How The Kingfish Company Scales Operations with Maritech Cloud

Optimizing Seafood Processing with Digital Solutions

The Kingfish Company is a pioneer in sustainable land-based aquaculture, specializing in the production of high-quality yellowtail kingfish. Their dedication to sustainability and innovation ensures premium seafood with minimal environmental impact.

Through several projects, we have built a strong partnership with The Kingfish Company, working closely together to enhance their operations. Their journey with Maritech began in 2022, when they implemented Purchase & Sales, Maritech Packing, EasyGrade, and EasyPack. Now, in 2024, they have successfully launched their own processing facility powered by Maritech Control & Insight (Linsight MES), a major project integrating all factory equipment with Maritech Purchase & Sales and Maritech Packing, ensuring a fully connected and optimized production environment.

How The Kingfish Company uses Maritech Cloud

As The Kingfish Company scaled its business, they needed a fully integrated and scalable solution to optimize workflows and manage real-time data. With Maritech Purchase & Sales, Packing and Control & Insight, they have streamlined operations, ensuring seamless integration and improved efficiency.

“Now, we have optimized our workflow, as the Maritech software is fully integrated and absorbs the side-stream of information. We are very satisfied with both the result and the implementation project,” said Cees-Jan Bastiaansen, former Head of Quality & Sustainability, shortly after go-live.

A structured project management approach was key to success. “We worked closely together in sprints, had a clear specification, and both parties committed to investing time and energy in the project. We received the right help at the right time during the implementation phase, which was very well received by our team.”

“On a daily basis, my colleagues and I use Purchase & Sales a lot—it’s a system that is on our desktop all day long. I can run reports, see how much I need, and what I need. Based on that, I create a harvest plan for processing and also for harvesting for the production team.”  

Petra, Head of Supply and Customer Relations.

Optimizing Seafood Processing with Linsight MES

The goal of our most recent project together, related to Control & Insight (LINSiGHT MES) production plant monitoring, was to provide a comprehensive overview of the facility and leverage decision support from Control & Insight in the planning and control of daily production.

“The project started by leveraging our previous facility with Maritech, determining the scope of this new project—how many hours we were going to spend, what we wanted to get out of it, and what we could afford. We had to engage with multiple suppliers, as we have various suppliers providing equipment to this plant, including cooling facilities, HVAC, grading, and more. All these needed to be integrated into one single platform—which Maritech supplied with Maritech Control & Insight (Linsight).” Christiaan de Wet, Head of Design and Engineering.

Improved Efficiency Through Seamless Integration

Control & Insight now uses sales orders received in Purchase & Sales as a basis to daily provide production suggestions. These suggestions include identifying the most suitable production tanks for harvesting fish for the day’s production. All the information gathered by the Control & Insight platform from the production process is presented in real-time reports within the factory and is accessible to the management.

“The engagement between Maritech and all the other suppliers was great. There was strong communication, and not always through us at Kingfish. We didn’t need to push them to have these discussions; they happened organically, often without our direct involvement—but always with the right targets in mind.”

“Now, we have everything under one roof. We can even check the system and place orders from home, directly from our phones. If there’s a problem, we have access anywhere, anytime. It’s really nice to have everything in one system.” Martin Sinaac, Operations Manager.

With Maritech’s integrated solutions, The Kingfish Company has streamlined operations, improved efficiency, and enhanced decision-making, supporting their mission of sustainable, high-quality seafood production.

We are eagerly looking forward to continuing our further collaboration, as we explore new ways of digitalizing and innovating the seafood industry.

 

The adoption of Maritech Cloud has allowed The Kingfish Company to:

✔ Automate workflows for more efficient seafood processing

✔ Centralize data for better decision-making and reporting

✔ Enhance traceability by integrating real-time production monitoring
