Scentroid's Solution for
Wildfire Smoke Detection & Monitoring
The combination of stationary monitoring, drone-based mobile monitoring, and personal safety device monitoring provides a comprehensive 3 tiered approach to forest fire smoke monitoring.
Stationary Monitoring Devices provide continuous monitoring of air quality in the forest or nearby residential area. It collects valuable real-time data of air quality to differentiate any forest fire and monitoring the growth of the fire.
Drone-Based Mobile Monitoring Devices offer an additional layer of monitoring, enabling the detection of hot-spots and hard-to-reach areas, along with providing more granular data on the spatial and temporal patterns of the smoke.
Personal Safety Monitoring Devices provide real-time data on workers exposure levels, ensuring individual workers are protected from potential health hazards.
Stationary Equipment
Smoke from wildfires is a mixture of particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10), gaseous pollutants (e.g., carbon monoxide), hazardous air pollutants (e.g., volatile organic compounds), and water vapor. Consequently, our stationary equipment is able to continuously monitor the concentration of these pollutants. In addition, it provides email or SMS notifications to authorized users about potentially harmful levels.

Smoke Detection
The use of air quality monitoring equipment for smoke detection in wildfires is essential for early detection, tracking the spread, and ensuring public safety. Specifically, the Drone-Based Air Quality Monitor DR2000 is particularly valuable, as it provides real-time data on wildfire locations and progression, allowing for timely and accurate response strategies. Moreover, this device can calculate the fire’s spread rate, enhancing firefighting efforts and optimizing resource allocation. In addition, the PMD, a personal air quality monitor that can be attached to clothing, is crucial for ensuring individual safety by continuously monitoring smoke exposure levels.

How Can Scentroid's Technology Help with
Continue Monitoring Wildfire
Once you activate Scentroid’s devices and enter our software SIMS3, we use the collected data to pick up any signs of wildfire or differentiate if it’s a campfire or construction dust. SIMS3 can identify where the smoke comes from, continue monitoring the intensity of the smoke and predict smoke direction. We will help your workers to monitor wildfire at a safe distance.
Predicting Smoke Direction with AI
SIMS3 offers a complete and integrated suite for smoke detection and predicting smoke direction by using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The system provides a perfect blend of real-time smoke impact estimation for neighboring residents and businesses. When it reaches a certain concentration level and approaches residentials area, alarms/notifications will automatically be sent to authorized users.
The AI utilizes both continuous wildfire smoke monitoring and live weather data to calculate a real time plume model, displaying an exact location and spread of smoke emissions. The wildfire smoke analysis will help you find out where and how the wildfire may have started from and possibly how it happened.
Looking for Signs of Wildfire
When there’s potentially a high exposure chance of smoke, DR2000 with Thermal Imaging Camera will measure surface temperatures by interlacing infrared camera stills into video format. If the odour data shows a high concentration of wildfire smoke and the image shows a high temperature surface, user can pick up signs of wildfire immediately.

Wind Speed
Another advantage of using our DR2000 for smoke detection, you can install Weather Station on the drone that collects wind speed and direction data while flying. With the data of temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed, it can assist in determining the spread of wildfire.
SIMS3
Sensor Information Management System
SIMS3 sensor information management software, is our all-inclusive software used to view and analyze historical data, run diagnostics, make predictions, and configure various settings for your supported Scentroid device. It offers a complete and integrated suite for ambient air chemical analysis and odor management. SIMS3 can collect data from thousands of devices covering an entire area, using a unique and highly intuitive area control system.
Powered by
Artificial Intelligence
SIMS3 transforms air quality monitoring and weather prediction with the power of AI. Our user-friendly interface offers intuitive access to a range of features including pollutant threat assessment, air quality alerts, historical data analysis, sample tracking, plume detection and empowering users of all levels to conduct sophisticated data analytics effortlessly.
SIMS3 Analytics
View data in several formats including temporal view, statistical view, AQI Analysis view, and heat map.
Event Analytics
Take your analytic capabilities even further by analyzing your recorded events, event types, and overall event activity. In this module, you will be able to determine your most triggered event type and the days with the highest recorded activity.
Temporal Mode
As shown here in temporal view, the user can Isolate or compare collected sensor data for any user-defined timeframe in an easy to read chart. Any event or event type that occured within the specified timeframe is also tracked.
Statistical Mode
Isolate and determine individual sensor reading trends with our detailed statistical analysis view. Data is presented as percentages vs concentration for quick reference. A data trend guide displays whether your tracked chemical readings are displaying an increase or decrease.
AQI Analysis
Based on established AQI Thresholds (either automatically generated or user-defined), view recorded AQI for any period of time. This module will also allow you to view how many times AQI exceeded these thresholds, and for how long (percentage).
Heat Map
View each individual sensor’s heat map within a user-defined period. Concentration is presented in this format to assist the user with visually defining patterns and trends. Heat map data is presented as date vs. time.
Export Reports
The SIMS3 reporting module provides you with the tools you need to make informed decisions regarding your monitoring projects. At the click of a button, this document generates averages as well as thorough individual sensor reports. Users can schedule weekly, monthly, or annual reports emailed directly to them once generated!
Other Scentroid Services
Seek advice from our odour monitor experts and environmental consultants to help you improve the accuracy and reliability of your monitoring projects.
Air quality mapping, model verification, and analysis of potentially dangerous sites have all now been made possible. While in flight, built-in chemical sensors can provide remote monitoring.
Ground level readings are used by SIMS3 to conduct back-trajectory to identify smoke sources. Continuous pollution data and field olfactometric data are used along with meteorological data to triangulate the exact location of the smoke source.
Scentroid offers a complete and integrated suite for ambient air chemical analysis and odor management, known as SIMS3. Our software utilizes a unique and highly intuitive facility control system, and powerful artificial intelligence to assist you with daily tasks.
We provide you and your department with several reports ranging from SIMS3 outputs, to results based on your requirements. Several report types can be autogenerated using our SIMS3 platform.
During a wildfire, some of the smoke from outdoors can enter inside the building and make it unhealthy to breathe. Our AQmini Monitor will detect whenever a particular room’s air quality drops to below optimal levels.
