What Ecomoni does

Ecomoni is a Netherlands-based IoT platform company that delivers continuous, automated biodiversity monitoring for ecological consulting firms, land owners, area managers, governments, and project developers. The platform deploys multiple sensor types in the field — audio (bio-acoustics for birds, bats, insects), presence detection (e.g., nest box occupancy), image capture, and environmental/climate sensors — and converts raw signals into species identifications, activity patterns, and trend analyses using proprietary AI algorithms. The company positions its offering as an observation layer that supplements rather than replaces traditional fieldwork, addressing the labor intensity and snapshot-dependency of manual ecological surveys.

The product surface is organized into five modular use cases (Aanwezigheidsdetectie, Bio-akoestiek, Digitaal transect, Nestkastmonitor/NestMoni, and Insectenmonitoring), which can be deployed individually or together to produce a continuous stream of biodiversity data for ecological analysis, reporting, and policy compliance. The underlying technology traces to the ARISE project (2021-2026), a research program on automatic species recognition from which the founders originated.

Commercially, Ecomoni operates a sales-led, consultation-based go-to-market targeting Dutch B2B customers, with no published pricing, no self-serve channel, and revenue derived from a mix of sensor hardware deployment, managed monitoring services, and recurring data/analysis subscriptions. The company is privately held, based in Zwolle (KVK 95514511), has a 5-person team of three founders plus two full-stack developers, and has disclosed one named enterprise reference (Schiphol Trade Park). No funding rounds or revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Sensor hardware and monitoring systems: Ecomoni designs and deploys sensor systems that function long-term in the field with minimal disturbance. The company builds and manages end-to-end measurement solutions from sensors in the field to data interpretation.
2. Continuous monitoring services: Ongoing data collection, automated reading, and analysis services. Data reliably captured and securely made available so observations remain comparable over time and usable for analysis and reporting.
3. Ecological analysis and interpretation: Data serves as the basis for ecological analysis, assessment, and decision-making, performed by ecologists, managers, and knowledge partners. The platform shifts monitoring from snapshot to reality.

Core offering

Ecomoni designs, deploys, and manages IoT sensor systems for continuous biodiversity monitoring. The company combines multiple sensor types (audio, presence, image, environmental) with proprietary AI algorithms for automatic species recognition, and delivers data-driven ecological insights to organizations in the Netherlands. Their integrated platform shifts ecological monitoring from point-in-time field visits to continuous, objective, and scalable observation across days, nights, and seasons.

Product overview

Ecomoni offers a unified biodiversity monitoring platform that combines sensor technology, AI, and data analysis into a single integrated solution. The platform operates through multiple sensor types including audio (bio-acoustics for identifying birds, bats, and insects), presence detection, image capture, and environmental/climate measurements. Key product features include Aanwezigheidsdetectie (presence detection), Bio-akoestiek (bio-acoustics for species identification), Digitaal transect (digital transect monitoring), Nestkastmonitor/NestMoni (nest box monitoring), and Insecten monitoring (automated insect population monitoring). All modules are powered by proprietary algorithms for automatic species recognition and continuous data collection, enabling ecologists, land managers, and developers to make evidence-based decisions about landscape design, management, and nature development.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Aanwezigheidsdetectie (Presence Detection) Detects whether and when a nest box or habitat area is actually used. Shows activity as a continuous pattern over time without repeated field visits, and is expandable with microclimate sensor technology.
• Bio-akoestiek (Bio-acoustics) Continuous bird sound monitoring that identifies which bird species are present in an area, creating a complete and objective picture based on structural observation rather than assumptions or isolated counts.
• Digitaal transect (Digital Transect) Digital variant of the transect method that measures changes in biodiversity structurally over time across an entire area. A baseline measurement forms the starting point; follow-up measurements show which interventions are effective.
• Nestkastmonitor / NestMoni Makes visible what food parent birds collect for their young, such as insects and caterpillars. Provides insight into local food supply and therefore the quality of the habitat, with data valuable for ecological analysis.
• Insectenmonitoring (Insect Monitoring) Automated insect monitoring using camera measurements and image analysis to continuously monitor insect populations, providing insight into numbers, activity, and changes over time.
• Ecomoni Platform Integrated biodiversity monitoring platform combining sensor technology, AI, and data analysis. The platform supports ecologists, managers, and developers in making evidence-based decisions about landscape design, management, and nature development through continuous, automated measurements.

Quantifiable outcome

• Five times more bird species detected than initially assumed

Broad incumbents

• EarthRanger: EarthRanger is a conservation technology platform that integrates real-time data from sensors, wildlife tracking devices, and field teams for protected-area management. It is comparable as a field-data platform for ecological and wildlife decision-making, though it is broader than biodiversity measurement alone.

Direct peers

• NatureMetrics: NatureMetrics provides biodiversity monitoring and nature intelligence for corporates, land managers, and conservation users, primarily using eDNA and analytics. It is comparable at the customer-need and reporting layer even though its core measurement modality differs from Ecomoni's sensor platform.
• FaunaPhotonics: FaunaPhotonics develops automated insect-monitoring sensor systems for measuring insect activity and biodiversity. It is comparable to Ecomoni's camera- and sensor-based insect monitoring, though with a narrower focus on insect detection.
• Rainforest Connection: Rainforest Connection operates acoustic monitoring technology and the Arbimon platform for AI-assisted ecoacoustic biodiversity analysis. It is comparable because both companies use audio sensors and algorithms to monitor wildlife continuously in the field.
• Pivotal: Pivotal provides biodiversity measurement and nature intelligence for businesses and land-related projects. It is highly comparable because it also targets evidence-based biodiversity assessment using technology-enabled monitoring and analytics for organizations with nature-reporting needs.
• Wildlife Acoustics: Wildlife Acoustics sells bioacoustic monitoring recorders and analysis software used to detect birds, bats, frogs, and other wildlife. It directly overlaps with Ecomoni's bio-acoustic monitoring module and wildlife sensor-based data collection.

Emerging players

• Dendra Systems: Dendra Systems uses drones, AI, and ecological analytics to support ecosystem restoration and land management. It is comparable through technology-enabled habitat monitoring and biodiversity-related insights, but its core emphasis is restoration operations and aerial data rather than Ecomoni's ground sensor network.
• Wildlife Insights: Wildlife Insights is a camera-trap data and AI platform for identifying and analyzing wildlife images. It overlaps with Ecomoni's image-based fauna and insect monitoring, but is more focused on camera-trap workflows and global conservation datasets.
• Upstream Tech: Upstream Tech provides remote monitoring and analytics for conservation, land management, and nature-based projects using satellite data and machine learning. It is comparable at the environmental monitoring and land-management decision layer, though its sensing modality is remote imagery rather than in-field IoT sensors.

Others

• Open Acoustic Devices: Open Acoustic Devices develops AudioMoth and related acoustic logging hardware used by researchers and conservation teams for wildlife monitoring. It is comparable as a bioacoustic hardware ecosystem participant, though it is more of an enabling device supplier than an end-to-end monitoring service provider.
