The Challenge
CosaTron, a company that provides high-value, remote air quality monitoring services for building owners and facilities managers, faced a significant challenge due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The urgency to monitor indoor air quality increased exponentially among their customers. This was primarily due to the heightened awareness and concern about the spread of the virus in enclosed spaces. Additionally, customers expressed a need to review the indoor air quality themselves. This requirement posed a challenge for CosaTron as it necessitated a solution that could provide real-time, remote monitoring of indoor air quality sensors, which was not part of their existing service offerings.
