Smart Aquaculture

SMART AQUACULTURE

Built around a smart-fishery platform that unifies environment, equipment, production and security data — making aquaculture visible, controllable and traceable.

01

CONTEXT

From experience-driven to data-driven farming

Traditional aquaculture relies heavily on human experience: environment, equipment, production and security systems operate as isolated silos with fragmented data; anomalies depend on manual watch with delayed alerts, and key decisions lack data support — keeping labor costs and production risks high.

GW-OCEAN builds around a smart-fishery platform that collects and unifies water quality, meteorology, equipment status, energy consumption and underwater video across the board, forming a complete digital chain of “sense — aggregate — analyze — alert — closed-loop handling” to make the farming process visible, controllable and traceable.

ARCHITECTURE

Seven-layer architecture + smart-fishery platform

The solution is decoupled into seven layers — sensing & collection, network & edge, data platform, intelligent control, business applications, interaction & display, and platform support. The bottom layers collect online five-parameter water quality, meteorology, equipment parameters and underwater video; the data platform cleans, encodes and stores everything with second-level real-time push; the upper layers host environment management, multi-level alerting, work-order closed loops, full-process traceability and the fish-disease library. Data sources, devices and AI models all extend as plug-ins.

Overall logical architecture of the smart-fishery platform

A

Multi-level intelligent alertingUnified Alerting

Six anomaly sources — water quality, equipment, AI recognition, security, inventory and energy — converge into one rule center with four severity levels (critical / major / minor / notice). Reliability mechanisms such as consecutive-violation confirmation, multi-parameter cross-validation, dedup & storm suppression and timeout escalation ensure no false alarms and no misses, with second-level response to critical anomalies.

B

Farming environment managementEnvironment

Drill down across site — workshop — pond levels with real-time online five-parameter water quality; per-pond environmental health scores quantify water status, with correlation analysis against growth and energy use plus historical playback.

C

Fish morphology & behavior recognitionFish Vision AI

Stereo / underwater cameras continuously capture imagery to estimate body length, volume and weight, compare growth curves by batch or pond, and accumulate labeled data for AI model training.

D

Fish-disease library & knowledge baseKnowledge Base

Structured records of diseases, symptoms, causes and treatments with annotated symptom imagery; full-text searchable SOPs for water quality, equipment and disease handling let field staff quickly match similar cases.

E

Patrol work orders & approvalsWork Orders

Alerts convert to work orders automatically, managed across the full lifecycle of dispatch, acceptance, handling and review; map-based route check-ins, multi-level approvals with e-signatures keep the handling chain complete and accountable.

F

Full-process traceabilityTraceability

Batch-lineage management from fry through farming and harvest to processed product, linked with feeding, medication, water-quality and inspection records; automatic collection and manual entry are trust-graded, and consumers can scan a code to view the entire farming process.

WORKFLOW

Sense — aggregate — alert — handle — trace, in a closed loop

  1. 1

    Full-scope sensing

    Online five-parameter water quality, meteorology, equipment parameters, energy use, underwater video and manual patrol data are collected uniformly, with offline buffering so no data is lost.

  2. 2

    Data aggregation & governance

    Multi-source data enters the data platform for unified cleaning, standardization and encoding; time-series and relational data are stored separately, with real-time data pushed to every endpoint within seconds.

  3. 3

    Intelligent analysis & alerting

    The rule center grades six anomaly classes uniformly, with layered reliability mechanisms filtering false alarms and misses; anomalies push instantly to the management console and mobile end.

  4. 4

    Closed-loop work orders

    Alerts auto-generate patrol work orders; dispatch, acceptance, handling and review run fully digitally with timeout escalation — results are traceable and assessable.

  5. 5

    Traceability & decision support

    The whole production process settles into batch lineage and the knowledge base, supporting product-traceability queries and next-cycle farming decisions.

ADVANTAGES

Why GW-OCEAN

Decoupled & extensible

Seven layers each do one job: new monitoring points, devices or AI models plug in without rebuilding existing systems — protecting prior investment.

Reliable, fast alerting

Debouncing, cross-validation, storm suppression and auto-escalation ensure alerts neither cry wolf nor miss, with second-level response to critical anomalies.

Trustworthy data

Fixed stations, mobile patrols and manual entries merge per pond and cross-check each other; bad values are flagged automatically — every record has an identifiable, trusted source.

On-premises & secure

Full-stack on-premises deployment on the plant LAN with zero public-network dependency, plus access control, audit trails and ops monitoring — data never leaves the site.
