FaunaPhotonics

Vision: We monitor insects to ensure sustainable crop utilization and to improve tools for pest control and biodiversity for the benefit of mankind.

FaunaPhotonics develops insect monitoring tools to optimize insecticide treatments with focus on the agricultural sector, but also including activities within the Environmental, Public Health and Aquaculture segment. The company has established international collaborations to aid technology development and lab & field trials. Technology platform combines light associated information on insects (movement pattern, color, shininess) collected with a patent protected sensor technique and machine learning algorithms to differentiate among insect groups (above 85% accuracy).

PRODUCTS

Several sensor models have been developed and the first sensor product, “SCOUT” aimed at mass production is slated for completion in 2019 with an initial launch in oil seed rape farming in 2020; unit may be field stationed or attached to machinery. SCOUT provides automated insect data collection with real time data uploads to cloud database. Easy access to information on insects in fields through app and web user interface including existing digital platforms. SCOUT will ensure accurate identification of risk periods for timely insecticide treatments and improved ability to protect beneficials and pollinators.
