Key Benefits of AQBot^TM

Time-efficient air quality monitoring

 

Keeping up with a world where everything is getting faster than ever, we aim to provide high-speed air quality monitoring. Therefore, our industrial air monitor offers quick sensing for threshold-based alerts. Next, the real-time display sets AQBot^TM apart from all other monitors. The display makes it much simpler to check the data without the need for any external device. Finally, AQBot^TM is effortless and easy to install, with versatile mounting arrangements.

Enhanced and accurate data

 

At the end of the day, getting precise data matters. The industrial air monitor provides accurate data to detect ppb concentrations. Likewise, it offers data integrations to match industry standards. Furthermore, the in-built relay operation increases the alert and automation capabilities. On top of it, AQBot^TM offers data transmissions through several channels. Additionally, the monitor comes with a siren and strobe for audio and visual alerts in case of any atmospheric hazard. Lastly, the industrial conditions where air monitoring devices are installed are often quite harsh. Thus, to sustain all those extreme conditions, AQBot’s enclosure is NEMA 4X approved and very robustly built. 

However, AQBot^TM also offers several features that make air quality monitoring quicker, smarter, and more cost-efficient than before.

Calibration

Accuracy is an extremely essential factor and one of the main priorities when it comes to air quality monitoring. All of our devices go through a three-level calibration process. 

Factory Calibration- Factory calibration is performed by the sensor manufacturing partners. This process ensures that all the sensors are functioning as per the requirement.

Laboratory Calibration– In laboratory calibration, the assembled AQBot^TM devices are calibrated with pure air and NIST traceable calibration gases. Zero and span calibration is performed in a clean and controlled laboratory setting. This is done to determine the sensor offset or gain error if any. The PM sensors are collocated against a reference system- Met One BAM 1020. Every AQBot^TM is dispatched with a calibration certificate generated by a NABL/ISO IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.

On-site Calibration-Using a zero air cylinder or a generator, users can now calibrate the AQBot^TM at their premises without the need to de-install the unit. The AQBot connects using tubing and external attachments. The calibration module in the on-device data visualization software allows the user to apply drift to any change in the sensor readings.

Data Visualisation

 

An on-device software allows users to access the data, and configure the network and sensors without the internet. Users can also connect AQBotTM to their smart devices. They can view real-time data, perform on-site calibration, and change network and sensor configuration. Users can visualize and analyze the data on Envizom^TM. The software has several modules like Overview, Dashboard, Cluster, Display, Reports, Alerts, Analytics, User & Device management, etc. Also, data can be accessed through API integration to 3rd party apps. For instance, Oizom provides APIs for integration with customers’ applications. Further, the user can also enable smart notifications based on alerts set on threshold data.
