UMITRON K. K.
R&D Cost of Decarbonization-Promoting Product Development and Scaled Production in the Aquaculture Industry

Program name

Deep-Tech Startups Support Program in the Green Transformation field

Business Plan

Utilizing Umitron’s proprietary AI and IoT technology, a large-scale, systematic research and manufacturing platform shall be developed. By minimizing the risks associated with high initial equipment costs, limited species applicability, and production scalability in the commercialization and social implementation, a decarbonized and sustainable aquaculture industry will be realized.

Research Outline

In this R&D effort, a cost-reduced smart feeder CELL4.0 will be developed by improving the existing UMITRON CELL3.0, to resolve issues by implementing greater versatility in device size and fish species compatibility, which is different from the conventional existing products.

The following PoCs will be attained to realize the establishment of a scalable decarbonization model in aquaculture:

1. Experiment of prototyping CELL4.0 and conducting environmental durability tests using FRP enclosures and standardized internal components.
2. Evaluation of feeding performance and adaptability of CELL LARGE and CELL MINI to support diverse fish sizes and species.
3. Proof of personalized AI feeding optimization adapted to regional environments and fish types, and quantification of decarbonization effects in real-world conditions.
