nir-vana innovation network

The UK company is a software and data analysis company based in Bristol. The company specialises in extracting value from unutilised or untapped data sources, to produce metrics that are meaningful and actionable. The company follows a “fill in the gaps” approach that uses IoT sensors to collect fleet, machinery, energy, safety and environmental data not covered by pre-existing sensors. Their technology generates KPIs and valuable insights to enable a holistic overview of operations. The company spun out of the University of Bath as a tech start-up in 2016. Having developed sensor systems and an IoT dashboard, the company applied these technologies afresh to industry, having learned that scant data was available by which to make decisions regarding employee health and emissions off-site. The technology measures site activity and pollution using IoT sensors to rank on-site assets by real-world emission levels and highlight risks to staff and the environment. Their new built-in house platform provides a place for both collected and external environmental and asset data to live, enabling organisations in parallel sectors such as ports and construction to visualise and understand their operations all in one place. As part of their platform and data analysis, the company enables real-time notifications, alerting management to potential risks and enabling proactive—rather than reactive—risk management. The company aims to transform the industry’s understanding of pollution and its root causes. They shine a light on the role that site activity plays, to protect people and the environment alike. They work across a range of industries such as rail, healthcare, construction, nuclear and maritime. The UK company seeks commercial agreements with technical assistance to allow them to deploy their software and/or hardware solution on an operational site such as quarry, construction, depot or port.
