The Palmonitor app is the user easy-to-use interface of Palmonitor's highly reliable seismic sensor for early detection of the red palm weevil, by detecting the burrowing activity of larvae inside the tree, in their early development stages. Each tree is outfitted with a unique, durable, and energy-efficient sensor technology to recognize the signature of larvae activity. The sensor is highly sensitive to the slightest movements, yet sophisticated enough to filter out anything that could lead to a false alarm. No matter the size of the tree, our sensor will be able to detect weevil activity at its early stages Sensor information is continuously stored for big data analysis using added detection measures. Big data analytics allows great improvement in the overall sensitivity of the solution, as when detecting the presence of larvae in certain areas the system can immediately and automatically change the detection thresholds and sensitivity of sensor devices in the area that is more likely to analyze the problem. Data is sent in near real-time to your computer, mobile device, or tablet. The easy-to-navigate app allows instant access to critical information that can pinpoint a single infested tree and save it from destruction. The app main features: - One-time marking the location of each sensor (>2 sec per sensor when installing). - The possibility of providing "free text” as the name for each sensor. - The ability to mark whether a tree has been sprayed/treated to produce a unique tracking program of the effectiveness of the spraying over time. - Receive live notifications about infected trees. - The ability to get a navigation path to infected trees. - Receive live notifications about the status of each sensor. - Advanced mapping option of the farm’s surface

Your whole farm in your pocket, palm by palm. Smart Palm manages date palm farms: map every palm, follow irrigation, pollination and yield, and organise workers and expenses β€” all in one place, and it works without internet. β€’ Draw your farm on the map Open the satellite view, trace the farm boundary with your finger, set the spacing between palms, and the app lays them out on an even grid in seconds. Adjust any palm by touch before saving. Instead of hours of manual entry. β€’ AI date identifier (beta) Photograph a single date and the app names its variety, with a confidence score and the closest alternatives. If it is wrong, correct it β€” accuracy improves with every correction. β€’ Irrigation by season and soil type Set your soil type and see the water each palm needs across six seasons a year, split between mature and young palms, with an optional top-up percentage of your own. β€’ Disease diagnosis from a photo Photograph an affected frond or trunk β€” or upload a photo your worker sent you β€” and get an initial diagnosis with suggested treatment. β€’ Team and payroll Register workers and supervisors, assign them across farms, and track salaries, advances, bonuses and deductions. With a document register, expiry dates and leave tracking. β€’ Expenses and revenue Record farm expenses, assets and recurring costs, and keep receipt photos. Reports span multiple farms and show net profit for any period you choose. β€’ Tasks and alerts Assign tasks to workers, follow completion, and get alerts on your phone. β€’ Production records Log each palm's yield in kilos and by grade, and see the forecast for the coming season. β€’ Built for the field Signal is weak on farms β€” so the app saves locally first and uploads when the connection returns.
