Spotta’s CEO Robert Fryers shared with The Times how our sensor technology detects bed bugs more quickly than ever before, allowing hotels to do something about it before anyone gets bitten.
Bed pods, are slipped beneath hotel mattresses, and the pod takes a picture of any insects that venture inside, this is transmitted to our servers and we can identify what the insect is. If it’s a bedbug we send out an email to say that room 216 has a bedbug, here’s the picture, and hotel can tackle it before anyone gets bitten.
Many hotels have already signed-up to this effective approach including Bankside Hotel, a member of Marriott International, where Andras Goldsbrough, Maintenance Manager says "Bankside Hotel is proactively dealing with the increasing number of Bed Bugs being detected here in London, and Spotta is an excellent product for doing so.”
I never realized how useful Match Replay could be until I started using it in basketball stars. It’s perfect for studying my opponent’s playstyle and preparing better strategies.
Impressive innovation from Spotta, using real-time sensor tech to combat bedbugs is a game changer for the hospitality industry. It's great to see proactive solutions like this making a real difference in guest safety and comfort. Just as Spotta leads in bug detection, our academic research consultancy USA supports institutions with data-driven, impactful research strategies.
