SMAPPLAB

SMAPPLAB, also known as Scoutlabs, is an agricultural technology company founded in 2020 that develops AI-powered, camera-equipped smart insect traps. These IoT-enabled devices are designed to automate pest monitoring in fields and greenhouses by capturing daily images of insect catches, which are then analyzed by algorithms for species identification and counting. By integrating this data with meteorological parameters, the system provides farmers with real-time insights, flight season curves, and forecasting through a personal online dashboard. The company's technology is designed to be easily retrofitted onto existing traps or integrated into precision agriculture platforms to support informed decision-making for plant protection.

By enabling data-driven pest management, SMAPPLAB helps farmers and agribusinesses optimize their use of pesticides, contributing to increased crop yields, enhanced food security, and reduced environmental impact. The solution is utilized across various crops, including vegetables and maize, and supports sustainable farming practices by helping users determine optimal defense times and switch to biopesticides. The company has partnered with major agribusinesses and participated in international projects like SMARTPROTECT to disseminate its monitoring technology across Europe and South America. Their work has been recognized for its role in improving agricultural productivity and efficiency through scalable, reliable digital monitoring.
