TraceMyFish D6.2 – First pilot evaluation & KPI assessment

This deliverable provides a preliminary report on the first's pilot experimental design and on the acquired data. In addition, a first evaluation of the VIDEOM multispectral imaging sensor in terms of its application on the specific types of fish and on its actual application along the fish chain and the identified critical points in this chain (functionality, operational conditions etc.). Thus, towards this scope and in the general concept of WP6, the corresponding partners (AUA, NTNU, UoI and MATIS), define and set up the experimental conditions of each of the three pilots and acquire the measurement using the VIDEOM provided sensor. The collected data serves as inputs for further use and analysis, i.e., machine learning model training and deployment.

In Task 6.2, which this deliverable accounts for, partners will connect spectroscopic imaging data with reference measurements and analysis using traditional physicochemical and/or microbiological methods throughout the fish value chains, specifically the value chains of 3 types of fish: Atlantic salmon, Atlantic whitefish, and Mediterranean seabream/seabass. The experiments planned and described in D2.3 and D6.1 aim to tackle the most relevant quality and safety parameters mentioned in stakeholder interviews and further to provide added traceability of the product throughout the process in question. The experiments set out to provide assessment of relative KPIs identified for each value chain. That includes;

1. the availability of critical targets/sites in chain, which are ensured by chain simulation for the 3 fish types integrating within product variability.
2. Verification of the mitigation in quality/safety, authenticity, traceability and also in terms of waste via the acquired along the chain data enabling early alerts.
3. The successful demonstration of the whole closed system in terms of accuracy, quality, traceability and mitigation verification.

Through the work in the task the TraceMyFish systems functionality and performance was and will continue to be evaluated. The outcomes of the testing will be documented, and recommendations for improvement will be provided to the technical partners. Furthermore, the progress of the improvement will be monitored. This deliverable, 6.2, provides a preliminary evaluation of the pilots and assessment of KPIs to be updated through deliverable 6.3.
