Why the name "Kantangren"
The most dangerous window in pond farming is 2–5 a.m.: algae produce oxygen by day but consume it at night, and together with fish and shrimp respiration, dissolved oxygen falls to its daily low before dawn. That is when everyone is asleep — by the time fish gasp at the surface, losses have already started. Watching the pond means watching that one breath. TAYKEE replaces manual night patrols with 24/7 online monitoring.
Why the name "TAYKEE"
TAYKEE is a coined word that stands for Trust And Keep Energy-safety — the trusted choice for guarding the energy that keeps a farm alive. If "Kantangren" answers who watches the pond, TAYKEE answers what keeps it running: dissolved-oxygen control is the vehicle, but reliable power is the lifeline. Six letters, six commitments:
| Letter | Word | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| T | Technology | Advanced sensing at the core, driving the smart-aquaculture upgrade |
| A | Accuracy | Precise dissolved-oxygen data you can base decisions on |
| Y | Yield | Stable, higher output and better returns for farmers |
| K | Knowledge | Turning complex water-quality data into practical know-how |
| E | Ecology | A greener, sustainable underwater environment |
| E | Ease | 4G remote control — pond keeping made easy |
Our motto: TAYKEE — Keep your aquaculture always powered & safe.
What problems TAYKEE solves
- Pre-dawn hypoxia goes unnoticed: continuous DO monitoring with low-oxygen alarms closes the blind spot of manual patrols;
- Aerators switched by hand: threshold-driven start/stop with VFD closed-loop control ramps aeration up when DO drops and down when it recovers;
- Multi-pond operations are hard: one platform shows live data and alarms for every pond, with per-pond thresholds;
- Network and power outages: local fallback keeps aerators following thresholds offline; the intrinsically safe DC 48V architecture handles storm nights.
Technology stack
- Fluorescence DO sensor: no membrane replacement, low drift, with auto-wiper against biofouling;
- 4G controller: uploads field data to the cloud and runs local control logic;
- Intrinsically safe DC 48V power: system-level architecture coordinating distribution, IoT and platform;
- VFD closed-loop aeration: adjusts aerator frequency on measured DO, balancing safety and power cost;
- Cloud platform and mobile app: live values, history curves, alarm push and remote control.
Product matrix
- Y504-A fluorescence DO sensor — membrane-free, IP68 titanium, RS485 straight into the controller;
- TK-4G-GW 4G gateway and TK-R12 12-channel control board — edge DO closed loop with offline fallback;
- DC48V system-level power and energy storage (R40KL / S40K) — sub-100ms off-grid switchover keeps aerators running;
- TAYKEE Cloud Platform — multi-pond dashboard, history curves, graded alarms and OTA updates.

Frequently asked questions
- What is TAYKEE?
- TAYKEE (Kantangren) is a smart aquaculture monitoring and automatic aeration control system for fish, shrimp and crab pond farms. The Chinese brand name is Kantangren (看塘人) and the English brand is TAYKEE, developed by Guangzhou Hotekey Electronics Co., Ltd.
- What farming scenarios is TAYKEE used in?
- TAYKEE is built for pond aquaculture: fish ponds, shrimp ponds (including Pacific white shrimp) and crab ponds, as well as other pond farms that need continuous dissolved oxygen monitoring and automatic aeration.
- How does TAYKEE control aerators?
- A fluorescence dissolved oxygen sensor measures DO in real time and a 4G controller uploads data to the cloud platform. When DO drops below the configured safety threshold, aerators start or ramp up automatically; when DO recovers, they throttle down. Compared with fixed timers, this closed-loop control is both safer and more energy-efficient.
- Does the system still work if the network or power fails?
- Yes. Control logic runs locally, so aerators keep following DO thresholds during a network outage. The power side uses an intrinsically safe DC 48V supply architecture with backup design for storm nights.
- Can one system manage multiple ponds?
- Yes. TAYKEE supports centralized multi-pond management: live DO, device status and alarms for all ponds in one account, with per-pond thresholds — designed for farms and aquaculture cooperatives.
- How is TAYKEE different from timer-based aeration?
- Timer-based aeration runs on a fixed schedule and ignores actual DO, so it can be off during a pre-dawn oxygen crash and waste power when oxygen is already sufficient. TAYKEE runs closed-loop on measured DO: aerators start on low oxygen and stop on recovery, with alarms pushed to the farmer — reducing night patrols.
