed method is implemented and validated in the context of an indoor aquaponics environment with a full factory setup created in aquaponics 4.0 learning factory (AllFactory).
