206 service provider Intuit Technologies to introduce high-definition cameras in each pen , as well as install fibre optic and wireless networks around each farm . Additionally , to further support its feed centre and gain a greater understanding around fish behaviour , centralised feeding has also been introduced to all sites . Camera and video technology can now be viewed remotely , enabling the business to improve feed conversion rates , reduce waste , as well as access vital data around environmental conditions , such as water temperature , salinity levels and more , all in real-time .
“ There will be anything between 10 and 26 pens , and in each pen we have underwater cameras ,” says Leary . “ From a technology point of view , it was a challenge to get video traffic back with our outdated infrastructure , and in areas where there was not a lot of telecommunication , so we were effectively building our own high capacity network around all these farming operations . However , with these cameras , we can now observe fish behaviour , which is fairly critical in terms of maximising how we utilise that feed .”
“We’ re halfway through our cloud journey , but machine learning is a pretty big opportunity for us ”
