Airly launch AI service to extract and present air quality data

Air quality monitoring specialists Airly has announced the launch of Airly Fact Sheets, an optional new addition to their online Platform.

Airly’s Marta Steiner explains: ‘This new facility utilises automation and AI to dramatically enhance and speed up the creation of air quality reports.

‘Many of our customers need to engage with local organisations such as schools and hospitals in matters relating to air quality. To achieve this, they were previously painstakingly creating leaflets and newsletters featuring data from Airly sensors.

‘However, this was a slow, laborious process, so we developed ‘Airly Fact Sheets’ so that they could create professional, informative leaflets that provided information and insights that members of the public could easily understand.’

Airly’s air quality sensors can gather an enormous amount of data, so the Fact Sheets function has been created to ensure that these organisations can extract maximum value from the data that they are generating.

Users can choose add the Fact Sheets facility to their Airly Dashboard, which will allow them to create bespoke templates with their own logos, images and whatever air quality or health related information they prefer to include.

They can then select the air quality index or parameters that they wish to display, and the timescale required, and an appropriate document will be automatically created, with AI generated insights based on the data. For example, if NO2 levels are high during the selected period, the report could explain the likely sources and the potential health impacts. Every brochure can be exported as a pdf for printing or digital circulation.

The company have found that early users of the facility have found the Fact Sheets useful in a variety of ways, improving the understanding of air quality issues within local communities schools and other public bodies. They have also helped engage with parents on the impacts of vehicles outside schools, and with local residents when implementing air quality mitigation, or when considering planning and development proposals.

Marta concludes: ‘Continuous air quality monitoring data presents a fantastic opportunity to better understand the sources of pollution and the health impacts that they incur. However, the opportunities for improvement will be significantly lower if the data is not presented in an easy-to-understand format. The new AI-powered Fact Sheets facility will therefore help to ensure that local authorities, schools and health authorities are able to quickly and easily generate valuable air quality insights.’
