Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

EMu's integrated pest management enables institutions to record details about the type and location of traps used to capture pests, what was found in a trap at a given date and time, which objects / specimens in the collection are involved in an infestation, what inspections are planned, and what actions have been taken.

A rich suite of reports for analysing pest trap data is provided, including a sophisticated visualization tool for identifying and tracking infestations within your institution.

Two modules provide pest management support in EMu:

• Traps

  Records information about the type and location of traps used by an institution to capture pests.

• Pest Events

  Records details about what was found in a trap at a given date and time, which objects / specimens in the collection are involved in an infestation, what inspections are planned, and what actions have been taken.

A comprehensive set of reports provides graphical data about the prevalence of pests within your institution.

The two modules and a range of Excel Pivot Table reports are included in the EMu Art and EMu Museum clients by default. They are available to all other clients on request and at no additional cost.

EMu's Integrated Pest Management facility also includes a powerful, web-based tool for visualizing your pest data on interactive maps and floor plans of your institution.
