Each result is tagged with the trap ID and place, so the team can see trends by area and week and spot a hot zone early. A licensed technician or the site lead reviews the flags and decides what action to take and where.

# How can a food plant, warehouse or pest control company use computer vision to check traps and glue boards?

On each round the technician takes a photo of every trap or glue board, or small cameras watch high-risk traps between visits. A model trained on the company own images counts insects on boards, sorts them into the groups the team cares about, and marks traps with signs of rodent activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, a caught animal or a trap that has moved or been knocked over. Each result is tagged with the trap ID and place, so the team can see trends by area and week and spot a hot zone early. A licensed technician or the site lead reviews the flags and decides what action to take and where. The model does not replace licensed pest control, site audits or food safety rules, which stay in place, and people make every treatment call.

## What this means in practice

- Start with one site or one zone with many traps.
- Label photos from your own traps and boards by pest group and activity.
- Tag each photo with the trap ID and place.
- Review trends by zone and week to spot hot zones early.
- Keep licensed pest control and site audits in place.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
