The company, founded in 2009, is known for its ag-related technology,[1][2] including automated pest sensors and software. It has been owned since April 2018 by Minneapolis-based DTN.[3] HistorySpensa was founded on 16 January 2009 by Johnny Park, a computer engineering professor at Purdue University, whose research into robotics and computer vision in farming (supported by a $6.4M USDA grant) led to the creation of the company. With support from the National Science Foundation[4] and private investment,[5][6] Spensa expanded its operations[7] and developed agriculture-related hardware and software products. Spensa's principal hardware product is the Z-Trap, an automated electronic device that detects insects in a field and wirelessly reports its data. Its software consists of both web-based and mobile applications, centered on the Spensa Agronomic Platform (AP), a subscription-based software.[8][9] Spensa was acquired in April 2018 by Minneapolis-based DTN.[10][11] External links
