A high-performance spatial-analytics platform built for the Norwegian Veterinary Institute and EUPAHW to track aquaculture biosecurity and biological risks.

The Norwegian Veterinary Institute evaluates biosecurity measures across salmon and trout farms in Norway using KoboToolbox. However, raw survey data was hard to read and evaluate. There was no user-friendly way for veterinary epidemiologists to view regional risks, nor for aquaculture producers to see their scores, evaluate individual vulnerabilities, and compare them against national averages.
A highly secure, multi-tenant dashboard built with Next.js 16 and Bun. The platform dynamically integrates with the KoboToolbox REST API via Bun-backed Next.js API routes, pulling survey data in real time. Clerk authentication with Role-Based Access Control gates specific views — admins see everything, producers see only their farms, and the public sees anonymized aggregates. Tailwind CSS v4 powers fully responsive mobile and tablet layouts for field workers collecting data directly at the farms. The result is a sovereign, performant analytics platform that turns raw biosecurity surveys into actionable intelligence.
The platform is organized around three technical pillars that transform raw field data into real-time biosecurity intelligence.
High-speed interactive rendering of farm locations across Norwegian fjords. Combines geographic coordinate plotting, cluster density groupings using supercluster, and dynamic heatmaps to spot high-risk biological contamination zones at a glance.
High-fidelity visual intelligence powered by echarts-for-react. Radial radar charts evaluate biosecurity vectors — hygiene protocols, disinfection routines, physical containment — alongside real-time circular risk gauges and dynamic regional benchmarking charts.
Admins (Institute staff) get a comprehensive country-wide overview of biosecurity status. Producers (Farm Managers) access private farm-specific reports and benchmark against the national average. Public users view anonymized, aggregated high-level data for scientific research and public awareness.
Since the system deals with sensitive national biosecurity data, the platform is hosted on a private server using Docker, behind a robust self-hosted reverse proxy (Caddy). This architecture ensures complete data sovereignty, strict privacy compliance, and absolute control over sensitive environmental metrics. No third-party cloud provider has access to raw survey data.
Key outcomes and metrics from the implementation. Every number is drawn from the project scope, the production system, or authoritative industry data.
A farm manager in Nordland sees four farms. An epidemiologist in Oslo sees 340 nationwide. Same data, automatic role filtering. No configuration, no overexposure.
A technician marks ISA virus presence in Alta. Five minutes later, the heat map shows a new red point. Direct KoboToolbox sync — no batches, no imports.
Every survey lives on a private Norwegian server. No cloud provider processes raw farm data. GDPR compliance and data residency by design.
Norway produces ~40% of global farmed salmon (Iversen, 2025). Every visualization protects a supply chain worth billions.
