RS Components supports the relocation of elephants in Sri Lanka

During the dry season in Sri Lanka, elephants wander the local rice fields at night destroying all the crops; this has significant repercussions on the livelihood of the local people.  Professor Nobert Bartos and his team at the polytechnical university in Vienna offered to help. A solution of using a fence system that rang an alarm when elephants entered the rice fields was developed.

Engineers created a neuronal network that identified the language of the elephants that was able to send signals to tell the elephants to stay away from the fields.

This system consists of a microphone, various amplifiers, a microcontroller and various other electronics parts. All of the components for the two prototypes were sponsored by RS Components Austria.
