Secure Mesh Communications
Yarn Mesh divices are super efficient and ultra low power, yet capable of long transmission distances between nodes. We recommend maximum distances between nodes of up to 10km. 25km max.
AT220 / AT520-AI AI/ML Camera
Using our integrated on-board AI/ML camera our devices are capable of identifying target and non-target species and arming New Zealand Auto Traps (NZAT) AT220s and AT520-AIs.
Solar Powered
Our devices utilise custom designed and manufactured low-light solar panels to ensure that 24/7 operation is possible, even under tree canopies or where sky views are obstructed.
Remote real-time in-field telemtry
Yarn Mesh makes it a possibility to command and control trapping networks from a single trap to thousands.
Each Yarn Mesh device subscription comes with an Integrated Management System (IMS) license. IMS gives Yarn Mesh users The Ultimate Vantage Point, where they can look through time to generate charts, reports, actions, tickets and alerts and get an up to the minute understanding of their trapping networks for knock-down or maintenance efforts.
Dynamic Reporting
IMS has an easy to use dashboard for drilling down into your data. Once charts are created you can move onto entire dashboards, and from there you can create reports or send links to 3rd parties for later vieweing. All of this can be automated so you only have to build or set things up how you like them once.
AI/ML Target Species Classification
Users can review imagery captured by the Yarn Mesh cameras to see what is coming into the traps across the network. IMS can show the inference on the image, which classification and what probability. Users can override the auto classification if we get it wrong. This helps us get it right next time.
Device / Trap Power Monitoring
Being able to monitor for exceptions is key to an efficient trapping operation, when it could take days or weeks to get around to every trap. Yarn Mesh and IMS gives you the ability to only go where you are needed, to top up bait, clear somethings’s stuck or swap out a trap battery.
Yarn Mesh makes monitoring and management of remote devices simple and effective.
Nobody wants to spend more time in the field than is necessary. Yarn Mesh turns an AT220 into an in-field telemetry devices, so we can manage by exception and know when issues with bait or batetry begin to emerge, rather than relying on inefficient monthly or quarterly checks for the sake of it.
OVER THE AIR (OTA) UPDATES
All Yarn Mesh devices can have their firmware and functionality changed over the air, from the comfort of the office. No in-field flashing is required. Yarn devices can have partial or full updates applied. Our devices are capabl of upgrading attached devices and sensors, such as the Yarn Camera and the NZAT 520-AI.
CUSTOMISABLE THRESHOLDS
Yarn Mesh devices can be configured on a per-network or per-device basis, as needed by the situation or location. This allows for customers who require higher inference and probability thresholds before arming traps, for those in Kākā
Birds or Kea country, to have fine-grained control over which devices are doing what.
24/7 LOW POWER OPERATION
Our devices have three modes of operation: Mesh Mode – where a device can participate in the mesh and have up and down-stream connections, Child Mode – where a device won’t participate in the mesh and only have an upstream connection, and Sleep Mode – where a device is asleep except for a five minute window at GMT:00:00 where it will be in Mesh Mode.
ELIMINATE BYCATCH
If you use an NZAT AT520-AI or a TrapNode equipped device such as a retrofit AT220, you will have peace of mind that the traps are only catching what was intended. The Yarn Mesh camera embedded in these devices are always watching to ensure that the traps are only armed when needed. We want to make sure that were macking positive changes to our world, one possum at a time.
AI/ML Camera Efficacy
It’s all in the data.
Thanks to IMS, we know exactly how many images have been taken and exactly what they are, or aren’t. Using this data for a site, we can get an understanding of how well the system is working. We can generate some stats using a single sites’s data for the last 6 months:
RETROFIT AT220s
86
TOTAL IMAGES vs USEABLE
38,312 vs 12,245
Possum / Rat / Kea > 50%
8022 / 1113 / 47
Possum / Rat / Kea – ERROR
1284 / 184 / 0
