Smart Industry Monitoring
NextPM for Industrial Air Quality Monitoring
In modern industry, controlling airborne particles is no longer optional. From protecting sensitive manufacturing processes to ensuring worker health and complying with strict regulations, real-time particulate monitoring has become a cornerstone of smart industry operations.
NextPM enables factories, clean workshops, and HVAC-controlled environments to monitor PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 continuously, even under challenging humidity and temperature conditions. This ensures consistent production quality, reduced downtime, and safer workplaces.
Challenges: Accuracy and Harsh Conditions
Industrial environments often combine dust, fumes, variable humidity, and strong airflow variations, which can lead traditional low-cost PM sensors to fail.
- Accuracy issues: fluctuating humidity causes particles to swell, resulting in misleading measurements.
- Durability problems: moisture and contaminants can damage sensors and increase maintenance.
- Operational risks: unreliable data makes it harder to anticipate filter clogging, identify emission leaks, or maintain compliance with health and safety standards.
Innovative Solutions for Reliable Industrial PM Monitoring
Patented Humidity Control
NextPM integrates an active heating system that removes excess moisture from the airflow, eliminating the “growth factor” effect and ensuring stable, drift-free measurements.
Patented Humidity Control
With its robust design and coarse particle trap, NextPM resists clogging and damage from larger particles, extending sensor lifetime to up to 10 years without maintenance.
Granular Insights
Beyond standard PM1/PM2.5/PM10, NextPM provides 5 particle size channels (0.3 to 5 µm), giving operators valuable insights for predictive maintenance, emission control, and process optimization.
