Scalable AI & Vision Systems for Modern Aquaculture

Zero-maintenance pellet detection, appetite prediction and reliable infrastructure – designed for land-based RAS and sea-based production.

What We Deliver

End-to-end feed optimization – from pellet detection to direct feed control integration.

Pellet Detection

Real-time pellet detection in return water and in-tank environments. Models tuned for turbidity, bubbles and dynamic lighting – delivering accurate counts regardless of conditions. The signal feeds directly into appetite models and control systems.

Appetite Prediction

Short-horizon appetite models built on pellet signal, feeding history and tank context. Operators and control systems get actionable recommendations – when to increase, maintain or reduce feeding – updated continuously throughout the production cycle.

Infrastructure

Edge-first AI deployed on-site with remote monitoring, automated model rollouts and standard APIs. Integrates with existing feeding and control systems via OPC-UA, MQTT and REST – no cloud dependency required.

Feed Control Integration

Direct signal output to SCADA and feeding systems – not just dashboards. Detection and appetite data close the loop, enabling automated or semi-automated feed adjustments in real time.

Vision & Mission

Built around operational reality: noisy water, demanding environments and limited time.

Vision

Make advanced aquaculture AI feel simple, reliable and transparent – so operators and systems can trust and act on the signals. Every farm should have access to real-time feed intelligence, regardless of scale or technical resources.

Mission

Deliver pellet and appetite insight that directly improves feeding strategies, fish welfare and production stability across sites. We build solutions that work in the field – not just in the lab – and integrate with the systems operators already use.

Approach

We work directly with farmers and integrators to understand real operational challenges. Every feature is validated in production environments before release, and our subscription model ensures continuous improvement without additional cost.

Our Product

A non-contact optical system for return water that uses advanced optics to detect and track individual pellets and waste particles – without touching the water. A tested, working solution with direct feed control integration. Install it once and it just works, with no cleaning or maintenance required.

Data Quality

  • Improved Optical and Light Configuration
  • Advanced Filter Systems
  • Custom pre-processing
  • High Quality Optics

Accuracy

  • Both Pellet & Waste Identification
  • Custom Tracking of individual objects
  • Voting system to improve accuracy
