Development through extensive global co-location comparison trials in all seasons across each continent means AQMesh air quality monitoring systems can operate in the wides possible range of environments and conditions.
Repeatable, traceable results
The carefully developed data processing algorithms used by AQMesh are fully traceable and fixed by version number, and, unlike other systems, have been achieved with no use of machine learning or artificial intelligence.
Improvements in sensor technology and our understanding of how sensors respond in different conditions (from datasets of AQMesh pods co-located with reference stations around the world) have allowed us to make step changes in the accuracy of data. Each of these steps is released as a specific algorithm version, with a version number which is stamped onto each reading: total traceability.
The corrections which make up each algorithm use fixed equations to give total repeatability and this approach has earned the approval of senior air quality experts. This differs fundamentally from Artificial Intelligence (AI) which has its place but, in our opinion, not here. We have tried using AI and have seen how readily calculations can be led by dominant factors beneath the sensor signal, such as environmental conditions.
So what if a new algorithm is released? You have no obligation to adopt it if you are part way through a study, but every AQMesh user, no matter how old their pod, is welcome to take advantage of a new algorithm, at no charge.
More AQMesh benefits
Robust hardware, wireless communications and the secure AQMeshData server mean AQMesh air quality monitors can easily reconnect themselves and continue to capture data if power is ever interrupted.
Email alerts can be set for exceedances on any data channel on the AQMesh air quality monitoring system, completely customisable to the user’s required detection limits and can be integrated into other systems for autonomous control.
AQMesh air quality monitoring system performance and long-term baseline stability has been proven over many years of independent global co-location trials against certified reference equipment.
The AQMesh air quality monitoring system processes and stores all readings on its bespoke secure server which can be accessed by a website login or API to integrate with other systems, or it can be simple emailed to you at your preferred schedule.
Whilst some manufacturers use a calculation to give an NO2 reading, the AQMesh air quality monitoring system uses a unique O3-filtered NO2 sensor for accurate, direct measurement of NO2.
