Advanced IoT. Smarter feeding. Sustainable aquaculture.
A leading agribusiness is Australia's largest producer of salmon and prawns, farming Atlantic salmon across five marine sites in a state jurisdiction and operating multiple hatcheries and processing facilities. Since 2010, the agribusiness has partnered with Intuit Technologies to support its infrastructure, connectivity and digital evolution.
As sustainability expectations increased, the agribusiness needed better visibility into environmental conditions, feeding practices and marine site operations. Intuit Technologies, in collaboration with Dell Technologies, delivered a centralised IoT enabled feed centre in Hobart. The system enables real time monitoring, precision feeding and stronger environmental compliance. It supports a smarter, more sustainable future for aquaculture.
Over the years, Intuit Technologies has also supported the agribusiness through cloud infrastructure transition, cybersecurity pilot programs including ThreatLocker, and a network segmentation project. These initiatives have strengthened operational resilience and built a long-term partnership grounded in trust, performance and environmental alignment.
The Problem
As the agribusiness scaled, manual processes limited their ability to monitor and manage environmental impact effectively.
- Feeding relied on human judgement rather than live data
- Environmental conditions like oxygen, salinity and current were not tracked consistently
- Field teams were widely dispersed, creating safety and coordination challenges
- The infrastructure could not support digital transformation or sustainable operations at scale
The Business Impact
- High feed wastage and variable conversion rates
- Limited visibility into fish health and site conditions
- Increased compliance risk under tighter environmental scrutiny
- Safety challenges for remote workers
- Infrastructure gaps slowing down innovation and growth
The Solution
To support sustainable growth, Intuit Technologies and Dell Technologies delivered a centralised IoT and infrastructure platform built for performance, visibility and resilience.
- Hyper converged infrastructure for network stability and scalability
- Fibre optic and wireless connectivity across remote marine sites
- High definition camera feeds providing real time underwater visuals
- IoT sensors measuring oxygen, salinity, temperature and current
- Centralised control room for data driven, camera led feeding
The solution was designed to reduce environmental footprint, support fish welfare and improve regulatory alignment through consistent, verifiable data. It also built on prior cloud and security readiness initiatives, ensuring the platform was secure, compliant and scalable from day one.
The Results
- 11 percent improvement in feed conversion ratio, reducing waste and environmental load
- Enhanced visibility into water quality and site conditions
- Stronger alignment with sustainability goals and industry expectations
- Improved fish welfare through more precise, responsive feeding
- Finalist at the Australian IoT Awards
- Winner of the CRN Impact Award for Networking Evolution for the agribusiness deployment
