International aquaculture consultancy and farmer Blue Aqua International will partner with SAS and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to develop a smart aquaculture solution to boost local production of fish and shrimp in the Asia region including Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and India.
The partnership will create a collaborative ecosystem to support the local aquaculture industry in the region through the development of a smart aquaculture solution for farmers. The AI-driven solution will include a mobile app that is powered by the SAS Viya platform. This will enable farmers to gain insights on critical parameters in aquaculture such as water quality, feed management and animal health through real-time data analytics technology.
The application is specifically designed for farmers in Asia, taking into consideration common species grown, farm infrastructure, weather and insights on common disease challenges in the region.
Farmers will also be able to receive alerts on the app informing them of any potential issues and the appropriate remedies needed. The constant collection of data can also help generate dashboards to provide users with analytical insights on the quality of their farms.
“The solution will help in monitoring the culture environment and provide the insights that will support our productivity and yield goals for our smart aquaculture farms. With our extensive network and expertise, we are also able to bring this solution to the aquaculture sector in the Asia region,” said Dr Farshad Shishehchian, Group President, CEO & Founder, Blue Aqua International.
“We aim to help farmers draw insights from data to help boost product quality, drive efficiency, lower costs, and increase capacity while maintaining a commitment to sustainable high-quality farming,” said Kong Hoe Chan, MD, HPE Singapore.
