01 — Planning & optimisation

Take full control of production planning.

Horizon Planner and Horizon Optimizer give you precise forecasts for both smolt and grow-out — flexible and easy to use, from short-term delivery planning to long-term forecasts years ahead. The Optimizer hands you the optimal production plan up to 6 generations out, based on your company's opportunities and constraints.

Benefits & key features

The heart of your production planning.

Horizon Planner lets you enter every biological and operational parameter — from roe stocking and release to the point the fish is sold. It supports every operation type — sea, land-based RAS or a mix. The plan updates with your data, giving continuous forecasts for biomass, feed use, MAB utilisation and other key parameters.

Horizon Optimizer takes planning a step further by automating and improving the decisions. The optimisation engine uses advanced algorithms to explore countless production scenarios, helping you find the best release timing, feeding strategy and harvest draw based on your goals — maximum growth, best licence utilisation, profit, cost reduction, or even delivery.

The result is a data-driven, robust production plan that adapts to changing assumptions. Advanced growth models — including our own Horizon growth model for salmon — raise forecast precision, so you can trust the plans to land closer. In short: less guessing, more knowing.

Intuitive interface

A clear timeline-and-table view lets you drag and drop events, adjust the plan and see the effect immediately.

Biological models

Integrated growth models account for temperature, day length, genetics and feed. Our latest machine-learning model is built on a unique dataset from 37% of Norwegian salmon production.

Scenario analysis

Copy your plans and test "what if" scenarios — more feed, earlier release, fish moved between sites — and see the consequences for biomass, time to harvest and cost at once.

Smart optimisation

Let the system propose the best plan for your criteria — lowest feed cost per kg of growth, or highest biomass within MAB limits. It finds in seconds what would take weeks by hand.

Integrations

Horizon Planner connects to your other systems — feeding equipment, sensor data, Excel imports — so the plan always rests on current information from operations.

How it's used

From stocking plan to harvest plan.

  1. 1

    Register stocking & master data

    Enter sites, releases and the biological assumptions your plan builds on.

  2. 2

    Set the assumptions

    Temperature, growth, feed strategy and genetics are applied to the plan.

  3. 3

    Simulate & optimise

    Explore scenarios and let the Optimizer find the best plan within MAB.

  4. 4

    Adjust & lock the plan

    Fine-tune, lock the plan and track forecasts against actuals over time.
