Automated feed control for individual dosing of feed to each fish tank
Information security and protection needs, in research centers, are usually the object of maximum care, together with the need for flexibility and immediacy of access to such information at any time and from any place.
With a centralized supervision and control system we obtain important advantages for researchers: automated control of the installation in real time, both locally and remotely, video recording in 4K resolution in order to complete the information collected by the system, and automated control, in this case, of fish feeding to automate the dosing of feed individually.
Regarding the third advantage, all the automatic feeders are controlled from the PLC to dispense the programmed quantities of feed into each of the tanks. The system also allows different schedules to be made for each tank, and stores the results in a database that allows researchers to obtain immediate results thanks to the digitization of the entire process.
We are grateful for the trust placed in the IATS research center of the CSIC.
