Automated airquality monitoring provides more options over using handheld units occasionally. Mapping data trends becomes possible thanks to continuous surveillance and a permanent data flux. We have a higher detection capability for small variations and can trigger automated alarms if predefined thresholds are reached, improving reaction time while lowering costs. But things get even better […]
The world’s first mobile phone with air quality sensors
Caterpillar Inc., a world-renowned manufacturer of construction machinery and mining equipment, recently anounced the S61 – a smartphone equiped with a VOC sensor (volatile organic compounds), making it the world’s first mobile phone capable of detecting toxic chemicals in the air. S61 Smartphone Air quality history data The smartphone was presented at the Mobile World […]
Metal Oxide VOC Sensors
VOC sensors are nothing new to this project, we’ve used them intensively in the uRADMonitor hardware units. Back in 2015, the Bosch BME680 was integrated into the uRADMonitor model D, followed by the model A3 using the same excellent sensor. Now the uRADMonitor AIR, our first wearable, relies on the BME680 again for a low […]
uRADMonitor Model A3
uRADMonitor Model A3 is a fixed monitoring station designed to measure a total of 8 important parameters related to pollution and air quality, continuing the environmental monitoring direction that was introduced by the Model D. It was first announced in June 2016, initially being deployed in public transportation, marking our company’s first steps towards the […]
