Human Machine Interface on e-Shrimp as Smart Control System for Whiteleg Shrimp Pond

摘要

In this research, Human Machine Interface (HMI) was created on e-Shrimp as a smart control system for whiteleg shrimp pond to increase the productivity of shrimp farming industry. HMI is a device for interaction between a user with e-Shrimp. Periodically Remote Pond Monitoring (RPM) module on e-Shrimp will provide information of water quality condition of the pond on HMI which is then displayed on LCD screen and LED indicator. This research uses a multi-pond system. HMI is able to receive information from four RPM sensors at the same time. HMI can also provide notification to the user in form of alarm and Short Message Service (SMS) when water quality information of the pond is in an abnormal condition. In addition, a user can use the keypad to navigate menus on the e-Shrimp system or send SMS to HMI to perform the desired action. The data sent to the HMI is stored into the SD Card which can be used for the research needs of the user.
