Flox Intelligence

What Flox Intelligence does

Flox Intelligence combines AI, bioacoustics, and behavioral science to decode how wildlife communicates. They use this understanding to gently deter animals from critical infrastructure areas like runways, rails, roads, and fields. Their autonomous, Edge AI-powered devices detect species in under 2 seconds and guide them away without harm or habituation. Flox Intelligence aims to prevent human-wildlife conflicts and enable coexistence, offering solutions for airports, railways, roads, agriculture, and conservation.

Products

• Flox EdgeOnboard edge-AI device built for remote areas and harsh conditions, autonomously detecting and gently guiding animals away from runways, rails, roads, and fields. It offers 24/7 autonomous operation, species-specific bioacoustics, and works offline.
• Flox InsightsUses AI models to turn footage from any trail, wildlife, or security camera into living intelligence about land, providing insights into behavior, activity, and changes over time. (Coming soon)
• Flox HomeA smaller, quieter, Wi-Fi enabled version of their intelligence system for gardens, yards, and private land, designed for multi-species deterrence. (Coming soon)
• Flox PlatformA platform where Flox Edge units stream data, allowing users to see live insights, build dashboards, and generate reports for compliance, biodiversity monitoring, and more.

• Biodiversity monitoring and reporting
• Tracking species across landscapes
• Managing individual Flox Edge units and tailoring dashboards
• Choosing which species to deter and when (native vs. invasive)

AI approach

Flox Intelligence combines AI, bioacoustics, and behavioral science to decode how wildlife communicates. Their Edge AI-powered devices detect species in under 2 seconds and gently deter them using species-specific bioacoustics. The system learns from every encounter to avoid habituation. They also offer Flox Insights, which uses AI models to analyze footage from cameras for behavioral and activity intelligence.
