Creating healthier environments across industrial facilities

Airscan measures and shapes environmental conditions across industrial facilities to reduce health risk, support production requirements, and manage operational exposure.

Industrial environments are shaped by production demands, safety constraints, and continuous exposure to process-genrated stressors. Airborne contaminants, heat, noise, and visual strain are not incidental conditions; they are inherent to how industrial facilities operate. These factors interact with one another, influencing worker health, cognitive performance, and the likelihood of operational error.

Managing these environments require more than periodic checks. Environmental conditions fluctuate with production cycles, equipment use, and occupancy patterns while regulatory thresholds often lag behind the latest understanding of health risk. 

Airscan supports industrial and manufacturing operators by turning these fluctuating conditions into measurable systems that can be understood, managed, and improved.

60x

IEQ optimisation can yield a 60x return on investment from productivity gains and health savings.

74%

Human performance shows meaningful reductions across 6/9 critical decision-making metrics when CO₂ levels rise from 600 ppm to 1,000 ppm.

20%

Changes in ventilation, filtration, and indoor environmental controls have been shown to lower respiratory infection incidence by 9-20%.

Environmental quality solutions tailored for industrial facilities

Airscan works with industrial and manufacturing operators to actively shape environmental conditions in support of human health, cognitive function, and operational safety – within facilities that must remain productive, compliant, and continuously operational.

Industrial processes generate pollutants that are difficult to detect through intermittent testing alone. Airscan applies continuous indoor air quality monitoring to make airborne risks visible, actionable, and controllable within active production environments.

Detection of process-generated particulates and fumes

Identify elevated concentrations of PM₁, PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, and VOCs associated with specific operations such as welding, machining, solvent use, or additive manufacturing - enabling targeted mitigation at source rather than reliance on broad, inefficient ventilation strategies.

Task-level and operational hotspot mapping

Map where and when exposure peaks occur across shifts, zones, and production stages using continuous sensor networks - supporting refinement of zoning, task allocation, and engineering controls based on observed operating conditions.

Early detection of fugitive emissions and boundary risks

Support early detection of leaks or unintended emissions through monitoring across internal zones and facility boundaries, helping reduce workforce exposure while limiting risk to surrounding areas and communities.

Industrial ventilation must balance contaminant control, energy use, and process constraints. Airscan applies data-driven ventilation strategies to advance environmental conditions that support human health and safety without compromising production.

Demand-driven ventilation based on real-time conditions

Adjust ventilation rates using live pollutant and occupancy data to deliver adequate air exchange precisely when and where it is required while avoiding unnecessary energy load.

Verification of ventilation effectiveness in active spaces

Validate whether venitlation strategies deliver the intended conditions across operating environments, ensuring control logic translates into measurable improvement in occupied areas.

Implementation support for hygienic zoning and pressure control

Use environmental data to support zoning strategies that separate high-risk and low-risk areas through pressure differentials and targeted filtration, protecting both workers and sensitive processes.

Certifcation delivery and verification services translate environmental data into recognized performance outcomes relevant to industrial operators.

Human performance-aligned certification delivery

Airscan supports frameworks such as WELL and LEED by aligning measured environmental conditions with criteria related to health, cognition and comfort.

Independent verification of operating conditions

Independent third-party testing and documentation to validate that environments perform as intended during occupancy and active use. Airscan is an accredited WELL Performance Testing Organization.

Re-certification and audit support

Supply ongoing performance data required for periodic audits and re-certification, reducing administrative and evidentiary burden.

Indoor air quality testing is used in industrial settings to establish clarity ant specific moments – when facilities change, when complaints arise, or when compliance must be demonstrated.

Baseline establishment for active industrial environments

Conduct structured, short-term measurement of key indoor environmental parameters to establish baseline conditions following new facility commissioning, process changes, or major refurbishments.

Targeted diagnostics for worker health complaints

Investigate specific reports of irritation, fatigue, or respiratory symptoms by isolating environmental contributors associated with Sick Building Syndrome or acute exposure events.

Point-in-time compliance verification

Assess adherence to applicable regulatory thresholds, including OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits, through defensible, documented measurement campaigns.

Ventilation performance profiling

Evaluate whether existing ventilation systems are delivering air volumes and quality consistent with their intended design parameters under operating conditions.

Industrial facilities do not operate in isolation. Indoor conditions are continuously influenced by surrounding traffic, neighbouring industries, emissions, and site layout. Airscan applies outdoor air quality monitoring to deliver the environmental context required to interpret indoor conditions and guide effective responses.

Integrated indoor-outdoor environmental context

Measure ambient outdoor conditions alongside indoor air quality to understand how external pollution sources influence indoor exposure across time, weather patterns, and operational states.

Pollution ingress and intake risk assessment

Assess air quality near ventilation intakes and building perimeters to identify when outdoor pollutants are being drawn into indoor environments, informing ventilation strategy and intake management.

Boundary and fence-line exposure intelligence

Deploy perimeter monitoring to characterize how emissions behave at site boundaries, supporting proactive management of workforce exposure and off-site impact.
