This was a design project for an automated aquaponics farm. This project was commissioned by One Farm Nepal. This is an upgrade project as the company is operating the aquaponics farm with manpower. The main aim of this project was to automatize the aquaponic system. Designing the system utilizing most of the available space was the main motto of this project. The theory of this thesis was based on the triangulation method which includes a qualitative method, quantitative method, and lean model. Delphi method was used to get the accurate result. In soilless farming and automated system it was referred to different sources including Dr James Rakocy from University of the Virgin Islands (UVI). A complete model of an aquaponics farm was designed. The combination of automated aquaculture and soilless farming with the measurement of water parameters completes this system. For the process automation, the use of robotic arm and motors for different purpose like lifting, picking, and monitoring has helped the automated system. The design of the project is workings perfectly yet, there is some part in the system where improvement can be done. The robotic track can be extended so that the robotic arm can cover the fish tank for fish harvesting. The water parameter can be controlled by the use of robot.
