SAIC Introduces: Seaweave Ltd

Seaweave is a New Zealand based technology company developing proven rugged, intelligent monitoring systems for aquaculture, fisheries, and wider marine operations.

Our team combines experience in marine engineering services, computer vision, smart sensing, cloud software and connectivity. Our capability spans imaging, data capture design, model development, and deployment in real marine operating conditions and building systems that can work in messy real world conditions and be taken through to pilot and operational use.

We have experience applying AI and computer vision to seafood and marine measurement problems, including count, identification, size related assessment, and other morphometric workflows. We act as a digital nervous system for modern seafood, fusing cameras, sensors, tracking, and AI so that farmers, fishing operators, and other seafood partners can see what is happening in real time and make better operational and environmental decisions.

Seaweave is developing water quality systems that provide continuous measurement of key parameters at farms, intakes, and assessment sites, feeding data into FLOW for alerts and trend analysis, and with sensors that can be deployed at the surface and at multiple suspended depths to monitor the full water column.

Our platform brings together subsea and surface cameras, wireless equipment scanning and GPS tracking into a single view through our FLOW software for remote and exposed farms, vessels, and plants. Hardware is built for energetic marine conditions, with an emphasis on reliability and low maintenance. Camera and sensor units are engineered for low power draw for vessels or compact solar systems on floating platforms, making continuous monitoring feasible in remote locations. Edge AI cameras process detections on the device, sending compact events and metrics instead of continuous high bandwidth video, and supporting real time alerting, time lapse review, and live streaming imagery.

Through co-development with the Bioeconomy Science Institute of New Zealand, we are building bioidentification tools that use edge AI cameras to recognise species and measure count, size, sex, and condition across finfish, filtration species, and crustacea. These models turn video into practical metrics for biomass, grading, and early welfare issues in systems designed to be cost effective for smaller operators.

Seaweave works with farmers, fishers, regulators, processors, and research partners to capture, analyse, and connect operational data across their sites. Our goal is to give each operation a living digital twin that supports growth into more exposed locations while maintaining high standards of environmental stewardship and product quality.
