Why SpectroPALM
The Red Palm Weevil (RPW) is a well know pest infesting more than 40 species of Palm trees across the globe. RPW is considered the biggest contributor to palms’ trees loss worldwide given the fact that infection is very challenging to detect since 80% of the weevil life cycle is almost invisible and by the time infection is detected, treatment might not be effective.
SpectroPALM is an innovative IoT solution that uses acoustic sensors for the RPW detection at a very early stage of the weevil’s lifecycle and even before any signs are visible to human eyes. At that early stage, infection treatment is feasible and large-scale infestations can be avoided.
How SpectroPALM work
SpectroPALM sensors are easily installed in the palm trees and communicates wirelessly with Spectro main gateway. The gateway is responsible for communicating Palm trees’ key data with Spectro IoT platform where it is being processed and analyzed to generate key metrics and analytics.
