YIP IN TSOI AND SIEMENS PARTNER TO DEVELOP AQUACULTURE TECHNOLOGY FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IN THAILAND
The collaboration aims to enhance the data collection process and transparency in the fish farm, resulting in greater efficiency and better quality of aquatic crops with trusted traceability.

One of the main challenges for land-based fish farm operators in Thailand has been predicting and controlling production. Recently, climate change has worsened this challenge, causing disease outbreaks that affected the growth rates of aquaculture crops. Fish farm operators face with increased costs in feed, care, and energy, among other rising operational costs.
A significant part of the problem stems from a lack of accurate and timely data for decision-making, often leading to guesswork, resulting in mistakes that impact overall production, waste resources, and incur unnecessary expenses.
CEA technology for the aquaculture industry can effectively address these challenges. Key technologies in this collaboration include:
- Automation systems that collect real-time data from various systems within the farm, such as sensors in fish ponds, data from environmental control systems, and display the integrated data on a dashboard.
- Digitalization technology that analyzes the crop’s behavior, optimizes feeding, and detects abnormalities, among other tracking features.
- Water and energy management systems, tailored to the specific needs of the farm, enable stable and optimal use of water and electricity. In addition, the systems support biocircularity within the farm, for example, the recycling of water for other uses, maximizing resource efficiency and advancing sustainability.
The real-time, centralized, data from these systems provides comprehensive insights, enabling fish farm operators to monitor environmental factors more effectively and respond quickly to fluctuations in farm conditions, thereby reducing resource waste and eventually increasing yields.
Additionally, CEA technology, with its controlled environment, can be used to increase production by establishing farms in locations previously unsuitable for farming, thereby enhancing future food security.
Under this MoU, Siemens, a global expert in CEA technology with a portfolio of successful projects, will deploy its CEA solutions in Yip In Tsoi’s fish farm and, in the process, transfer the know-how through practical implementation as well as formal training.
