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
