FISH FARMING TECHNOLOGY
New AI feeding assistant from AKVA and Observe
“The AKVA Observe software solution is easily integrated with existing hardware on the site”
by AKVA Group, Norway AKVA group and Observe technologies have partnered to bring a new, intelligent feeding assistant with pellet recognition to the market. AKVA and Observe are committed to giving farmers actionable insights to optimise their largest site cost, namely feeding. The result is a new software solution that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse in real time the onsite data and video streams on the site. The software not only counts visible pellets, but also completes a detailed analysis of the fish behavior that when used together identify risk situations and assist the operator in the optimisation of the feeding.
The Observe software uses machine vision to count pellets and determine the fish activity in the pen. The results are combined with sensor and external data to reveal contexts and provide the most complete picture of each pen’s feeding behavior
