Exciting news: Archipelago received the Innovative Excellence Award for Software at this year’s
@viatec Awards for the FishVue AI platform.
For those unfamiliar, FishVue AI is our answer to a problem the fisheries monitoring industry has been working around for years. Reviewing electronic monitoring footage is slow, expensive, and labor-intensive. A single vessel can generate days of continuous video across multiple cameras, and someone has to watch it. FishVue AI changes that equation. It uses object-detection models to flag moments of interest across up to ten camera feeds, loads those detections into our review software FishVue Interpret, and lets trained reviewers jump straight to what matters. The platform supports multiple AI tools running in sequence on the same dataset, and through AQUA, our training tool, every round of human validation makes the models smarter. We are not trying to take humans out of the process. We are trying to give them better tools so they can focus on the decisions that count.
We think this is the direction the industry is heading, and we are proud to be helping lead it.
The people who deserve the most credit are our developers. They are the ones turning complex requirements into working software, solving problems that do not have tidy answers, and shipping updates that our clients around the world depend on. This award belongs to them.
We also want to acknowledge the Victoria tech community that surrounds us. This city has a way of producing companies that punch well above their weight, and a lot of that comes down to the connections and support VIATEC has built over more than two decades. Their work to grow and promote Greater Victoria's tech sector creates the conditions for companies like ours to do ambitious things close to home. We are grateful for that.
Thank you to VIATEC, to our local technology partners, and to everyone who came out to celebrate. It was a wonderful evening!
