The following is an excerpt from an article published by Responsible Seafood Advocate:
With outbreaks threatening the industry, the Norwegian software and data analytics company launched a secure system to automatically alert farmers of nearby disease risks.
Manolin, a Norwegian software and data analytics company, has announced a new service. The company that builds disease detection models to fuel sustainability in aquaculture has developed a system that automatically alerts farmers to non-notifiable diseases in their area.
“We’re excited to let farmers instantly share critical disease information within a secure farmer-only network,” said Tony Chen, Manolin co-founder and CEO.
With this new service, farmers receive an email alert and a notification on their Manolin dashboard, which is accessible via desktop or mobile. Right now, the system notifies any farm within a 37 mile (60 kilometer) radius of an outbreak.
“When we have a suspected or confirmed mortality case, the system will immediately trigger a notification to all farmers without any sort of action needed,” said Chen. “The system is designed to be a signal for a farm to pay attention to their stock more, as the threat of disease is in the area. To protect our customers’ data privacy, we do not currently release the exact location of the outbreak.”
MANOLIN PREDICT know when fish are at risk. Manolin scans hundreds of millions of industry data points every 15 minutes, filling in the gaps in farm data and alerting farmers when something’s not right. Our machine learning models predict early onset of disease with 93% accuracy.(PD and ISA risk forecasting, Anomaly detection and Risk increase alerts)
It’s the first and only available system to notify farmers about the risk of nearby non-notifiable diseases, which are not currently tracked by Norway’s government regulators. The Norwegian government tracks pancreas disease (PD) and infectious salmon anaemia (ISA). But most other diseases are non-notifiable, meaning that the farm is not required to notify any regulatory agencies about an outbreak.(continues...)
