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

NOVETROL

Within the NOVETROL project, a novel, fast, passive, and self-regulating current limiter for DC networks is being investigated. This device is based on the extraordinary magnetoresistance effect occurring in semiconductors with very high charge carrier mobility. The component functions similarly to a thermistor: instead of increasing its resistance with rising temperature, the resistance increases in response to the magnetic field generated by the fault current that the system is intended to limit….

MPOS

The MPOS project aims to deepen the understanding and demonstrate the potential of magnetic sensor grid applications for position and orientation sensing. A particular focus is placed on compensating for stray fields and reducing the calibration effort in modern magnetic position and orientation systems….

Genesis

The „GENESIS“ project researches the coupling mechanisms of electromagnetic interferences from automotive traction inverters. This forms the basis for a much stronger integration of simulation into the design of such inverters than has been the case to date....
