The prevailing market trend focuses on ensuring food safety and achieving sustainable food production through the advancement and widespread adoption of high-tech fish farming and vertical greens cultivation on a global scale.
These innovative farms utilize cutting-edge technologies to recreate optimal environmental conditions for growth while minimizing resource usage.
As both investor and manager of a pioneering land-based seawater fish farm, we have firsthand encountered the challenge of maintaining operational stability in dynamic biological systems.

A vital lesson learned is that small disruptions, often caused by avoidable human errors, can result in significant commercial risks and production loss, affecting profitability. This highlights the necessity of implementing effective measures to maintain operational stability in farming operations.
Our AI-powered system is tailored to aid farm teams in maximizing operational efficiency and productivity. By preempting irregularities and facilitating corrective actions, our solution enhances stability, productivity, and competitiveness.

Most Computer Vision startups lack farm worker-focused sophistication. This results in limited use cases, focussing on only one or few detection models.
Some known names in i.e. in the aquaculture field are: efishery, aqua manager, xpertsea, aqua byte, Eruvaka, Reel Data, Umitron, Jala and others.
