Two become one: OptoScale acquires Optimeering Aqua
After ten years of growth – camera by camera – we are now taking another important step forward. For the very first time, we have made an acquisition:
OptoScale has acquired Optimeering Aqua – the company behind the prediction tool Bioplan.
Two strong technology environments in aquaculture are now joining forces, with one common goal:
To make it easier to make good decisions, based on insights that are actually true.
From real-time to future
OptoScale already provides real-time data on growth, welfare, lice and feeding. Now we’re connecting this with Bioplan’s predictive models – so you can see not only how the fish are doing right now, but also what’s about to happen.
– How will mortality develop in the coming weeks?
– How many fish with ulcers can you expect in three months?
– What is the smartest harvesting plan in terms of growth, production window and lice pressure?
You can now get answers to all these questions – in a single solution.
Why exactly Optimeering Aqua?
Behind Optimeering Aqua is Erlend Torgnes and a solid professional environment with deep insight into the biology and production challenges of aquaculture. Over the years, they have developed advanced tools that help fish farmers to plan better, anticipate developments – and act in time.
For us, the choice was easy. We already know the team well and know what they stand for. Now we’re looking forward to continuing to build together.
– “There are many good technology suppliers in the aquaculture industry, but few with such a deep biological understanding and professional weight as Optimeering Aqua. We have worked closely together in the past, and I have always been impressed by what Erlend and his team achieve,” says Sven Jørund Kolstø, CEO of OptoScale.
– As we join forces, we do so with a common goal: To give fish farmers even better support in the decisions they make every day. It’s not about fancy dashboards – it’s about understanding what’s actually happening in the cage and what it means going forward. With this merger, we are taking a big step in the right direction.
More insight. Less complexity.
The merger of OptoScale and Optimeering Aqua is not just about technology. It’s about making everyday life easier for everyone who works with fish in the sea – from planning to slaughter.
Now that Bioplan is part of the OptoScale platform, it combines real-time data with prediction models in a single solution. No more systems to deal with. No more jumping back and forth. Just one place to find the answers – and make good decisions.
You get deeper insights. More possibilities. And better control over developments in the pen.
And the people? They’re still the same. Just with even more in the toolbox.
