A joint project by Priot d.o.o. and Silicon Austria Labs developed an intelligent, energy-autonomous bark beetle trap using printed sensors, solar power, and wireless data transmission to monitor infestations in real time. This replaces labor-intensive manual monitoring, reducing workload while providing more accurate data for more effective and sustainable control strategies.
Project goals
Develop an intelligent bark beetle trap based on printed sensor technology
Enable continuous, real-time monitoring of infestations
Reduce labor and time required for traditional monitoring methods
Ensure energy-autonomous operation through solar power
Improve data accuracy to support more effective and sustainable pest control strategies
