? We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between Viam and Kongsberg Discovery. ? “Together, we are pioneering the use of AI in sonars for both commercial and recreational fishing. Our collaboration focuses on the KONGSBERG Simrad SY50, a compact omnidirectional medium-frequency fish-finding sonar. With Viam's technology, SY50 users can translate complex sonar data into actionable targets and utilize AI for the automatic tuning of key settings. This integration allows global fleets to seamlessly connect to the cloud, providing captains with real-time underwater activity insights, facilitating smarter decisions, and enhancing performance, says Martin Tollefsen. ? ?? Why This Matters: Efficiency:?Fish more precisely, reduce fuel consumption, and limit bycatch. Sustainability:?Meet stringent sustainability requirements and improve safety through better navigation and weather condition awareness. Innovation:?Real-time data helps forecast fish migration patterns, monitor populations for conservation efforts, and transform marine resource management on a global scale. "In many ways, we still have so much to learn about our oceans," said Viam Founder and CEO, Eliot Horowitz. "Integrating Viam's AI technology with Kongsberg's cutting-edge SY50 sonars will help us reach a greater level of understanding and enable better connected, safer, and more sustainable oceans." This partnership marks a significant step forward for the fishing industry, and we are excited to see the positive impact it will have on fishing operations worldwide. ? #AI #Innovation #Sustainability #FishingIndustry #Technology #Partnership ?
