Good fish, bad fish? 

Using Maritech Eye™, you can now automate the quality assessment of your salmon or white fish – with an objective eye, at industrial speed. 

Quality inspection, reinvented

Earn more, strengthen your brand and get a greener seafood production.

By automating your quality assessment, documentation and sorting, you can use your resources in a more cost-efficient way and improve your margins. Quality scanning will enable you to allocate premium quality for price premium products, while the rest of the fish can be used optimally in other product segments – improving your production planning through fact-based decisions. And as Maritech Eye™ can scan your fish in industrial speed, you can significantly reduce or reprioritize manual tasks and get a more efficient production line.

Being able to document your quality is also great news for your brand and competitive advantage. Objectivity is essential, you can prove that what you have to offer is actually as great as you say it is, and you can make it a part of your storytelling. This may also give you access to new markets, and allows you to reduce claims from your customers.

And – as Maritech Eyescans the fish early in the production process, you will also get a more sustainable production due to reduced waste and improved resource productivity.

Beyond the human eye

With higher precision and far higher speed than a person, Maritech Eye™ can see the quality inside your fish.

For the first time ever you can now run automated quality analysis of your red or white fish at industrial speed, scanning through the fish, beyond the surface. This is possible thanks to hyperspectral camera technology, 17 years of scientific research and complex algorithms.

Maritech Eye™ gives each fish a unique quality score and ID based on given criteria, documenting the objective quality assessment. The information is sent to the grader as well as to our LINSiGHT IoT platform for storage and visualization.

A game-changer

In November 2020, we launched Maritech Eye™ for white fish, in close cooperation with our innovation partners Nofima, NEO/HySpex, Lerøy Norway Seafoods, and Lerøy Havfisk. At Aqua Nor 2021, Maritech Eye™ for salmon was presented for the global market.

The solution is the only one of its kind in the world; seeing through the skin of white fish and analyzing + documenting blood spots in salmon and trout fillets. And – enabling the grader to sort in industrial speed, while documenting the quality of each unique fish.

“Could this be the biggest innovation in the fishery industry?” wrote former Norwegian Minister of Fishery and Seafood, Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen prior to our launch.

Whether it is the biggest or not – it is a game-changer.

Mowi Consumer Products UK chose Maritech  Eye

In December 2021, we shared the news that Mowi Consumer Products UK has implemented Maritech Eye™ to further enhance the quality assessment of their Mowi brand smoked salmon.

“For our business here in the UK and in particular the Mowi brand, this gives us the ability to pre-select fillets based on a specification to reduce the manual intervention of removing blemishes once the fillets have been sliced. Furthermore, sorting by quality and providing objective information gives us the ability to allocate the material accordingly and allows us to utilise our resources more efficiently and effectively” says Gary Paterson, Head of Operations, Mowi CP UK.
