Aurocon has developed Aurotrap, a humane and non-toxic rat trap designed to eliminate rodents efficiently. Made from recycled plastic, the traps are easy to install against walls, fences or other vertical surfaces on the ground. When a rat or mouse enters the trap and sensors detect the movement, a CO2 cartridge activates a piston that quickly and humanely dispatches the animal.
To provide pest control operators with real-time insights into trap efficiency and status, Aurocon needed a robust IoT platform capable of collecting and visualizing data. The data-driven insights are made accessible via dashboards, apps, and reports, allowing operators to optimize pest control strategies.
Building both a physical and digital product is complex, requiring deep expertise in hardware and software. Recognizing the need for a stable, scalable platform that could support future innovations, Aurocon sought a technology partner to elevate their digital capabilities.
Aurocon needed a scalable and reliable IoT platform to serve as the backbone for their digital ecosystem. Key requirements included:
To achieve these goals, Aurocon partnered with Trifork as their technology provider. With expertise in IoT solutions, Trifork ensured a smooth development process while maintaining speed and agility.
“We needed a partner to help us enhance the digital side of our product, and Trifork was exactly that. The collaboration was seamless, and the results speak for themselves. We’re excited about what’s next.”
To ensure the platform aligned with customer needs, the project began with a design phase incorporating insights from market research, user interviews, and feedback from the existing system. With a clear blueprint in place, Trifork assembled a dedicated team of three experienced developers to execute the vision.
Working in an agile approach, the team delivered the fully functional IoT platform in just three months. Key technical components include:
The gradual migration from the existing system to the new platform was carefully planned to avoid disruption. The solution was designed to run in parallel with the previous system, ensuring a seamless transition for customers.
“Developing IoT solutions in-house may seem cost-effective, but it’s complex and requires expertise across multiple domains. An IoT specialist brings industry knowledge, best practices, and proven frameworks to speed up deployment and avoid costly pitfalls, allowing you to focus on innovation and business impact.”
Through clear priorities, agile development, and a trusted technology partnership, Aurocon successfully launched a modern, scalable IoT platform in just three months. A structured migration process enabled full customer onboarding within an additional month.
With this transformation, Aurocon now possesses not only an innovative and sustainable pest control product but also a robust digital platform that supports ongoing growth, customer engagement, and future digital innovations.
