#News(Startup) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
Agrint is an exciting new company using smart sensors to help detect the infestation of the Red Palm Weevil and similar insects. Agrint has developed a low-cost and low-energy Internet of Things (IoT) system that can transmit early detection notifications about infestation of a tree.
The Agrint approach couples an extremely high sensitivity sensor that can pick up on the subtle vibrations of larvae as they begin to tunnel through the tree with a unique algorithm that analyses the data for specific patterns. This information is continuously fed to the cloud and updated to utilise big data and help users stay tuned into behavioural trends and analysis. The ‘IOtree’ solution can be used to protect date palms, ornamental palms, oil palms, and coconut palms. This allows farmers to increase the efficiency of pesticide management and save trees from damage, which eliminates costly replacement expenses. Agrint has already deployed their technology to places like Jordan, where it is being used to help remove trees local farmers would not normally know are infested.
