The EU’s Blue Growth Strategy identifies aquaculture as a sector which could boost economic growth across Europe and is ideally placed to meet targets set out in the EU Green Deal and Farm
to Fork Strategies. However, aquaculture has not met its potential within the EU and although it is valued at over €5 billion the EU remains a net importer of seafood products. The European
Commission is focusing on the development and application of new and emerging technologies to aid the sustainable development of European aquaculture through the introduction of ‘smart farming’.
Aquaculture is one of three industry verticals in the 5GHEART project. The use case for the aquaculture vertical will comprise of two pilot sites, showcasing the applicability
of the solution developed in different locations. The first site in Greece (GR) will utilize the 5G-EVE node and the second pilot in Norway (NO) will use the Norwegian node of
5G-VINNI to access the network.
The scenarios to be developed for the two pilot sites:
- A1S1: Sensory Data Monitoring (GR, NO)
- A1S2: Camera Data Monitoring (GR, NO)
- A1S3: Automation and actuation functionalities (GR)
- A1S4: Edge and Cloud-based computing (NO)
- A1S5: Wireless communication on site (NO)
5G-HEART investigates aquaculture use cases based on the real needs of the sector.
