Smart Bark Beetle Trap

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

Tiny Power Box 1

In the „Tiny Power Box 1“ project, the focus is on optimizing the power density of integrated chargers in e-cars, so-called onboard chargers. The goal is to reduce weight and save on components and space, while simultaneously increasing power density by a factor of 4, achieving the highest efficiency during fast charging, and enhancing environmental compatibility.

REDSEL

The re­search focus of this project is on inves­ti­ga­ting novel concepts and archi­tec­ture for safe, reliable, and effi­cient high-voltage/​low-voltage onboard power network systems. The diffe­rent concepts are evaluated for specific opera­ting condi­tions, and the most suitable one is imple­mented in the form of a demons­trator.

EU-TRAINS

EU-TRAINS develops innovative wearables and intelligent textiles with integrated sensors for capturing vital signs – even under demanding conditions such as underwater. The project aims to promote telemedicine, health monitoring, and an active lifestyle, as well as to build a fully European value chain for sensor-based health technologies….
