Bosch and the Karlsruhe-based measuring technology specialist Palas GmbH have collaborated to improve air quality. First projects with integrators both inside and outside Germany are already in preparation and are slated to start shortly.
The benefit of this alliance will be a comprehensive portfolio for environmentally sensitive urban traffic management and for the fenceline monitoring of the concentration of substances in the air at companies’ property lines.
Under this, Palas will supply comprehensive know-how and technology for measuring a wide variety of gases and airborne particles. It will also add the Environmental Connected Box (ECoB) measurement device developed by Bosch to its own portfolio and expand its product range.
Meanwhile, Bosch will contribute cloud-based services such as device management and a software model that generates traffic emission data in real-time. In addition, dispersion models help locate pollution hot spots so pinpointed countermeasures can be defined.
Working with specialised integrators coordinating all the partners involved in a project, Bosch and Palas will support city authorities and the operators of large industrial complexes.
Christoph Kern, Head, Connected Powertrain Solution Business Unit, Bosch, stated that with its analyses and simulations, Bosch technology complements Palas’s measuring technology.
This allows the actual number and placement of measurement devices required in the long term to be determined and put into cost-efficient operation in cities and at industrial sites.
Dr Maximilian Weiß, CEO, Palas, said that combining the company’s measurement devices and Bosch cloud services can help satisfy air pollution limits now and in the future.
