Utilising Technology to Improve Sustainability
Facilitating Transformation at Tassal Operations
Tassal Operations was seeking a way to feed fish more efficiently , reduce waste , keep staff safe and produce overall better business results . In partnership with Intuit Technologies , they began the journey to create a centralised feed centre and become one of the first companies in the world to fully embrace a remote feeding strategy . With little to no infrastructure in place and the inaccessible and remote nature of Tasmania ’ s landscape , this project required an innovative plan . The conditions were challenging as the team had to work in the open ocean waters up to 20 kms offshore in large seas while facing wind and snow .
Partnering for Success
Intuit Technologies worked with their partners to build a high-speed fibre optic and wireless network capable of the throughput required .
By partnering with key partner Jettech Networks , Intuit Technologies built a data network capable of transmitting up to 10Gb of high definition video data for almost 300 remote pan and zoom cameras . Working with BATS Wireless , the fish pens were equipped with gyroscopically stabilised wireless connections to the shore which utilises microwave technology to transmit the data back to the feeding centre located in Hobart , Tasmania . The feed centre control room is powered by nearly 70 Dell EMC servers rendering live footage on 121 ultrahigh definition displays .
The outcome is a feeding system that is safer for employees and improves overall operationally efficiency and feed conversion – which is better for the fish and better for our environment !
“ To provide the complex IT infrastructure required for our centralised feeding project , we knew we could trust Intuit Technologies to deliver .”
