What does GIDI’s AI emissions-monitoring concept measure?
A systems view of personnel exposure, equipment temperature, particulates, gaseous emissions and visible smoke.
GIDI’s monitoring concept combines fixed or mobile sensors, thermal imaging, visual evidence, drones where legally and operationally suitable, and a management dashboard. Candidate variables include personnel exposure, equipment temperature, PM2.5/PM10, CO, CO₂, NOx and visible smoke. Instrument selection and data quality must match the intended decision or claim.
METHOD & INTERPRETATION
Map the source and receptor
Connect emitting equipment, wind or ventilation, work zones and personnel location rather than presenting isolated sensor readings.
Separate screening from compliance
Low-cost sensors can support trends and alerts; regulatory or contractual claims may require reference-grade instruments and prescribed methods.
Create actionable thresholds
Define normal, caution and high-risk conditions, responsible personnel, alert channels and response procedures before deployment.
Link monitoring to MRV
Time-align intervention, equipment load, fuel, maintenance and environmental data so performance changes can be investigated.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions institutional reviewers usually ask.
Is a drone required?
No. The monitoring architecture can use fixed, handheld, vehicle-mounted or aerial devices depending on the site.
Can AI replace calibrated instruments?
No. AI can organize, detect patterns and support decisions, but measurement quality depends on suitable instruments, calibration and methods.
What notifications are proposed?
Potential channels include a mobile app, site lights and alarms, and a management-centre dashboard.
Can monitoring be purchased separately?
The concept is positioned as a standalone service, a field-project add-on, an annual subscription or part of a government demonstration.
