Polludrone

Polludrone mounts on a pole or wall. Connect solar or AC power, or both, switch it on, and it starts sending data to Envizom automatically within a few hours.

Decide by purpose: near a source (at least a few meters away from the direct source) to track emissions, at the boundary for compliance, or in a community area to measure exposure. Make sure the spot has open airflow, network coverage, and sunlight if you are using solar.

Ensure reliable power supply, adequate sunlight, stable mobile or Wi-Fi connectivity, a secure mounting structure, and convenient access for routine maintenance.

Install it in open air with free airflow, about 3 m or more above ground, away from walls, trees and direct sources such as exhausts or chimneys. Choose a spot that represents the air people in the area actually breathe.

Calibration is recommended every 6 to 12 months, with a simple preventive check (cleaning the inlet and outlet filter caps and checking sensor health) every 3 to 6 months.

Yes. Polludrone shares data through REST APIs and supports Modbus, so it can feed SCADA, DCS, or any existing dashboard in addition to Envizom.

Polludrone runs on a solar setup with an external charge controller and external battery, or AC power, and has a 12-hour battery backup. For connectivity, you can choose GSM/LTE, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, LoRa, or Satellite (including Starlink via Ethernet).

Start with the main emission sources, the site boundary, and sensitive areas such as housing, schools, or hospitals. Then add upwind and downwind points, using prevailing wind direction and the area size to decide how many units you need.

Choose a reference-grade CAAQMS when regulation requires certified reference data from a fixed point. Choose a compact sensor-based system when you need real-time data from multiple locations.

Place continuous monitors along the site boundary, covering both upwind and downwind sides, and pair them with wind data. This shows whether emissions are leaving the site and, if so, from which direction.

Install compact, solar-powered monitors at multiple points such as traffic junctions, schools, residential areas, and industrial edges. Connect them to one cloud platform to compare locations and spot pollution hotspots in real time.

Yes. An integrated station such as Polludrone measures particulate matter, gases, noise, and weather in one unit, so all the data is time-matched and visible on a single dashboard.

Look at the parameters covered, data accuracy and calibration method, power and connectivity options, and enclosure durability. Also check the software, alerts, reporting, and after-sales support.
