Intelligent detection for critical environments in food, pharma, and healthcare

Where previously it only became clear if there was a (beginning) fly infestation when replacing the glue board — often too late — the new system now offers immediate insight into the situation. An integrated camera detects fly movements in the device, accurately counts the number of caught flies, and sends this data via a 4G or 5G connection to a central platform. Here, the catch history is maintained for each unit, allowing for early intervention in case of undesirable trends and sending alert messages to various users.

Especially in environments where hygiene and contamination risks are crucial — such as in the pharmaceutical industry, cleanrooms, food processing, and medical spaces — this innovation makes a big difference. Thanks to real-time insight, prevention becomes possible instead of reactive action.

The development of this system brought with it several technical challenges. Detection had to be reliable in a physically limited space, under varying light conditions, and with high resolution. The system also had to communicate reliably worldwide, with minimal data transfer and low operational costs. And all of this within the price framework of a widely applicable customer solution.

By working closely with both the client and the end users, a system has been created that not only functions well technically but is also practically deployable. The collaboration was essential: through sharing knowledge, feedback from the field, and joint iterations, a solution has emerged that is unique in its kind worldwide.

We are proud to contribute to better hygiene, faster response, and more control in environments where it is vital — with technology that works silently but makes a real difference.
