// pillar 07 of 08
Emerging technology, with engineering judgement.
IoT, mesh networks and drone/UAV integration — explored as product, not as a demo.
// what it is
What it is.
// context
The problems we usually find.
-
Data that never leaves the equipment
Sensors measure, equipment records, and the information stays locked in files or vendor consoles.
-
Proofs of concept that do not scale
It worked with three devices on a bench. With three hundred in the field, the approach does not hold.
-
Equipment from different vendors that will not talk
Each manufacturer brings its own protocol and console, and operations end up jumping between systems.

Aerisense
Aerisense was created to monitor and improve indoor air quality in homes across the U.S. By combining custom-built hardware with a mobile and web application, the platform enables real-time tracking of installed sensors, manages the installation process, and ensures seamless ongoing operation.
// frequently asked
About Early / R&D Technology.
Is this research or deliverable work?
It is deliverable work with an initial validation phase. The difference from the other pillars is the level of uncertainty: we prove the approach works before committing to a plan.
What experience do you have in this area?
[to validate with the team before publishing] In IoT, the work with air quality sensors in an HVAC context is the closest public example.
Do you work with the hardware or only the software?
[to validate with the team] Our core competence is the software, integration and data layer. Hardware is assessed case by case.
// next step
Shall we talk about your case?
Thirty minutes on early / r&d technology: you describe the problem and we tell you the path we recommend — including when that path is not us.
