AKVA observe - a complete AI software solution that helps optimize the biggest cost on farms: the feeding process. 

AKVA observe is a state-of-the-art AI software solution developed to optimize the most significant cost factor in aquaculture: the feeding process. This solution is designed to enhance the efficiency of feeding operations by leveraging advanced AI, machine vision, and machine learning technologies. AKVA observe analyses real-time video from the cages and detects patterns in feeding, feed consumption and fish behaviour. This provides insights far beyond what is possible through manual observation.

Developed in collaboration with Observe Technologies, AKVA observe operates on the market’s leading AI platform, combining the latest innovations in data analysis and biological expertise to deliver exceptional results for fish farmers. By streamlining the feeding process, AKVA observe not only improves operational performance but also supports sustainable farming practices – a core part of AKVA group’s mission to advance a sustainable, safe and cost-efficient aquaculture industry.

Key features:

• No extra pen equipment
  The system integrates with existing camera infrastructure, eliminating the need for additional hardware installation in fish pens. 
• Smart alerts
  AI-driven smart alerts notify operators when feeding adjustments are needed, based on real-time analysis of fish behavior and pellet detection, preventing overfeeding and underfeeding. 
• Remote management
  Operators can manage and monitor feeding operations remotely, allowing them to make informed, data-driven decisions across multiple sites from any location. 
• Sustainability goals
  By improving feed conversion ratios (FCR) and reducing feed waste, AKVA observe contributes directly to the sustainability and profitability of fish farming operations

Benefits of AKVA observe

AKVA observe is designed to drive tangible improvements in feeding processes and overall farm performance, delivering measurable benefits to fish farming operations: 

• Lower feed conversion ratio (FCR)
  By accurately detecting pellet consumption and adjusting feed accordingly, AKVA observe ensures that feed is utilized efficiently, reducing waste and improving FCR. 
• Higher growth rates
  Optimized feeding leads to improved fish health and growth rates, maximizing farm productivity and profitability. 
• Standardization of feeding practices
  AKVA observe allows for more consistent feeding operations by automating decisions based on real-time data, helping standardize feeding across different operators and sites. 
• Enhanced decision-making for operators
  With AI-driven insights and objective reporting on overfeeding or underfeeding, operators can make more informed decisions, reducing the reliance on subjective human judgment. 
• Simultaneous feeding of multiple pens
  The solution enables the feeding of multiple pens simultaneously with greater accuracy, allowing operators to manage larger-scale operations more efficiently. 
• Objective reporting and incident management 
  AKVA observe provides comprehensive reports on feeding incidents, such as suspected overfeeding or underfeeding, offering valuable data for post-event analysis and training purposes. 
• Improved response times
  Operators can respond more quickly to changes in fish behavior or environmental conditions, making timely adjustments to feeding that improve overall farm performance. 
• Training and support
  The system aids in the training of new farm personnel by providing access to past feeding events and incidents, making it easier to educate and equip new employees with best practices. 

AKVA observe is a critical tool for aquaculture operations looking to optimise their feeding processes, improve fish welfare and achieve sustainability targets. The AI-powered insights generated by the system provide deep visibility into the feeding process, helping operators reduce waste, lower costs and monitor fish health.

By investing in AKVA observe, fish farmers will benefit from better decision-making, operational efficiencies, and long-term sustainability, all while maintaining the highest standards of fish welfare. As a result, AKVA observe supports not only the immediate financial goals of fish farmers but also the broader industry objectives of sustainability and operational excellence. 

AKVA group is committed to providing the best-in-class solutions for the aquaculture industry, and AKVA observe is a testament to this mission.
