$2 million to develop biosecurity screening project

March 24, 2020

24 March 2020

A challenge set by the department to tackle pests and diseases on incoming cargo containers has led to two companies each being awarded $1 million under the Australian Government’s Business Research and Innovation Initiative (BRII) to develop a proof of concept.
Head of biosecurity at the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, Lyn O’Connell, said the department’s challenge was to find innovative and cost-effective solutions to improve the effectiveness of detecting and managing hitchhiker pests and other contaminants on, or in, shipping containers.
“The proof of concept stage will involve the two companies undertaking activities to produce a working prototype or demonstration of their proposed solution.” Ms O’Connell said.
“One company will base their solution on unmanned flight and detection technology, while the other proposes to integrate an array of sensors into the gantry cranes unloading sea containers from vessels
“The final products will have the potential to help protect Australia’s unique native flora and fauna from pests, diseases and contaminants that can arrive on sea containers.
“Incoming shipping or sea containers, whether carrying cargo or arriving empty, can provide a pathway for hitchhiking pests, organisms, diseases, weeds and contaminants to enter Australia and create a biosecurity risk.
“Both solutions are expected to address the current risks and are designed to fit within existing ship to shore processes for container movement, to keep cost to the minimum.
“I congratulate Industry Spec Drones Pty Ltd and Trellis Data Pty Ltd on their amazing work and look forward to the exciting opportunities the next stage will bring.”
BRII gives opportunities to innovative small to medium enterprises with ideas to tackle national challenges, including protecting Australia from biosecurity threats and driving growth in our tourism industry.

    Hello!

    Have you ever heard of X-GPT Writer: a unique keyword content generator based on the ChatGPT neural network?
    I also haven’t, until I was advised to automate routine tasks with this software, I want to say one thing! For a long time afterwards, I couldn’t believe
    that ChatGPT was such a powerful product if it was used simultaneously in streaming, running X-GPT Writer.
    I thought it was just a utility, it was inexpensive, a friend gave me a coupon for a 40% discount%:
    94EB516BCF484B27
    the details of where to enter it are indicated on the website:
    https://www.xtranslator.ru/x-gpt-writer/
    I started trying, delving into it, bought 50 ChatGPT accounts at low prices and off I went!
    Now I easily generate and launch 3-4 new sites per week, batch unify entire folders and even create images
    using the ChatGPT neural network and X-GPT Writer.
    It’s worth a try, Friends, there’s a demo, everything is free, you won’t regret it)

    Good luck!
