Walking towards an EASYFISH 4.0

In the fishing industry we handle a large amount of data every day: prices, freights, catches, tariffs, glazing, currency exchange rates. And all of this can be multiplied by the origins and markets in which you import and export. The management of all this information is very important because it directly influences strategic decision-making, and, consequently, it will set the course of your company and indirectly that of your customers.

• The first tool developed allows us to know if we are buying the product under the best terms. From our purchase history, it determines the prices of the pure raw material at all times, extracting all the variables involved such as customer specifications, freight costs, glazing, etc.
• It is from the information extracted that we are able to estimate a price trend for the following months. This way, we can make a very accurate purchase forecast and, at the same time, we advise our clients on the price fluctuation that is about to come.
• Finally, another tool that has been adapted to EASYFISH is capable of determining the quality of a batch based on a sample of photos. This draws on the myriad of graphical tests from previous inspections and, through an algorithm, is able to identify for instance Tilapia fillets that are well based on color and trim.

In addition, the algorithms developed improve on their own as they are nurtured with more and more information.

In other words, the team has created ‘machine learning’, tools that can learn by themselves.
