Sensor Globe is led by a team with deep roots in aquaculture, fisheries, and technology. Our founders and team members bring experience spanning commercial fisheries, seafood sustainability, sensor engineering, AI-driven analytics, and aquaculture operations. Together, we combine practical industry knowledge with advanced technology development to ensure our solutions meet the real-world needs of farmers.
Aquaculture is the world’s fastest-growing food production sector, yet it faces increasing pressure from regulators, consumers, and insurers to improve fish welfare and reduce environmental impact. Traditional monitoring approaches are limited in capturing the most stressful and risk-prone moments in farming, such as handling and crowding. Sensor Globe addresses this gap by providing continuous, real-time welfare and environmental data, empowering farmers to reduce losses, safeguard animal health, and meet evolving compliance standards.
