Our research was conducted to design and manufacture an automatic monitoring and warning system for shrimp ponds using three environmental parameters including pH, DO concentration, and salinity. Different from the manual measurement with KIT sets, hand-held meters requires many workers, or automatic monitoring of sensor network with nodes located in each pond often has a high cost, this study proposed the use of a measuring station to remotely monitor the water environment of ponds through an application installed on the smartphone. Water samples of ponds were pumped in turn to the measuring station, where parameters were determined, processed, and sent to the monitoring interface on a smartphone, and at the same time, providing timely warnings to the manager via text messages when these parameters are outside the allowed threshold. This research is not only applicable to the shrimp pond environment but also widely applicable in aquaculture. This is also an open direction in the application of automation in agricultural production. It is also possible to develop a monitoring system, automatic data storage of the pond environment, contributing to making the most effective management plan.
