History.
Spensa 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 and private investment, Spensa expanded its operations 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.
Spensa was acquired in April 2018 by Minneapolis-based DTN.
