Market study about Digital twinning & sensoring
Lead: HAEDES
Contact: barbara.proenca@haedes.eu
This report offers a detailed insight in digital twinning and sensor technologies in the seaweed aquaculture industry. The three reports give an overview of current market trends, industry needs and recent research done within this field. As seaweed cultivation scales up, market expectations are shifting towards greater efficiency, precision and sustainability – trends that are driving the adoption of smart monitoring systems, automation, and decision-support tools across the sector. The Digital Twin solution responds to these demands by creating a real-time virtual model of seaweed farms, allowing producers to monitor environmental parameters, forecast biomass growth and optimise operations. The reports address opportunities, challenges and needs associated with the innovation and implementation of this technology, relevant for stakeholders throughout the whole process. They seek to facilitate ongoing partnerships, stimulate knowledge exchange, and promote sustainable innovation to lay the foundation for a long-term strategy.
