RATSENSE - How Can the Internet of Things help Pest Management?
In Singapore, we witness several instances of rodent infestation in commercial spaces every year where there is a huge financial loss reported due to property damage. These commercial spaces include offices, restaurants, hotels, warehouses, schools, cafes, showrooms, etc. Rat infestations not only lead to financial loss but also affects a business’s reputation amongst customers and it might sometimes lead to permanent closure of the commercial building/services.
Thus, it is imperative to come up with state-of-the-art technology that can help in combating the pest infestations with effective strategies and technologies for rodent control in Singapore. Since we are already embracing technology in every aspect of our lives, why not make use of technology for pest management?
What is IoT?
IoT stands for Internet of Things and it is an ecosystem created by connecting physical objects that are accessible via the internet. The ‘thing’ in IoT is an object that has an IP address and ability to collect and transfer data over a network without any human intervention. IoT is touted as the most effective and superior way of tracking rodent activity and getting rid of them by finding the root cause of the problem and offering seamless solutions.
Role of IoT in rodent control
The IoT technology makes use of rodent sensors that are placed across the infested property. These sensors are connected via the internet and offer real-time information to all the parties involved such as the pest management service, technicians, and the owners. You can get notified about any rodent activity traced by the sensors on your smartphone even when you are miles away from the workspace.
Features of IoT-based pest management system
- The data collected by these sensors is presented in an understandable and interactive manner. Reports are generated and shared with the parties involved.
- The reports generated are visual with use of colours, meters, and graphs.
- All the parties are sent alerts for situations that require immediate attention.
- You will also be notified in case of any exceptional data received by the sensors or observed by field technicians.
Benefits of having an IoT-based pest management system installed
