PATS-C – reliable automated real-time scouting of flying insects
Fast, easy and accurate – helps boost crop quality while saving costs
- Saves time & labour – reduces physical scouting rounds
- Promotes timely intervention – due to high frequency monitoring, pests are spot at early stage – detecting outbreaks up to 5 weeks earlier than existing methods
- Easy interpretation of data – user friendly web-based dashboard displays monitoring data in useful graphs
- Suitable for all protected crops – works well in both high-tech and low-tech production systems
- Focuses on moth pests – helps prevent caterpillars from wreaking havoc
How PATS-C works
- PATS-C watches all flight movements in the airspace above your crop
• The LED module illuminates night-active insects with infrared
• The camera module films and tracks the insects in 3D - The collected videos are sent to the cloud, where they are analysed and presented on the web-based dashboard
- The dashboard shows how many flights of an insect the camera has seen, and during which hours of the day the insects was most active
- With 1 PATS-C per hectare, we take a sample of 1.000 m² of the greenhouse, allowing you to catch the crucial early signs of insect activity
