Scottish aquaculture looking to enhance operations via connected tech

A new digital platform that will collect and interpret fish farm data in Scotland to provide actionable insights for the industry is being developed following the award of a GBP 250,000 (USD 347,229, EUR 289,500) to a consortium of research partners.
Led by Glasgow-based satellite communications start-up R3-IoT, the project will involve the group developing a software system that automatically captures large amounts of continuous sensor data across aquaculture sites in one place, where it can be processed, stored, and acted upon.
The platform will be developed in parallel with R3-IoT’s satellite communications solution.
Led by R3-IoT, the Glasgow-based satellite communications start-up, the group will develop a software system that automatically captures large volumes of continuous sensor data across aquaculture sites securely in one place, where it can be processed, stored, and actioned. The digital platform will be developed in parallel with R3-IoT’s satellite communications solution, which brings seamless connectivity to remote and rural areas – enabling organisations to fully digitise their business operations across multiple sites and locations.
The project is funded by the Seafood Innovation Fund, with support from the Sustainable Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC); Northern Light, the aquaculture consultancy; The Data Lab, Scotland’s innovation centre for data science and AI; CENSIS, Scotland’s innovation centre for sensing, imaging systems, and Internet of Things technologies; Edinburgh Napier University; the University of Stirling’s Institute of Aquaculture; and the Scottish Sa
