Mowi 4.0 Smart Farming

What’s 4.0 Smart Farming?

In Farming, this includes implementation of remote operations centres, automatic feeding, real-time monitoring of biomass, tracking of fish welfare, and machine learning among other initiatives. Farming Norway is leading the way with this work and within the next five years we expect to have completed the roll-out of Smart Farming in our largest farming unit.

Our Goal

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