Transforming oyster farming with IoT
The success of Tasmania’s oyster industry is predicated on the quality of the water that the state’s oyster farms occupy, and thanks to The Yield, the farmers and regulators now have an IoT solution that gives them the ability to predict water conditions and take action.
Using a series of in-water sensor platforms that measure multiple variables such as water salinity, temperature, and water depth, the data collected is then fed into a Microsoft Azure cloud platform that provides past, current, and predicted future water metrics data for oyster farmers, government and regulatory bodies.
The Yield worked closely with Bosch, Microsoft and Intel to build the aquaculture platform, and has recently obtained significant funding to further develop this platform and expand to the agriculture market with a land-based solution. Read more…
