What we do
We use the very latest in Internet of Things sensor technology to take the guess-work out of pest management. We provide real-time information of insect pest detection in your orchards & farms.
Why we’re different
No other pest data service can deliver real-time data with low power and low cost. No cameras, no bulky equipment, no complicated software. RapidAIM is scalable for high resolution detection, orchard-wide and area-wide.
See pest locations
Detection data shown across your farm – make your control count where it is needed.
Know when pests arrive
Get real-time alerts of pest detection on your device, anywhere, anytime.
Freedom to move
Our sensors are small and easy to move, from crop to crop, season to season.
Easy & affordable
Hassle-free subscription service that is price-point competitive with manual monitoring and delivers better value.
Why we do it
Globally 100,000 tons of insecticide is used each year – the vast majority never makes it to the intended target. Why? Insects pest are very small and very mobile, making detection and control a guessing game!
How we do it
We have developed world-first IoT sensor technology that detects unique behaviours of insects. Just like a fingerprint can unlock your phone, an insect can “unlock” a RapidAIM sensor. The location of the insect is then logged in real-time!
Pest detection is reported to you via alerts and farm maps through a simple to use interface in the RapidAIM Mobile App.
Our sensors are placed inside traps that can be hung anywhere in an orchard. They do not require solar panels or complicated installation. They are ultra-low power and provide detection data season round.
What we offer
We take the guesswork out of pest management with our data products.
On-farm pest detection
Get alerts and high resolution
real-time maps of pest detections
Regional pest risk
See in real-time pest occurrence
across your region so you are ready to act

Applications
Our first application is fruit fly detection and monitoring. Fruit fly is the biggest biosecurity problem globally and costs growers and governments billions each year in control, monitoring and lost production.
We offer pest location information on a subscription basis, similar to a mobile phone plan. Sensors are installed for the duration of your data plan to deliver pest information to you worry free.
