Founded in 2018 as a spin-out from Delft University of Technology, PATS develops an integrated pest-management suite that combines computer vision, AI and nature-inspired drones to detect and neutralise flying insects in greenhouses. Its portfolio includes the PATS-C real-time flying-pest tracker, Trap-Eye sticky-trap scanner (co-developed with Biobest), and predictive software tools PATS-Vinder and PATS-Kalendar that forecast outbreaks and recommend interventions. All hardware and software are designed and manufactured in-house in Delft, enabling the company to ship more than 1,000 sensor units per month. The technology is already deployed in over 25 countries, giving vegetable, flower and ornamental growers early warnings and actionable advice while reducing labour and pesticide dependence. By replacing broad-spectrum insecticides with precise, automated solutions, PATS supports growers’ sustainability and regulatory goals. The newly raised capital will be used to speed up product development, broaden crop coverage and scale international sales, further embedding its AI platform in global greenhouse operations.
