Concept Video
This video illustrates the AIMTAS development roadmap across three automation stages:
Stage 1
Semi-Automation
Workers operate the farm daily for essential tasks. Than Nong AI assists with recurring operations and continuous monitoring.
Stage 2
Near-Full Automation
Minimal on-site presence — workers visit only for harvesting, periodic inspections, and maintenance. Than Nong AI takes deeper control of management tasks with autonomous decision-making capabilities.
Stage 3
Fully Autonomous Robotics
Robots replace on-site workers entirely. Humans serve as remote technicians managing smart farms from a centralized hub. Than Nong AI orchestrates end-to-end operations in direct coordination with robotic systems.
What is AIMTAS?
AIMTAS (Autonomous Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture System) is an advanced closed-loop production system seamlessly integrating:
- Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) technology
- Aquaponics (NFT hydroponic vegetable cultivation)
- Algae cultivation (Spirulina raceway)
- Solar-powered energy system (150kW)
- AI-driven monitoring & autonomous control (Than Nong AI Platform)
- Full W3C Web of Things (WoT) 1.1 support
The system achieves 90% water recycling, produces 85,000 kg fish, 24,000 kg vegetables, and 6,000 kg Spirulina annually with minimal human intervention.
🔌 Device integration via W3C WoT Thing Description 1.1
AIMTAS is built on Web of Things (WoT) 1.1 — the official open standard from W3C for IoT devices. Put simply: your equipment does not have to come from us to work with AIMTAS.
What that means for your business:
- Keep the equipment you already own. Pumps, blowers, feeders, water-quality sensors — if they support WoT 1.1 they can join AIMTAS directly, with no need to replace a working installation.
- No vendor lock-in. Choose hardware on price and quality instead of being tied to one supplier's bundle. Equipment from different manufacturers runs side by side on the same farm.
- Far lower integration cost and lead time. Because devices describe their own capabilities in a standard way, we do not write bespoke software per model. Adding a new class of device carries almost no development cost.
- A long-term investment that holds its value. WoT is an open W3C standard owned by no single company, so your system does not depend on one supplier's product lifecycle or pricing decisions.
We are looking to work with:
- Device manufacturers who want their products to run on a smart-agriculture platform without building a separate integration for every partner.
- System integrators who need a hardware-neutral platform to deploy across many customers with many different device types.
- Farms and production facilities that have already invested in equipment and want to add monitoring, automation and AI without discarding what already works.
Technically the integration is straightforward: the device publishes a standard description (a Thing Description) listing the values it measures and the operations it can perform; AIMTAS reads that description and builds the matching monitoring, control and alerting automatically.

Implementation status: the WoT 1.1 interface contract is fully specified in the system design; the implementation is being completed alongside the PoC phase. If you are interested in partnering or would like to trial a device integration, please get in touch.
