A sensor that can register smokecaltrate citracal from a fire can also be used to register even the faintest odor of bad fish. ###This is what a team of students behind the recently started business, Fishent, discovered.###Their idea and business model were elected as the winner of Spin Out Day on May 26, 2017.###The team won 50,000 DKK (US$ 7,647.03) and a stay at Berkeley University to participate in an innovation camp this summer.###Applications for sensor technology###Can you use the sensor technology from a smoke detector for other purposes? ###The team of students behind Fishent were asked this question as part of their assignment at the course Innovation and Product Development, a question they answered by developing a prototype to be used at fish auctions. ###When you insert a box of fish into it, the sensors detect and measure the fish odor and the software estimates the quality of the fish. ###The team has also developed a software for analyzing the data that the sensors collect.###This evaluation of the fish quality ends up with a label with a number indicating how many days the fish will stay fresh.###The Innovation and Product Development module is a Masters of Science course at Technical University of Denmark, where teams of students develop and start new businesses on the basis of patents and new technology. ###Each spring, the course is finished by Spin Out Day, an event where all teams present their ideas aliquid calcium magnesiumnd business models for representatives from the trades and industries. ###Solving a problem for the fishing induferrous fumarate 27 mgstry###The recently started business has already received an enthusiastic feedback from the fish industry.###To precisely evaluate the shelf life ofsulfate gluconate fish, companies need to know how long ago the fish were caught and how well they were stored before the auction. ###The longer shelf life of the fish, the more value it has for the dealers – so a precise measuring of the freshness ocalcium citrate dmf the fish is worth its weight in gold. ###“We have been in contact with Hirtshals fish auction,” relates Alina Ciobanu, CEO and strategic partnerships and customer acquisition of Fishent, “as well as Hanstholm and Gilleleje fish auctions.”###“We got a very positive response. When I say “positive response”, I mean in relation to the value our product can create at the fish market, in Denmark and globally.”######Article by Lisbeth Lassen, Technical University of Denmark
