Aquicultura 4.0: Sistema de gerenciamento de fazenda

Abstract

Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing animal production sectors worldwide, playing a key role in global food security. However, the sector's growth presents challenges related to production management, sustainability, and the adoption of accessible technologies. In this context, this work proposes the development of a digital management system for aquaculture farms, aligned with the principles of Aquaculture 4.0. The main goal is to provide a free, open- source tool tailored to the realities of small and medium-sized producers, promoting greater efficiency and autonomy in the farming of tilapia and shrimp. The research was based on the analysis of four management systems currently available on the market, which revealed limitations such as high costs, low usability, and lack of adaptation to field conditions. To address these gaps, a system was designed with a focus on accessibility, mobile usability, and offline data recording, using technologies such as React, TypeScript, and modern graphic libraries. The design followed a Mobile-First approach, with prototyping carried out in Figma. The system includes modules for zootechnical planning, biometric monitoring with graphical growth visualization, a dynamic feeding table, and team management. Data is stored locally, allowing use even in areas without internet access. The results demonstrate that the tool can optimize farm management, facilitate production monitoring, and support decision-making, contributing to the modernization of Brazilian aquaculture. In addition to addressing current technological gaps, the system proposes future innovations such as IoT sensor integration, expansion to other species, and the implementation of analytical dashboards. Thus, the project contributes to the democratization of technology in rural areas and presents itself as a viable and sustainable alternative to strengthen the aquaculture production chain.
