“Having an impact on a whole industry is a function of focus and strategy and our winners have certainly shown that,” said Carl Ford, reporter at large for IOT Evolution World and community developer, Crossfire Media. “We are so pleased to be able to name these five companies our Business Impact Award winners for 2021. They deserve our congratulations.”
Bayer was chosen for its Rodent Monitoring System (RMS) while Bell Laboratories was recognized for iQ Products, powered by Bell Sensing Technology.
The Bayer RMS is a wireless, tireless network of high-tech sensors added to traps strategically placed around your facility. High-tech sensors in each trap monitor and broadcast their status through radio signals. These radio signals are then transferred to the cloud via cellular communication. The cloud software sends real-time notifications to users (email, text message) whenever a rodent is caught. Alternatively, with our latest release, users can direct the system to count bait station activity rather than issue immediate alerts. The Bayer in real time RMS portal displays the network of monitors and the current status of each individual monitor. This enables the operator to focus on proper inspection and the area of the infestation and eliminates the need to spend hours manually checking every trap.
iQ products, powered by Bell Sensing Technologies, is Bell Laboratories' line of smart rodent devices that was launched at PestWorld in 2019 and can now be found throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia at some of the largest PMPs in the business. “When we created our Bell Sensing Technologies division, our goal was to provide pest management professionals around the globe with the ability to efficiently and accurately protect their customers from disease and damage caused by rodent populations. iQ products allow technicians to accomplish these goals, all from the palm of their hand.” says Patrick Lynch, senior vice president of sales, Bell Laboratories and general manager for Bell Sensing Technologies.
