These requirements define the optimal environment for Bluegrove systems. If any of the requirements are not met the Bluegrove service will be impacted as described in Impact of infrastructure loss at the end of this page.

Physical requirements

0.0 Cage net depth

Nets that is at least 20m deep.

Power Requirements

1.1 Power at barge

...

In case of power source problems such as noise, spikes, brownouts and blackouts, an Online UPS system needs to be installed to accommodate continuous power stability and availability.

1.2 Power at cage

The CageEye system requires 60 W @ 230V 50hz outlet at the cage.
Estimated continuous power requirements for all sensor devices in cage: 60 W
Estimated maximum power consumption in the future, incl. UPS, camera, etc.: 500 W
Refer to suppliers technical datasheets for exact requirements.

In case of power source problems such as noise, spikes, brownouts and blackouts, an Online UPS system needs to be installed to accommodate continuous power stability and availability.

2. Network Requirements

...

2.1 Barge local network

Ethernet 802.3ab compatible connection available for all barge services.
Required network performance to provide optimal services:

...

• Upload bandwidth, uptime, latency, packet loss and jitter between devices on the barge network and the Feeding Operations Center.

Integration Requirements

The customer must to provide Bluegrove with an integration to his feeding system. Bluegrove maintains a this list of compatible feeding-systems with their compatibility status and known limitations.

3.1 Operational feeding system integration

3.1.1 High level feeding system requirements

Feeding system requirements version 0.0.6. This  This section defines general requirements for controlling a feeding system for sea-based and land based aquaculture.

...

• Maintain high uptime of its feeding processes.

• Safely enable interaction between applications while minimizing risk of service outages.

• Procure, replace or remove software from any vendor in a modular way.

• Maintain high data and operational security

• Get early warning about errors and the possibility of investigation through logging.

• Enable access on an individual level, and integrate with the company's userdirectory.

• Maintain robust local feeding operations with unreliable internet.

• Enable remote control of feeding operations at different sites with full functionality without the use of VPN.

• Enable control of feeding operations on one user interface, regardless of feeding system vendor.

• Enable frequent and high-resolution data collection from feeding operations.

• Safely control feeding operations remotely with no or unstable internet.

• Enable scale in the data collection by using good practices like “Report by exception/change” and avoiding polling.

Definitions

...

• Unit: The unit where feed is dispensed to the consumers. Example: Cage or tank used in aquaculture.

• Feeding system: The machinery/installation which executes the feeding. Feeding barge at sea. Example: Land based feeding installation.

• Feeding control system: The industrial control devices controlling the machinery in the feeding system. Example: The PLC controlling the feeding system. The server controlling the PLC.

• Feeding Line: The feeding system internal feeding line. in the control system. Feedlines can sometimes be routed to different pipes by "changers". Example: Feeding line inside a barge connected to a blower and one or more feed silos.

• Pipe The pipe or conveyor to transporting the feed from the feeding system to the place where it will be consumed. Example: The feed pipe from a barge to a cage.
