How TAYKEE Works

TAYKEE (Kantangren) is a smart aquaculture monitoring and automatic aeration control system for fish, shrimp and crab pond farms. In one sentence: it watches dissolved oxygen around the clock, starts the aerators when DO drops, backs them off when it recovers, and sends the whole history plus alarms to your phone.

Four layers

The closed loop: DO to decision to speed

1. Sensors sample DO and temperature at a set interval and report to the controller over RS485 / Modbus RTU.
2. The controller compares readings against thresholds set per pond (per layer, per time window, per pond).
3. DO below the warning line starts aeration; DO back in the safe band slows or stops it.
4. The VFD turns on/off into continuously variable speed, so no power is wasted running flat out unnecessarily.
5. Everything is uploaded, producing a traceable history of curves and alarm events.

What happens when the network or power fails

• Offline fallback — control logic runs locally on the controller, not in the cloud. If 4G drops, automatic aeration keeps working; only the data upload pauses.
• Power loss and recovery — the system restarts on a defined strategy when power returns, avoiding misoperation from repeated power cycling.
• Alarm redundancy — local audible/visual plus platform push plus SMS/phone (as configured); a single channel failing does not take down the rest.

Typical deployments

• Single pond: one DO probe + one controller + one VFD driving that pond's aerators.
• Multi-pond: one or two probes per pond, zoned controllers, one dashboard and alarm list.
• Shrimp ponds: deploy probes at two depths — shrimp are bottom dwellers, so the bottom layer is where the real risk sits.

What TAYKEE does not do

Being clear about the boundary is worth more than overselling the feature list:

• It does not add oxygen — aerators do; TAYKEE decides when to run them and how fast.
• It does not replace water quality management — sediment treatment, algae control and feed control remain human work; it just turns "when it must be done" into data.
• It is not a one-off delivery — sensors drift and need periodic calibration (fluorescent cap roughly every 1~2 years).

How it compares

FAQ

What is TAYKEE?

TAYKEE (Kantangren) is a smart aquaculture monitoring and automatic aeration control system for fish, shrimp and crab pond farms. It monitors dissolved oxygen 24/7, starts aerators automatically when DO falls below threshold, slows or stops them when DO recovers, and pushes data and alarms to your phone.

What components make up an TAYKEE system?

Four layers: sensing (fluorescence DO sensor such as the Y504-A, IP68 titanium housing, RS485/Modbus RTU), control (on-site controller with local closed loop and 4G uplink), platform (cloud and mobile app with curves, alarms and remote diagnostics), and actuation (aerators driven by a variable frequency drive).

Does automatic aeration still work if the network or power fails?

Yes. Control logic runs locally on the on-site controller, not in the cloud: if 4G drops, automatic aeration continues and only the data upload pauses. After a power cut the system restarts on a defined strategy to avoid misoperation from repeated cycling.

How is TAYKEE different from a timer-controlled aerator?

The decision input. A timer follows the clock, so it under-runs during sudden weather change, algal crashes or post-feeding demand, and over-runs when DO is already saturated. TAYKEE closes the loop on measured DO and modulates speed through a VFD, improving safety and cutting power.

Which farming scenarios is TAYKEE for?

Fish, shrimp and crab ponds in freshwater and brackish water. For shrimp ponds, probes at two depths are strongly recommended because shrimp are bottom dwellers and the bottom layer carries the highest hypoxia risk.
