Umitron's solution to digitising the shrimp sector

Umitron, a technology company involved in building data platforms for aquaculture, has announced the launch of their product Umitron Eagle, an AI-based analytics solution for shrimp farming. The solution will be utilising AI detection to track biological conditions of shrimp in real time as well as taking into consideration other factors related to intensive production environments.

Production of shrimp centres around the Pacific white shrimp but faces many issues related to disease outbreaks, health management and poor environmental management procedures that lead to mass mortality and impact on the supply chain.

Addressing these issues through the adoption of technology on behalf of shrimp producers has been slow progress, stunting the growth of the sector and sustainable production. Current solutions in place revolve around remotely controlling feeding and monitoring environmental factors through sensors but are unable to analyse real-time conditions of the shrimp. Additionally, many farming environments have poor visibility.

This is where Umitron comes in, having spent some time towards developing a solution that will enable farmers to assess the conditions of their shrimp by using custom AI algorithms. The conditions being assessed include analysis, health and growth, and biomass. Umitron Eagle enables producers to optimise their feeding protocols, using data-informed decisions.

In doing so, the company will be facilitating the growth of shrimp production and the sustainability of production. Producers can expect to improve FCR, biosecurity measures, a reduction in feed waste and overall, optimised operations.
