ADAPCO Announces Availability of GeoFlow(TM) Technology; Proprietary Features Address Cost and Time Issues Associated with Driver Error.


SANFORD, Fla. -- ADAPCO Inc., the world's largest distributor of mosquito control products and application equipment, announces the availability of GeoFlow(TM), a ground-breaking, multi-purpose technology that delivers an unprecedented level of mosquito control efficiency and cost effectiveness. GeoFlow is the only mosquito control system that combines GPS-based variable mosquito application flow control, real-time/post-event location and activity tracking, and software-driven routing.

 ADAPCO Marketing and Business Development Manager Bill German, GeoFlow's WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) A system of earth stations and satellites that improves the tracking accuracy of the GPS navigation system to approximately 10 feet.  GPS-based variable flow control technology enables it to produce liquid flow rates proportionate to travel speed, based on the application rates of various compounds. "The technology is significantly more accurate than the radar- and sonar-based technologies of competing products," said German.

ADAPCO's proprietary GeoTracker(TM) and GeoTracker(TM) RT are the software technologies inside GeoFlow. They enable a manager to upload route maps to the GeoFlow hardware to ensure complete coverage of intended treatment areas and prevent repetitive treatments along the same routes. Additionally, on/off control of GeoFlow's spray function is automated en route to account for user-defined buffers indicating "chemically sensitive" residents and "no spray" zones.

"GeoFlow's routing feature addresses cost and time issues associated with driver error - forgetting to turn off sprayer or making wrong turns," explained German. "GeoFlow features an easy-to-follow moving map augmented by an external directional indicator on a 6.5-inch TFT (Thin Film Transistor) The term typically refers to active matrix screens on laptop computers. Active matrix LCD provides a sharper screen display and broader viewing angle than does passive matrix. See LCD and thin film.
