Smartconfig: Online Feeding System Configurator
In modern aquaculture, efficiency, precision, and control are key to maximizing performance. However, before moving into automation, it is important to understand how feeding works in a fish farm.
How feeding is defined in a fish farm?
In any aquaculture facility—regardless of species—feeding is defined by a set of core parameters: number of tanks, pellet sizes, feeding schedules, and minimum and maximum daily feed quantities per tank. These quantities are distributed across multiple feeding doses throughout the day. Together, these variables form what we call the feeding requirements.
The first step toward automation is replacing repetitive manual tasks. Traditionally, operators are responsible for selecting the appropriate pellet type, calculating feed quantities, and distributing feed across tanks in scheduled doses. This process is time-consuming and highly dependent on human accuracy.
Transitioning from manual to automated feeding systems does not change these parameters—it transforms how they are managed. As explained in our approach to centralized feeding system design, the same feeding requirements are used, but automation enables precise, consistent, and optimized execution.
To simplify this transition, Fish Farm Feeder has developed SMARTCONFIG, an advanced online configurator available at SMARTCONFIG.
SMARTCONFIG
SMARTCONFIG allows fish farm operators, engineers, and project managers to dimension a fully automated feeding system based on their existing manual feeding parameters.
The tool is valid for any stage of farmed fish.
Through an intuitive step-by-step interface, users can define key inputs such as:
- Number and type of tanks
- Species and feeding strategies
- Pellet sizes and feed types
- Feeding frequencies and schedules
- Daily feed distribution per tank
Who is SMARTCONFIG for?
SMARTCONFIG is designed for a wide range of professionals within the aquaculture industry. It is especially useful for fish farm owners looking to improve operational efficiency, production managers aiming to optimize feeding strategies, engineers and technical consultants involved in farm design, and investors or project developers evaluating new aquaculture facilities.
Whether upgrading an existing farm or planning a new installation, SMARTCONFIG provides a clear, structured way to define requirements and move confidently toward automation.
Why to use SMARTCONFIG?
Once the configuration is completed and submitted, the FishFarmFeeder team receives all the necessary data to design a tailor-made feeding solution. Each proposal is engineered to optimize feed distribution, reduce waste, improve fish growth, and minimize operational workload.
With SMARTCONFIG, moving toward automation becomes a data-driven, efficient, and straightforward process, ensuring that every aquaculture project benefits from a system designed specifically for its operational needs.
The tool is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
