AquacultureImage Processing

Smart management of the aquaculture ecosystem

Aquaculture ecosystem management system based on the analysis of images captured by ROVs.

Problem: Feeding at salmon farms is carried out without accurate information on fish appetite and satiety, leading to feed waste and lost efficiency.
Solution: Analysis of ROV footage with algorithms that learn from the fish's appetite/satiety curve, classifying critical events and basic elements (pellets, nets, predators, fish).
Result: Successful testing of algorithms to recognize pellets, algae, underwater debris, torn nets, salmon and predators.

EnergyPredictive Maintenance

Predictive monitoring of solar panels

AI-based cloud platform to monitor and predict the condition of solar panels through image processing.

Problem: Maintaining large solar panel installations is a challenge: dust buildup and hotspots reduce performance.
Solution: Image-processing algorithms combined with thermographic cameras installed for field testing, integrated into a cloud monitoring platform.
Result: Over 85% efficiency in detecting dents, cracks and hotspots, increasing the asset's long-term yield.

Power distributionImage Processing

Condition monitoring of power grids

Cloud monitoring platform for condition monitoring of electrical wiring, with automatic, geolocated events.

Problem: Maintaining power distribution networks is a complex task that consumes a great deal of time and human resources.
Solution: Image recognition and processing models, validated in the field, that detect the angle and position of cables relative to the ground and the position of the poles.
Result: Successful detection of risk situations in the wiring, delivering automatic, geolocated events.

Energy · Water resourcesIntelligent Control

Floating photovoltaic islands

Modular design of floating photovoltaic panels with a system to monitor electricity and water gains.

Problem: There is a 70% water deficit from the Santiago Metropolitan Region to the Maule Region, worsened by high evaporation rates in reservoirs.
Solution: Structural and mechanical design of the floating solar panel assembly, plus a remote monitoring system for water and energy gains.
Result: The electric power generated was on average 17.35% higher than on land, thanks to the cooling effect of the water, while also reducing evaporation.

LogisticsImage Processing

Smart inventory monitoring

AI-based cloud platform for real-time warehouse inventory monitoring.

Problem: Keeping track of inventory is a complex, time- and labor-intensive task.
Solution: Digital image processing with Deep Learning algorithms using HD cameras installed at strategic locations, with field testing.
Result: Automatic counting of gas cylinders on the racks of a distribution warehouse, successfully detecting stock and available quantity.
