Description

iSCOUT® is an insect trap with integrated electronics (camera system, modem, power source with solar panel) and sticky plate. It can be hung wherever in the field it is needed, due to its low weight. In the field, the device is self-sufficient, as it is powered by a solar panel and a battery. A 10 MP camera takes high-resolution pictures of the sticky plate within the iSCOUT® trap. Images are sent via LTE to the FieldClimate platform where they are analyzed with AI (artificial intelligence) software. The results are then visible on web or mobile devices. As a result, we see the photo with rectangles around the target insect, as well as summarized data of the daily count, targets in total and development of insect population during the season. Control is real-time and the collected data can be used for further analysis.
