Start year 2021 End year 2023 Funding (€) € 401,672 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/901713/ Summary Over several years, FHF has invested systematically in automating the flow of raw materials on board fishing vessels, with the aim of achieving better quality, reducing costs and reducing heavy and one-sided repetitive work. A prerequisite for more automation of individual processes, such as feeding a gilling machine, is that fish enter the machine singly. Singular fish means fish that are separated (not lying on top of each other, etc.) in a smooth flow (1 fish every second, for example). Separating fish from each other from a trawl (or after pumping in) has typically been a manual task because humans are uniquely well suited to grab things in space based on observed location.
In order to enable singulation, and in addition the feeding of coiling machines, new methods and technologies must be researched.
Main objective:
To develop a system for singulating fish to facilitate the automatic feeding of sluicing machines, which does not require space and can be installed on board fishing vessels.
Sub-goals:
1. To build a smaller-scale prototype exclusively to research and develop solutions for ""batch-picking"" of fish from fish tanks and/or conveyor belts.
2. To draw up specifications for a solution where one can take larger quantities of fish and arrange for them to come out of the solution singly (one fish at a fixed rate), preferably also with the same orientation.
3. To develop a scalable and robust physical system that both transports and singulates fish, and build this on a smaller scale that demonstrates the function.
4. To draw up specifications for a solution that can feed coiling machines with the necessary capacity and in the right orientation.
5. To develop a robust and scalable physical system that can feed smaller scale slinging machines that demonstrate the function.
6. To test and document the effect of both systems on a laboratory scale (at Optimar).
