Developed through a collaboration between Canadian and Ecuadorian experts, the app is set to make its official debut at the Global Shrimp Forum in Utrecht, Netherlands, from 3-5 September.
Kampi, powered by artificial intelligence, introduces a management approach called dynamic precision farming. This innovative method facilitates real-time monitoring of shrimp farms, enabling farm operators to make timely and informed decisions from any location across the globe. The app’s developers suggest that Kampi offers a more sophisticated alternative to existing shrimp farm management software, particularly those lacking in smart or predictive capabilities.
The app integrates three main features: Vision, Optima, and FarmBook.
- Vision is a real-time mobile tool that uses AI to analyse photographs taken with a smartphone. It provides immediate information on shrimp sizes, accurately determines the average weight per pond, and displays weight distribution data through user-friendly histograms.
- Optima offers a comprehensive analytical solution that provides insights into shrimp farm efficiency and processes. This feature includes a modelling and prediction tool, Optima Predictions, which offers real-time data to help anticipate potential scenarios in the shrimp business.
- FarmBook connects farm communication channels, allowing for streamlined coordination and information-sharing across all stages of the production chain.
Kampi will be presented at the Global Shrimp Forum by Katie Sokalsky, chief executive officer, and Eduardo Arosemena, global chief operations officer. Sokalsky, who brings a background in finance and technology, is focused on applying digital transformation to the aquaculture sector. Eduardo Arosemena, with extensive experience in shrimp production and management, will also be contributing his expertise to the initiative.
The Global Shrimp Forum, regarded as a key event in the industry, provides an ideal platform for the introduction of Kampi. The app is expected to draw significant interest from stakeholders seeking to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and profitability of their operations.
