What is Smart Aquaculture?

Smart aquaculture refers to the construction of optimal growth algorithms for cultured aquatic products, aimed at efficient and environmentally friendly production. This involves automating and intelligentizing the entire production-processing-sales industry system of cultured aquatic products using technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Data collected from aquaculture facilities is utilized for the analysis and prediction of the aquaculture environment, enabling not only stable production of fish but also planned production tailored to market demand.

Barriers and Solutions

for the Transformation of the Digital Environment of Aquaculture Workers

As the smart aquaculture industry experiences rapid growth, traditional aquaculture practitioners are gradually transitioning their business operations into the digital realm. However, many domestic aquaculture professionals are facing difficulties in adapting and learning in the digital environment. In response to the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has devised a new program aimed at lowering the initial barriers to entry for the smart aquaculture industry, facilitating a smoother transition for practitioners

Problem

It is difficult for actual aquaculture workers,

not technical researchers, to learn smart aquaculture programs.

In-Depth Interview

Is it smooth to look at the simulation data and control the actual farm?

I'm used to seeing simulation data, but it's still too difficult to operate in accordance with the simulation results.

Is the current simulation only showing the results and is the operation manual for the results?

Some parts are automatically controlled, but it is very difficult to respond immediately when manual control is needed in the middle. Most of the controls are made up of text, so it is difficult to know which button to press to control immediately.

About

Taejun saw the vision of a smart farm using digital twin technology brightly and started a halibut smart farm business after returning home. He is interested in learning new technologies, but he is not familiar with the digital environment, so it takes time to learn the overall digital system of a smart farm. In addition, it has not been long since he started the aquaculture industry, so he has difficulty analyzing professional data.

it has not been long since he started the aquaculture industry, so he has difficulty analyzing professional data.

Goal

He wants to learn the smart farm system with digital twin technology faster and apply it to the business.
He wants to use smart technology to efficiently monitor and control and continue his business according to accurately predicted data.

Pain Point

He has a hard time with a lot of text due to old age.
He takes a long time to learn the digital environment.
He lacks professional farm data analysis.
He finds it difficult to recognize the problem immediately and control it immediately.
