Mowi 4.0 Smart Farming

What's 4.0 Smart Farming?

In Farming, this includes the implementation of remote operational centers, automated feeding, real-time biomass monitoring, fish welfare tracking and machine learning. Farming Norway is at the forefront of this work and within the next five years we expect to complete the rollout of Smart Farming in our largest farming unit.

Our Goal

The current implementation of Smart Farming technologies in Mowi Farming is expected to have a positive impact not only on production and costs, but also on fish welfare and sustainability. This work is part of our overall plan called Mowi 4.0 to transform the value chain and make it more efficient through digitization and automation.
