BioSort iFarm
BioSort iFarm is a system in development that will monitor the health, lice and growth for each fish in a pen. Individual fish can be removed, for example infection carriers or lice collectors. Only fish with needs will be treated, enabling a shift from group-based operations to Individualized care.
Biometrics
Fish ID – identification of each individual fish
Health Record
Tracks health development for each fish
Lice
Sea lice detection on the entire fish
Biomass
Tracks growth development or weigh loss
Extraction
Removes individual fish, e.g. infection carriers
Data Analysis
Population analysis and feed optimization
About Us
Our mission is to create sensor-based solutions for optimization of fish resources. We want to replace manual inspection and sampling by automated processes and monitoring derived from modern production processes. Our solutions will manage fish on an individual level, creating value and increased sustainability through increased fish welfare and higher production yields.
Experience
The founders of BioSort have a collective experience of over 40 years of product development and technology management from Tomra Systems ASA. The team being build will consist of highly skilled software, computer vison, optics, robotics and mechanical design specialists.
Technology
Machine vision and mechatronics design integrated in challenging environments, is the core competence of BioSort. Our solutions will span from embedded AI edge systems and robotic sorting mechanisms, to cloud-based solutions and big data analysis.
History
BioSort was founded in 2010 based on the idea of using machine vision and sorting to separate escaped farmed salmon and wild salmon. In 2015 BioSort refocused its effort towards fish farming and started concept development of iFarm.
Founded BioSort in 2010 after many years as product developer, project manager and business developer in Tomra. He also co-founded Integra International AS, which delivers assistive technology solutions. Holds a M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from NTNU.
Worked within product development, sales, service and management in Tomra, e.g. towards the seafood and meat industry. He has also headed global service for Tomra Sorting Solutions. Holds an M.Sc. Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics from University of Washington.
Founded BioSort in 2010 after twenty years of experience in product development and technology management in Tomra, e.g. CTO of Tomra North America when Tomra established activities in the USA. Holds a M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from University of Wyoming.
Holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), with specialization within Computer Vision. He has also worked with human pose estimation and video analysis for contact-less patient monitoring at Philips Medical Systems.
Holds an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from NTNU with specialization within marine machinery, as well as added studies in Cybernetics. He har previously worked three years at Kongsberg Automotive with design of gearboxes and actuators.
