Unique sonar technology. Better feed conversion. Full control over biomass.
Waive combines advanced AI and sonar technology to provide continuous visibility into fish behavior, biomass distribution, and welfare in submersible pens. Our digital twin platform delivers decision support for optimal feeding, health management, and more efficient operations.

Up to 10% improved feeding efficiency
Feed accounts for over 40% of production costs in salmon farming. Waive gives you real-time data to feed smarter — and it shows on the bottom line.
Feeding decision support
Better feeding = direct savings
Waive visualises feed pellets in the water and provides decision support for optimal feeding regimes. With a feed cost of NOK 25 per kg and 120,000 fish per pen, even small improvements translate to significant savings:
| Improvement | Savings per pen per year |
|---|---|
| 2% | NOK 300,000 |
| 10% | NOK 1,500,000 |
Escape alarm
Alerts that protect against million-kroner costs
Escapes are low probability but high impact. Fines per escaped fish have increased sharply in recent years, and reputational damage comes on top. Waive alerts you to escapes and unforeseen events — potentially saving over NOK 20,000 per pen per year in reduced risk.
Accurate biomass = safer sales
Sell the right volume at the right price
The industry's average biomass estimation error is ±5% — with deviations up to ±40% (SINTEF). Deliver too little and you need to redistribute from other pens or buy in. Deliver too much and you're left with fish that must be sold quickly — often at a discount. Estimation errors cost up to NOK 2/kg in lost sales price, plus redistribution costs. Waive gives you accurate count and weight distribution in real time (≤3% deviation, typically 1-2%), so you can plan sales with confidence and avoid costly surprises.
Documented operations
Better data = stronger position
Continuous behavioural data and biomass history provide a solid basis for insurance cases, regulatory compliance and environmental reporting. Documented operations also strengthen your position in negotiations with buyers and suppliers.

Why Waive
We build tools that give fish farmers full control over what happens below the surface — even when conditions are challenging.
Fish health first
Our technology is designed to provide better insight into fish welfare, stress levels, and risk factors — before small deviations become major problems.
Control over biomass and structure
Real-time data on biomass distribution, density, and movement patterns throughout the entire pen provides a more precise foundation for decisions.
Safer operations under demanding conditions
The solution is built for submersible, offshore, and closed pens where traditional sensors fall short.
Data-driven decision support
Automated analysis and digital twin technology make it easier to manage feeding, operations, and risk based on actual data — not gut feeling.
Solutions
Waive is designed for all types of facilities, from standard ring pens to sites where requirements for visibility, precision, and robustness are extra high.
Open pens
The most common pen type in Norway and abroad also needs visibility. Get continuous insight into count, positioning, and development.
Submersible pens
24/7 visibility of fish distribution, volume, and behavior when the pen is submerged to avoid waves, lice, and weather.
Offshore facilities
Combined sonars provide visibility across large volumes and complex structures where traditional sensors fall short.
Closed and semi-closed systems
Data foundation to understand water currents, density, and behavior in closed and semi-closed solutions.
Research and development / fisheries
Research projects and fisheries where detailed sonar data and behavioral analysis provide new insights.
