Drones for commercial fishing

About

Planck Aerosystems provides a vessel-based, fully autonomous drone system for commercial and industrial fishing operations. Planck Aero's system provides aerial imagery and automatic object detection, resulting in a massive reduction of fuel consumption for fishing vessels of all sizes. Commercial and industrial fishing fleets have a major fuel problem. They account for over 1% of the world's oil consumption, and most of their fuel is used looking for fish. Fuel costs nearly outpace the value of the catch. Planck Aero's drone system reduces fuel use by 80%, meaning fisherman can operate more efficiently and sustainably.
