Aquarius Fish & Seafood Processing System
Aquarius Fish Processing system was developed specifically for the fish / seafood processing industry
How Aquarius NG Improves Fish Processing
The Aquarius NG system is designed to address the specific challenges of the fish and seafood processing industry, offering significant improvements in key areas:
Traceability:
The UK seafood industry has key legal requirements for traceability and labelling.
- Traceability means that fish and seafood can be tracked from the point of sale to the consumer, and all the way back to where it was caught.
- Requirements for traceability apply to the entire distribution and supply chain for seafood products.
- This includes: The name of the fishing vessel (or aquaculture unit), Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) species code, lot number, date of catch, catch area, production method.
- Aquarius software automatically assigns products the correct traceability information by printing labels with barcodes.
- Scanning these labels fetches the legally required traceability information, ensuring compliance and reducing the risk of penalties.
Yield Improvement:
- Aquarius helps optimise throughput and yield.
- The system includes factory processing of sales orders and a filleting module.
- Packing stations within the system are designed to capture yields.
Weighing:
- ACSS founder Richard Clarke comes from a background of extensive experience of creating software for use with specialist weighing equipment.
- The Aquarius system replaces the old method of handwriting weights and entering them into accounting software.
- The system uses hardware and software to provide a complete solution for fish factories.
Scanned Despatch System:
- The system has a scanner despatch module.
- This enables a more efficient process with delivery drivers able to get away from the depot much faster.
- Hand scanners are also used as part of the hardware.
Key Benefits to Highlight
- Accuracy: Eliminates errors associated with manual data entry and handwriting.
- Efficiency: Streamlines processes from goods in to despatch, reducing labor costs and saving time.
- Compliance: Ensures adherence to traceability and labeling regulations.
- Profitability: Optimises yield, reduces waste, and improves overall operational efficiency, contributing to increased profitability.

Benefits of System Core Module:
- Before implementing Aquarius, most customers are reliant on hand written weights being typed into accounts software and one customer was till handwriting invoices and using mental arithmetic to calculate totals.
- The boxes that the fish are despatched in had customer names, product and weights handwritten in crayon.
- This was time consuming and error prone.
- The core module takes away any manual data entry, handwriting sales orders and eliminates the need to write down weights of fish processed in the factory and the additional data entry that requires.
- Labels are printed that are stuck to the fish boxes.
- The software ensures that all orders are correctly prepared and picked for each customer, the automatic printing of despatch/delivery notes along with automatic invoicing enables a much more efficient process with delivery drivers able to get away from the depot much faster.
