The Foundation of Accuracy – Polludrone’s Sensor Technology
When it comes to air quality monitoring, accuracy starts at the sensor level. Polludrone is built with high-precision, industrial-grade sensors calibrated to global standards. From PM to gases, weather, and noise, each parameter is measured with reliability you can trust.
High-Precision Sensors for PM, Gases, Noise & Weather
Polludrone combines multiple advanced sensors in a single unit to offer accurate and real-time environmental monitoring. It measures particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), a wide range of gases (like NO₂, CO, O₃, SO₂), ambient noise in dB(A), and essential weather parameters like temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall, and solar radiation. For PM monitoring, it uses laser-based light scattering sensors, and for gases, it utilizes reliable electrochemical, NDIR, and MPS sensors, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity.
MCERTS, NIST-Traceable Calibration, and QA/QC Protocols
Data accuracy isn’t just a feature, it’s a promise backed by certifications. Polludrone uses MCERTS-certified PM sensors and follows a strict calibration process with NIST-traceable gas standards. Each sensor undergoes zero and span calibration in a controlled lab setting, adhering to Section 12.2 of the USEPA Quality Assurance Handbook. QA/QC protocols are also in place, ensuring that every device meets global standards before deployment. This gives confidence to users from environmental consultants to compliance officers that the data is reliable for audits, reports, and real-time actions.
Auto-Calibration for Real-World Reliability
For gas sensors, auto-calibration routines run periodically to maintain baseline accuracy, reducing the need for frequent field recalibration. Integrating machine learning into our air quality monitors will revolutionize the hybrid model and remote calibration capabilities, making them more efficient and user-friendly.
Whether you’re deploying in a dusty industrial zone or a humid coastal city, Polludrone’s sensor technology is designed for real-world performance, accurate, consistent, and built to last.
How Polludrone Ensures Reliable, Actionable Data?
In the world of environmental monitoring, accuracy means nothing if the data isn’t reliable over time. Polludrone is designed not only to deliver real-time insights but also to maintain consistency through robust calibration practices and smart design choices. Whether deployed in cities, industrial zones, or research sites, it provides dependable data that decision-makers can trust.
Real-Time Monitoring with Low Data Drift
Polludrone continuously monitors air quality with minimal data drift, even in challenging outdoor conditions. This is achieved through its built-in temperature and humidity compensation algorithms, as well as the use of high-quality sensors for gases, particulate matter (PM), weather, and noise. The system’s rapid sensor stabilization ensures that measurements are accurate and actionable shortly after deployment, making it ideal for scenarios that demand timely responses.
Factory + Field Calibration Standards
Every Polludrone unit undergoes rigorous factory calibration using NIST-traceable gas standards and is further field-calibrated as per project needs. The calibration process aligns with guidelines from the USEPA QA Handbook, including zero and span checks to ensure consistency in real-world environments. This two-step calibration approach minimizes errors and ensures high data confidence across all monitored parameters.
