In the ever-evolving world of technology, data plays a pivotal role in driving innovation and improving processes across various industries. However, it's not just about the sheer volume of data; the key lies in extracting meaningful and actionable insights from it. One industry that has experienced challenges in utilizing data effectively is the shrimp farming sector. Many attempts have been made to leverage technology for farm management, but success has been limited due to the lack of real-time and meaningful data. Enter TOMOTA, a game-changing solution that is revolutionizing the shrimp industry from hatcheries to farming with its advanced image processing technology.

Unlocking the Power of Meaningful Data

“The key is better data, not bigger data” - Artificial intelligence engineer Andrew Ng, Co-Founder of Google Brain and former chief scientist of Baidu - “Google of China” says. He is one of the most influential people in the field of AI to improve machines and manufacturing jobs into smarter and more efficient operations.

Traditional approaches in shrimp farming often involved manual data entry, which proved cumbersome and error-prone. Farmers were reluctant to invest time and effort into inputting data, and the resulting information was often inaccurate or incomplete. Recognizing these challenges, TOMOTA focused on leveraging image processing technology to provide real-time and accurate data that would drive meaningful insights and decision-making.

TOMOTA S3: Redefining Shrimp Counting and Sizing

One of the remarkable offerings by TOMOTA is the TOMOTA S3 technology, which has transformed the way shrimp post larvae are counted. With just 10 seconds of filming, TOMOTA S3 can from 95% accurately count shrimp post larvae up to a staggering 4,000 pieces. This capability not only saves significant time and effort for farmers but also ensures accurate and reliable data for monitoring shrimp populations and stocking density. TOMOTA S3 can also easily measure shrimp size, length and weight distribution for shrimp with length more than 1.5 cm (normally after stocking several days). The ability to obtain precise counts and sizing promptly empowers farmers to make informed decisions about feeding, harvesting, and overall farm management.

TOMOTA A3: Enhancing Water Quality Management

In addition to shrimp counting and sizing, TOMOTA has also developed the TOMOTA A3 solution to address water quality management—a critical factor in shrimp farming success. Through image processing technology, TOMOTA A3 can assess four vital water parameters: pH, alkalinity, TAN (total ammonia nitrogen), and nitrite. By capturing data on these parameters, farmers can optimize their water quality management practices, prevent adverse effects on shrimp health, and maintain an ideal environment for growth.

The TOMOTA Advantage: Better Data for Better Outcomes

Doctor and engineer Andrew Ng has become an evangelist for what he calls “data-centric A.I”. And he says that “the shift to data-centric A.I” is the most important shift businesses need to make today to take full advantage of A.I for production.

The significance of TOMOTA's approach lies in its focus on better data, not just bigger data. By leveraging advanced image processing technology, TOMOTA ensures that the data generated is accurate, real-time, and meaningful. This translates into more effective farm management practices, increased productivity, and enhanced profitability for shrimp farmers. With TOMOTA, farmers can make data-driven decisions, optimize their operations, and achieve sustainable growth in the highly competitive shrimp industry.

Conclusion

In a world where data is often viewed as the new currency, TOMOTA stands out as a pioneer in the shrimp industry, revolutionizing the way data is collected and utilized. By prioritizing better data over bigger data, TOMOTA's innovative solutions empower shrimp farmers and breeders with accurate, real-time information. The TOMOTA S3 technology revolutionizes shrimp counting, while the TOMOTA A3 solution enhances water quality management. Together, these advancements drive efficiency, productivity, and sustainability, paving the way for a brighter future in the shrimp industry.
