Cargill's iQShrimp helps farmers manage risk, make better decisions
The predictive software uses machine learning and sensors to give shrimp farmers real-time visibility into their farm operations.
Shrimp farmers can tap into what is dubbed as the first cloud-based solution in the aquaculture industry thanks to Cargill's iQShrimp. The predictive software uses machine learning and sensors to give shrimp farmers real-time visibility into their farm operations. iQShrimp is a first-generation offering driven by iQuatic, Cargill's digital platform for aquaculture.
"Shrimp farming has inherent weather and disease risks," says Neil Wendover, digital insights product line director for aquaculture for Cargill, Minneapolis. "By working directly with shrimp farmers, our data scientists can use machine learning to deliver insights to inform decisions that directly impact the growth and economics of their operations."
