Urban Aquaculture
Applications
IoTPortal’s monitoring and control features help you to provide an optimal environment for healthy aquatic and plant life in a wide range of Aquaculture applications including:
With IoTPortal, employees can view data from a wide array of sensors and control devices such as pumps and fish feeders via the output actuators, from anywhere via their Smartphones. They can also oversee the farm by viewing a large number of charts on a larger computer screen using our dashboard. The system can also be configured with events allowing it to react automatically, for example to turn on an air pump when the dissolved oxygen gets low.
Features
The system shown uses several of BRTSys sensors to monitor the critical parameters to ensure the health of the aquatic life. The IoTPortal Gateway manages the Long Distance Sensor Bus consisting of up to 80 sensor units and over distances of 200m per bus allowing use in facilities with many different ponds spread over a wide area.
The system allows you to monitor parameters such as:
- Nutrient level via the EC probe adapter
- Water temperature via Thermocouple sensor adapter
- pH level via the pH sensor adapter
- Dissolved Oxygen level via the DO sensor adapter
- Water quality and waste product breakdown via the ORP sensor adapter
- Salinity level via the salinity sensor adapter for saltwater applications
- Water Level via the IO Controller
- General environment monitoring (such as CO2 level and motion sensing)
It provides manual or automatic control of devices too such as:
- Control water pumps to control water levels and filtration (2CH Relay actuator)
- Control air pumps to maintain water quality (2CH Relay actuator)
- Control fish feeders automatically (2CH Relay actuator)
- Control Sirens and Warning Lights to indicate to staff that attention is required (2CH Relay actuator)
User friendly and intuitive user interface via smartphone app and dashboard (viewed on a computer via browser)
- Set up and configure the entire system using the app and dashboard without any programming
- View the system status from anywhere using the smartphone app
- Use the dashboard on a large monitor to view many charts at once
- Set up events to automatically respond to measured conditions
- Receive emails, SMS and push notifications when an exception occurs
Advantages
- Maintain a healthy environment for aquatic life
Ensure optimal water quality and environment conditions remain within limits. The IoTPortal monitors the farm 24/7 without the need for manual monitoring. Configure the alert system to notify you and your staff when an issue occurs or something requires attention.
- Monitor large aquaculture farms
Each gateway supports three daisy-chained sensor networks, up to 200m long, allowing a large area to be covered. Use more than one gateway for even larger systems.
- Simple Installation
The LDSBus uses convenient RJ45 connectors and CAT5e/6 cabling in a simple daisy chained configuration. The bus provides power to the sensors avoiding the need to have separate power cabling or outlets.
- Easy to use and intuitive
The smartphone app and dashboard are easy to use for all members of staff. Set up different user permissions so that you can specify whether that can view the system or can change settings etc.
- Range of sensors
We have a wide range of sensors for aquaculture applications allowing the entire farm to be monitored via one system with all sensors and actuators working together. Find out more about our range of sensors and actuators below.

Car Parking
Features
The system shown uses several of BRT Systems’ sensors to monitor the critical parameters within the Car Park System. The IoTPortal Gateway manages the Long Distance Sensor Bus consisting of up to 80 sensor units and over distances of 200m per bus allowing use in Car Parks with multiple parking floors.
The system allows you to monitor parameters such as:
- Air Quality via the AQS (Air Quality Sensor) adapter

It provides manual or automatic control of devices too such as:
- Control Lights to switch on when motion is sensed (2CH Relay actuator and Motion from 4in1 sensor)
- Control Lights depending on the ambient sensor reading (2CH Relay actuator and Ambient light from 4in1 sensor)
- Control Extractor Fans to maintain air quality by removing exhaust fumes (2CH Relay actuator)
Advantages
- Maintain clean environment
Avoid build-up of harmful gases from car exhaust fumes, extractor fans switch on when the air quality range meets the preset value.
- Monitor Multiple Floors
Monitor sensors on multiple floors within a multi-storey car park building.
- Simple Installation
The LDSBus uses convenient RJ45 connectors and CAT5e/6 cabling in a simple daisy chained configuration. The bus provides power to the sensors avoiding the need to have separate power cabling or outlets.
- Easy to use and intuitive
The smartphone app and dashboard are easy to use for all members of staff. Set up different user permissions so that you can specify whether that can view the system or can change settings etc.

Data Centre
Features
The system shown uses several of BRT Systems’ sensors to monitor the critical parameters within a Data Centre. The IoTPortal Gateway manages the Long Distance Sensor Bus consisting of up to 80 sensor units and over distances of 200m per bus allowing use in Data Centres with multiple rooms.
The system allows you to monitor parameters such as:
- Air Quality via the AQS (Air Quality Sensor) adapter
- Temperature via the 4in1 Sensor
- Humidity via the 4in1 Sensor
- Ambient Light via the 4in1 Sensor
- Motion Sensing via the 4in1 Sensor
It provides manual or automatic control of devices too such as:
- Control Lights to switch on when motion is sensed (2CH Relay actuator and Motion from 4in1 sensor)
- Control Lights depending on the ambient sensor reading (2CH Relay actuator and Ambient light from 4in1 sensor)
- Control Air Conditioning to maintain steady temperature (2CH Relay actuator and Temperature from 4in1 sensor)
Advantages
- Maintain accurate temperature levels
A constant temperature is key to keeping a Data Centre running. If the room is too hot it can damage equipment and data could be lost. The system can be set to automatically adjust the air conditioning and also alter any user globally of an issue.
- Monitor Multiple Rooms
Monitor sensors on multiple rooms within the Data Centre.
