Compair And Hark Announce Partnership
IoT technology platform, Hark, has been enlisted by CompAir to help deliver cutting edge data and analytics for its air quality hardware devices.
Initially, Hark is providing recommendations around device connectivity before transitioning to being a conduit for the data via analytics, alerts and notifications. CompAir has licensed the Hark platform for 12 months.
Construction companies will be able to better track air quality and take instant remedial action (like slowing down or damping down) to avoid exceeding air pollution limits before it enters nearby communities or triggers site shut-downs.
Founded by Guy Monson and Mike Coombes in 2019, CompAir worked with University College London to develop a small, portable air pollution monitor - the Airtracker - which uses precision laser-optical technology to examine the air.
The Airtracker detects key airborne pollutants including CO2, VOC and PM2.5 particulate matter which is emitted from engines, factories and other sources of combustion which the WHO estimates to be the cause of more than 4 million premature deaths a year.
Airtrackers send air quality data via 3G/4G to cloud storage which can be accessed via the Hark Platform.
Jordan Appleson, CEO & Co-founder, Hark: "We're really excited to be working with CompAir, who are leading the way when it comes to tracking air quality with their innovative Airtracker devices.
"It's becoming increasingly important to have a clear understanding of air quality both on site, and in surrounding areas such as schools and parks.
"With the Hark platform, CompAir users will be able to not only access these crucial air quality insights, but act on them in real time to ensure the safety and wellbeing of local communities."
Guy Monson, Co-founder, CompAir: "CompAir is all about offering affordable and actionable insights and Hark's technological and data management expertise will massively enhance the way our customers draw insights around air quality, helping them to reduce it at source.
"We're looking forward to working with their team to unlock the full potential of our Airtracker devices, which are essential in ensuring the safety of those who work on, or live nearby, construction sites in the UK."
