THE SELECTED CHALLENGES
SPAIN CHALLENGE: DIGITALS TOOLS COMBINED WITH UNNAMED GROUND VEHICLES (UGV’S) FOR THE GREAT CORMORANTS MANAGEMENT
The main goal is to develop and test a non-lethal system to avoid predation in aquaculture systems based on earthen ponds. Unnamed Ground Vehicles (UGV’s) that incorporate diverse tools (green laser, ultrasound, etc) detect and act to chase away great cormorants though a specific software is required.
PORTUGAL CHALLENGE: SMARTSWIMS: DRIVING THE DIGITAL AND GREEN TRANSFORMATION IN AQUAPONICS WASTE ANDRESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Our challenge is to implement and demonstrate a smart, automated version of SWIMS (Solid Waste Integrated Management System) for aquaponics systems, enhancing sustainability, productivity, and efficiency in the Blue Bioeconomy sector. This pilot will integrate digital sensors, automation, and AI-driven waste management technologies to optimize aquaponics waste management processes and resource efficiency.
Additionally, a cloud-based dashboard and mobile application will enable real-time monitoring, automated adjustments, and remote system management, ensuring optimal operation with minimal human intervention.
FRANCE CHALLENGE: IMPLEMENTATION OF IA FOR SELF-OPTIMIZATION OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT WITH MICROALGAE
This challenge aims to develop an advanced algorithm for real-time data analysis for microalgae-based wastewater treatment. This algorithm will enable automated monitoring and optimization of key culture parameters (temperature, pH, aeration, effluent flow rate, and light intensity).
This approach enhances process efficiency, reduces operational costs, and minimizes human intervention, fostering a more technologically advanced and data-centric approach in the sector. The use of digital tools will also facilitate knowledge transfer, enabling stakeholders to leverage predictive analytics for improved water treatment performance.
IRELAND CHALLENGE: I-FISH: INTERACTIVE FISH
IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
Currently, in the field of protection, sustainable management and conservation of endangered marine living resources fish species, there is a lack of a user-friendly and customised digital tool that embeds Artificial Intelligence (AI) to collect, process and identify real life data of fish species, such a tool would be particularly beneficial in the management of endangered, threatened and prohibited species.
Such a digital tool/platform could improve the digitalisation progress in the not-for-profit enterprises and organisations but also in the marine industry and fisheries sectors. This would allow for faster corrective action as regards the species that has been encountered, this would facilitate not just the enhanced survival of the species but also aid the compliance of the fisheries to current legislation.
