Join us in developing ground-breaking products for aquaculture

OptoScale is on a steep growth trajectory, and we want to strengthen our technical team with a computer vision professional. 

Our vision is to enable sustainable growth in fish farming by providing high quality data about important aspects of the production, such as the growth and welfare of the fish.

OptoScale has developed an industry-leading computer vision system creating a paradigm shift in aquaculture. Our hardware product is a stereoscopic camera device with onboard computing and internal light systems. This unit is placed in fish pens to register a wide array of data from approximately 50 000 fish each day. Comparing this to today’s standard of manually counting of 20 fish per week - it's not only revolutionary, but we also provide fish farmers with new crucial insight on fish weight, health, and lice status.
