Tech collaboration 'will bring precision and profitability to Brazilian shrimp farmers'
Singapore-based aquaculture analytics and financial technology company Shrimpl has announced a strategic partnership with Brazilian aquaculture equipment maker Trevisan.
Shrimpl said the collaboration combines Trevisan’s robust ground-level presence and Internet of Things-enabled hardware with Shrimpl’s operating, analytics, and risk management platform.
The companies say they aim to bring precision, predictability, and profitability to Brazilian shrimp and fish farms through the integration of real-time data from IoT and high resolution satellite imagery.
Trevisan’s equipment, including aerators, feeders, and water quality monitoring devices, now becomes a gateway to Shrimpl’s cloud-based farm analytics system.
Integrated intelligence
Shrimpl said producers will gain instant access to integrated aquaculture intelligence, digitised farm and pond profiles via satellite imaging and proprietary AI (Shrimpl SatEye), and automated, real-time environmental monitoring from Trevisan’s smart sensors and Shrimpl’s carbon footprint management tools, allowing for quantifiable carbon base line improvements.
They will also get scenario modelling tools for biomass forecasting, input planning, carbon footprint reduction and cost optimisation, and a Shrimpl Resiliency Score, enabling farms to benchmark climate and biosecurity risks.
Addressing challenges
Shrimpl said the partnership directly addresses challenges of volatile yields, biosecurity risks, and limited access to financial services by fusing science-backed management and risk analysis with on-farm data automation.
This will enable data-driven financial predictability for farm operators and financiers, de-risked lending and insurance mechanisms using ground-verified insights, and improved margins through early warning alerts and decision support.
“We are building a digital aquaculture ecosystem that connects people and businesses through scientific, evidence-backed analytics - enabling smarter decisions with less risk,” Shrimpl chief executive Ciaron McKinley said in a press release.
Trevisan chief executive Marcelo Trevisan said that by integrating its smart farm hardware with Shrimpl’s predictive analytics, the company is equipping producers with the tools they need to thrive in a data-driven world.
