Air Quality Monitoring

Warehouse air quality monitoring that covers every zone, every shift

VOCs, indoor air quality index, temperature, humidity — measured continuously across your entire facility by sensors that ride your forklifts. No fixed infrastructure. No blind spots.

The Problem

The air in your warehouse contains hazards you can't see

Workers breathe warehouse air 8-12 hours a day. Without monitoring, VOCs from everyday materials accumulate silently. Some are carcinogenic. OSHA requires employers to address recognized hazards — but you can't address what you don't measure.

Volatile Organic Compounds

Formaldehyde, toluene, xylene, and acetone from packaging, adhesives, paints, and cleaning agents. Long-term exposure linked to cancer, liver damage, and respiratory disease.

Sources: packaging, shrink wrap, floor coatings, cleaning agents

Carbon Monoxide & CO2

Propane and diesel forklifts emit CO in enclosed spaces. Elevated CO2 from poor ventilation causes headaches, fatigue, and impaired decision-making at concentrations workers can't detect.

Sources: propane forklifts, poor ventilation, combustion

Particulate Matter

Dust from cardboard, wood pallets, and material handling. PM2.5 and PM10 particles penetrate deep into lungs. Concentrations spike during high-activity shifts.

Sources: pallets, cardboard, tire wear, concrete dust

Temperature Extremes

Ambient zones next to cold storage create sharp temperature gradients. Workers transitioning between zones face thermal stress. Equipment and products degrade in uncontrolled conditions.

Mixed-temperature facilities, seasonal extremes

Humidity & Mold Risk

Excess humidity promotes mold growth on products and infrastructure. Low humidity causes static buildup and respiratory irritation. Both damage product quality and worker health.

Cold chain transitions, seasonal conditions, poor HVAC

Battery Charging Off-Gas

Forklift battery charging areas emit hydrogen gas and other compounds. Inadequate ventilation in charging zones creates both explosion risk and chronic exposure concerns.

The Mobile Advantage

Fixed sensors miss zones. Handheld monitors miss shifts. Forklifts miss nothing.

Your forklifts already travel every aisle, every zone, every shift. OneTrack turns them into a mobile environmental monitoring network — collecting air quality data from BLE beacons as they drive their normal routes.

Wall-Mounted Sensors
Fixed approach
  • WiFi gateways and power wiring
  • Coverage limited to sensor locations
  • Dead zones between sensors
  • Expensive to scale
  • IT project to deploy
Handheld Monitors
Manual approach
  • Requires someone to walk around
  • Spot-checks, not continuous data
  • Inconsistent measurement locations
  • No automated logging
  • Doesn't scale across shifts
OneTrack Mobile Collection
Forklift-powered
  • Battery-powered BLE — no wiring
  • Every aisle, every zone, every shift
  • Hundreds of readings per shift
  • Automated logging and alerts
  • Deploy in hours, not weeks

What We Measure

Enterprise-grade sensors. Real-time air quality intelligence.

Each BLE sensor measures VOC concentration and calculates IAQ using Bosch's patented algorithm — combined with temperature and humidity for a complete picture of indoor conditions.

VOC Concentration

Continuous measurement of volatile organic compounds. Detect accumulation from cleaning agents, paints, solvents, adhesives, and packaging off-gassing.

Parts per billion sensitivity

IAQ Index (0-500)

Composite air quality score using Bosch's patented algorithm. One number that tells you whether a zone is safe — no interpretation required.

Temperature & Humidity

Combined environmental monitoring for complete indoor climate picture. Correlate air quality changes with temperature and humidity shifts.

Full environmental profile

Zone-Level Alerts

Threshold-based notifications when any zone crosses safety limits. Route alerts to the right person — facility manager, EHS lead, or shift supervisor.

Per-zone, per-shift alerting

Facility Heatmaps

Visualize air quality across your entire floor plan. Identify problem zones, track patterns over time, and compare across shifts and seasons.

Spatial + temporal analysis

Compliance Documentation

Automated logging for OSHA, EPA, and internal EHS audits. Continuous records replace manual spot-checks. Always audit-ready.

Understanding IAQ

Indoor Air Quality Index: one number, one decision

The IAQ Index uses Bosch's patented algorithm to combine VOC, temperature, and humidity into a single 0-500 score. No interpretation needed — green means safe, red means act now.

0-50
Excellent
Clean air. No action needed.
51-100
Good
Acceptable. Monitor normally.
101-150
Moderate
Sensitive groups may notice. Investigate source.
151-200
Poor
Health effects likely. Increase ventilation.
201-500
Hazardous
Immediate action required. Evacuate if necessary.

Use Cases

Where air quality monitoring prevents real problems

Warehousing & Distribution

Protect workers from invisible VOC buildup

Shrink wrap machines, cleaning chemicals, and floor coatings release VOCs that accumulate over shifts. Continuous monitoring detects buildup before workers report symptoms.

Manufacturing

Monitor production floor air quality

Paints, solvents, adhesives, and process chemicals create variable air quality across zones. Mobile collection maps exactly where and when conditions degrade.

Cold Chain & Food

Environmental compliance across temperature zones

Facilities with ambient, refrigerated, and freezer zones need monitoring at every transition point. Combined temperature, humidity, and air quality data for complete compliance.

Battery & Charging Areas

Detect off-gassing in charging zones

Forklift battery charging releases hydrogen and other gases. Monitor charging areas continuously for gas accumulation — especially in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.
