HTC partners to launch smart fish finder solution for deep-sea fishing

HTC's G REIGNS, with guidance from Taiwan's Industrial Development Administration, has partnered with the Metal Industries Research & Development Centre, Fwuguan Technology, and Wen Fa Fishery to launch an innovative smart fish finder solution. This initiative aims to modernize Taiwan's deep-sea fishing industry by integrating advanced technologies.

The smart fish finder solution combines artificial intelligence, 5G private networks, satellite communication, edge computing, and drone technology. Its primary goal is to improve fish group search efficiency, enhance real-time information transmission, and bolster safety for offshore operations. This marks a significant step in the practical application of smart marine technologies in Taiwan.

Taiwan's deep-sea fishing sector, a vital industry, has traditionally relied heavily on the experience of captains and crews for locating fish stocks. However, limited communication coverage in vast ocean areas often hinders the timely transmission of high-definition imagery and operational data. This new solution addresses these challenges, enabling fishing vessels to "see further, transmit faster, find more accurately, and make decisions more promptly."

Key features include long-range fish group searches using drones, AI-powered fish identification and analysis, and a robust communication network combining 5G private networks with satellite communication. Edge computing processes high-definition imagery and operational data at the source, transmitting it efficiently to vessels and shore-based management platforms. AI systems analyze fish movements and identify high-potential zones, providing actionable recommendations to captains.

Actual verification results indicate that drones can search for fish groups within approximately 30 kilometers of a vessel, achieving over a 60% improvement in search efficiency compared to traditional methods. This advancement not only reduces operational costs and navigation risks but also guides the deep-sea fishing industry toward AI-driven smart decision-making, moving away from purely experience-based operations.
