"UMITRON CELL" is a smart feeding machine for aquaculture farmers that utilizes AI and IoT technologies. It enables remote feeding operation while watching real-time video of fish swimming in a fish tank from a terminal such as a smartphone. The AI can also determine the appetite of the fish and optimize and control the amount and speed of feeding, thereby reducing labor load, optimizing feeding, and preventing food from leaking into the sea, thereby contributing to the realization of an environmentally friendly aquaculture industry.
