Objective
xTrap is an innovative smart trap solution that will transform pest management operations in farms, fostering the transition towards the Agriculture 4,0 era. It combines real-time automatic monitoring of pest insects with prediction based on machine-learning models. xTrap is the first predictive solution for pest life-cycle events (over 95% accuracy) on the market. It accurately identifies crop pests and diseases in time, therefore allowing farmers to prevent them effectively. xTrap includes two main functions: 1) automatic insect detection through smart traps equipped with sensors and high-resolution cameras to count and identify insects by means of machine-learning algorithms, and 2) pest prediction through algorithms based on environmental data and phenology of insects combined with the use of artificial intelligence. The output from the algorithms and the predictive models will be available to farmers through our digital platform currently being commercialized by xFarm.
