R3-IoT, who offer satellite communications technology coupled with data services, are overseeing the launch of their Connected Seafarm solution this year at Aquaculture UK, to resolve the challenges facing the digitisation of aquaculture operations and sites. Aquaculture UK is a leading exhibition for the aquaculture industry and is currently exhibiting at Aviemore, Scotland, from May 3-5.
Connected Seafarm is an end-to-end data services solution, offering sensors to an insight platform which connects smart devices located globally. It has also been designed to be easily and quickly deployed, offering the operator ease of installation.
With remote connectivity facing challenges today, Connected Seafarm seeks to resolve that as it has been designed to work on or off-the-grid and with no dependency on a single communications infrastructure. It utilises built in cellular and satellite technology which teams are able to access 24/7 regardless of their infrastructure.

Environmental data and operational data are collected and transmitted securely via the cloud, to in-house systems or the company's insights platform, which is displayed in an easy to understand and accessible format. Data such as graphs and charts can be accessed on an array of devices, including desktop and mobile, enabling fish farmers to access key information across sites.
This means that both local and central teams are able to make informed decisions based off of the data they receive, and are able to monitor environmental factors such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, as well as risks such as harmful algae bloom to improve productivity within the sector whilst ensuring sustainability.
Co-founder and CTO of R3-IoT, Kevin Quillien, explains the importance of data services such as Connected Seafarm, "Better connectivity, better data and better digital capability will be crucial to future operations across the sector. The Connected Seafarm removes a major roadblock to reaching that goal."
