WHAT IS AutoDive?

AUTODIVE® is transforming aquaculture by delivering a superior crop and reducing labor with smart automation & machine learning.

AUTODIVE® creates an opportunity to support breakthrough yields in macroalgae while contributing significantly to US carbon sequestration targets.

AUTODIVE® was the first company to introduce autonomous depth control engines to the decades-old problem of manual buoyancy control.

AUTODIVE® received a contract & research funding to support the Department of Energy and their initiative to support new technology surrounding the production of macroalgae.

Aquaculture has become the primary focus of AutoDive, offering opportunities for revolutionary applications of our technology. Marine forests create the opportunities to reinvent the energy sector, provide endless new acres of rich farmland, ease the burden on over-exploited soil in traditional agricultural operations on arable land, and evolve chemical synthesis processes via natural methods. The Department of Energy sees a bright future for innovation in the aquaculture sector. With areas such as feedstock, fuels, materials, chemicals, and dozens of other commercial products at a sustainable and vast scale.

AUTODIVE® is happy to play our part in these revolutionary changes!

How AutoDive changes the future of Aquaculture

AutoDive

Our Primary Markets

 

Oysters

We have already begun implementing our game-changing, oyster cage-compatible solution in the Gulf of Mexico to help improve efficiencies and lower costs by optimizing processes for feeding, desiccating, wintering, and harvesting.

Mussels

Our suspended rope platform technology enables mussel farmers to take advantage of nutrient-rich waters while avoiding disrupting waves – ultimately allowing growers to move further offshore and expand their farms.

Our Secondary Markets

 

How does AutoDive work?

AutoDive is focused on bringing a working autonomous farming platform to various sectors of the aquaculture industry – ranging from shellfish like oysters and mussels to seaweed and fin fish. Our goal is to ease the burden of labor-intensive, repetitive farming processes with artificial intelligence (AI) and automation to help increase growth, minimize farm-to-market costs, and maximize profitability.

AutoDive is addressing key challenges in the U.S. aquaculture industry by providing automated local and remote (shore-based) monitoring and control that can vertically move farm structures in response to challenges (wave heights, tidal streams, shipping traffic, weather patterns, hurricanes, etc.), thereby…

  • Increasing safety and operator efficiency,
  • Protecting farm structures,
  • And preventing crop damage or complete loss.
