Five questions to ask before connecting an aquaculture sensor

Connected sensors help fish farms spot problems early. But every new device is also something that can fail or be attacked.

Before adding another sensor to your farm, these five questions are worth a few minutes.

The five questions

• Who can change its settings, and how?
• Does it need the internet, or only the farm network?
• How will we know if it stops reporting?
• How are updates delivered?
• What do we do if it gives false readings?
