THE AI ANGLE
Identifying animal species on edge cameras to trigger tailored acoustic deterrents

Flox Intelligence developed edge devices that detect animals near roads, rail lines, and runways. The devices use on-device computer vision to identify species and emit tailored sounds to drive them away. This gives infrastructure operators and field biologists an alternative to static fences, sirens, and culling.
