FaunaPhotonics is Copenhagen-based and is running a biodiversity initiative in summer and autumn 2022. We place sensors around Denmark to collect insect observations and biodiversity data. The data can be accessed through FaunaPhotonics’ customer portal and can be compared – with other habitats and locations or at the same location during a time period. With this, we can identify effective interventions that enhance biodiversity.
During last summer we partnered with the French agricultural cooperative group Invivo, looking at the activity of European grapewine moths and American grapewine leafhoppers in French wine crops.
How might we empower health analytics for sustainable aquaculture with sensor networks and Artificial Intelligence? Our MISTI program intern Yujie Wang has been working with this exact question through January 2021, contacting and interviewing stakeholders within the aquaculture industry. He has written a small sum up of this project, so far, below:
FaunaPhotonics is part of the MISTI-program in Denmark – Two interns join the Aquaculture part of the company in January 2021
During July 2020 we tested our sensor technology with Syngenta at Lystrup gods in Denmark. Placing sensors in a natural field margin and in a planted flower strip.
In January 2020 John Deere announced the participants of the second round of their startup collaborator program. FaunaPhotonics is one of 4 startup companies to take part in this program during 2020.
In January 2020 our data analyst Klas Rydhmer, who has been part of the company since 2016, began an industrial PhD with the working title: Development of automated and non-intrusive monitoring of pollinators and insect biodiversity using optical sensor.
