Blue Lab

New Zealand

A New Zealand based company that makes system integrated measurement devices. They are known to have products that suit Aquaponics, hence speaks of their understanding of Aquaponic system requirements and parameters. The company does carry a line of standalone measurement devices and automated data logging tools. However, Bluelab finds its limitations in logging important parameters crucial to Aquaponic health.

Seneye

USA

A basic data collection instrument that comes with mobile integration. Tending to be more fancy in UX than actual data acquisition dependability for the Aquaponic environment. On the bright side however, Seneye modules come with the added advantage of cloud logging and a dashboard to manage/view real time trend of the measurements. Although, the sensors are prone to constant care requirement and calibration. Error margins are a source for concern in the current version. However, Seneye continues to be on our watch list as it is the eventual destination of data monitoring for commercial Aquaponic systems.
