Background and objectives of activities
The fisheries industry is often based in areas far from urban areas or on islands, and the shortage of labor due to population decline and aging is becoming more serious and its solution is an urgent issue. smart auction that automates and saves labor in marine product trading operations at fish markets in production areas by functionally combining IoT (Internet of Things) technology. The objective of the project is to develop a system.
Summary of Activities
A system is being developed for the automatic transmission of digital data on landings (fisherman's name, species, weight, picture, size, etc.) and the conduct of auctions on the Internet. To test the labor-saving effects of automating tasks that were previously handwritten on vouchers or manually entered into computers, the company is working with fishing cooperatives in Kagoshima Prefecture.
Expected Benefits
The digitization of landings information in local fish markets will establish reliable traceability and ensure food safety, and strengthen the industrial competitiveness of local economies. Combining information on seawater temperature, currents, and other ocean conditions with information on landings will lead to highly accurate fishing ground forecasting technology. This will be developed into technological innovations to realize the next generation of smart fisheries that can respond to climate change.
