Monitoring-Based Pest Control Solutions

PATS is a Dutch agri‑tech company that provides an integrated pest monitoring and control platform for greenhouse growers. Its system uses fixed cameras and sensor units to detect and classify flying insects through automated image analysis, and it links those detections to a central dashboard that tracks pest activity over time. The platform is designed to enable condition‑based interventions by generating alerts and operational reports, and the company describes a pesticide‑free interception approach using small autonomous drones to remove targeted insects from the crop environment.

The company has raised seed funding to accelerate product development and international rollout, and it reports manufacturing capacity to deliver more than 1,000 sensor systems per month from its Netherlands facility. PATS originated from research at Delft University of Technology and markets complementary tools such as Trap‑Eye for sticky trap monitoring and predictive modules for outbreak forecasting. Public statements emphasise the objective of reducing growers’ reliance on chemical controls by improving early detection, intervention timing, and data‑driven decision making, while scaling deployments across multiple countries through expanded production and product refinement.
