DIGITALISATION

WHAT IS ‘DIGITALISATION’?

FIS supports the UK seafood industry’s digital transformation, by examining digital tools that will be most beneficial for a sustainable and prosperous fleet. This includes drawing on lessons from other sectors, for example the space industry, and identifying practical, innovative routes which add value to the seafood industry.

PROJECT ACTIVITY

Data Sharing Pilot

FIS, in collaboration with Seafood Scotland and Verifact, piloted ‘whole supply chain’ digitalisation, laying the foundations for seafood businesses to trial greater transparency across the supply chain.

Digitalisation Roadmap

FIS worked with Verifact to audit the fleet’s current and potential digital capabilities, and identify digital tools that will support the industry in progressing towards a more digital future.

Satellite-tech Opportunities

FIS partnered with Space Intelligence to investigate satellite technology opportunities for the fishing industry, and identify the potential for space innovation to have a transformative impact on the seafood supply chain.
