We\u2019ve said it before, and we\u2019ll keep saying it for years to come: innovation doesn\u2019t just happen in a high-tech laboratory!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s created by those in the real world, facing some of the biggest, smallest, common and unique challenges our society faces!<\/p>\n
Innovation is all around us, and some of our employer partners are doing pretty cool things to solve these challenges effectively.<\/p>\n
Rentokil is no exception!<\/strong><\/p>\n Rentokil<\/a> Initial pride themselves on doing the sometimes-invisible work essential to protecting people, enhancing lives, and preserving our planet.<\/p>\n From washrooms to aged care homes to office pot plants and classrooms \u2013 they\u2019re there, ready, bursting with passion and pride to make a positive difference for their customers and communities.<\/p>\n They may be the leading global expert in pest control, hygiene solutions and indoor plant care, employing 46,000+ colleagues globally, but they\u2019re also a humble, friendly bunch.<\/p>\n You might recall our last piece<\/a> on Rentokil, where we shared some incredibly unique innovations they\u2019re implementing to shape the industry.<\/p>\n Well, this time, they\u2019ve outdone themselves!<\/em><\/p>\n Trialling a new way to get rid of rats in people’s homes, Rentokil is using special software<\/a> that can recognise the faces of the rats!<\/p>\n They\u2019ve been working on this technology for a year and a half with the help of Vodafone and testing it in real homes to see if it works.<\/p>\n The software keeps track of what the rats do and uses artificial intelligence to analyse the information in real-time. A control centre then decides where and how to kill the rats seen on camera.<\/p>\nFirst Things First: Who Are Rentokil Initial?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
