Smart Winch – precise measurements, easier than ever
Automatic adjustment
At OptoScale, we focus on one thing: providing you with precise data you can trust. To achieve this, you need as many accurate measurements of your fish as possible – giving you greater control and confidence when making decisions. That’s why you need a smart winch on your team.
Capturing images where the fish are at any given time provides more insight and better data – there’s no doubt about that. With the smart winch, you can effortlessly adjust the bioscope’s position underwater with just a few clicks or send it to predefined positions you know deliver optimal measurements.
We’ve created a robust tool that delivers more precise data, reduces manual work, and gives you greater control over your fish – whether you’re in the office or out at the pen.

What is a smart winch? And why do you need it?
Automatic adjustment
With the smart winch, the bioscope can be easily adjusted in any direction to track the fish. This reduces the need for manual work, increases the number of measured fish, and enhances precision in the data series.
Saved positions
With just a few clicks, you can send the bioscope to predefined positions you know provide optimal measurements.
You can also easily move the bioscope to a service position for maintenance or relocation.
Innovative solutions
Future updates will include intelligent and automated positioning of the bioscope, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
This ensures that the bioscope always captures as many fish as possible with the best possible images.

Built for tough conditions
Our engineers have spent years developing a tailor-made smart winch because no winches on the market could keep the bioscope at the desired depth. We’ve created a smart winch that is: robust and designed to withstand the harsh conditions at sea.
Easy to operate, easy to control
With just a few clicks in the web portal, you can control the smart winch easily and efficiently. You’ll always know the bioscope’s location in the pen, whether it’s depth or overall position.
The cabinet that comes with the smart winch will replace your current OptoScale cabinet, eliminating the need for additional equipment at the pen’s edge.
