Dust safety measured.
Not assumed.
Relying on subjective judgments and periodic testing when it comes to dust safety puts you at risk — financially, physically, and legally. We put continuous, accurate combustible and hazardous dust data at your fingertips, so you can know where you stand, rather than planning for the worst.
Continuous dust insights that keep you safe, compliant, and in control
Industrial Intelligence gives manufacturers something they’ve never had before: continuous, validated insight into dust accumulation.
Our products enable teams to:
-
Understand where dust is actually accumulating (and where it’s not)
-
Detect rising risk before it becomes a safety or compliance issue
-
Plan cleaning and mitigation based on data, not worst-case assumptions
-
Procedural method to help determine dust area classification
-
Document decisions with evidence aligned to NFPA 660 compliance requirements
-
Strengthen insurability and enterprise risk profiles through documented, data-backed dust risk management
The result is accurate data, safer operations, and less unnecessary expense.
Why existing dust monitoring methods fall short
This has left manufacturers relying on methods that can’t keep up with real operating conditions or compliance requirements:
-
The overhead visibility gap: Dust accumulation on elevated surfaces, often 20 feet or more above the plant floor, can go unnoticed during routine inspections.
-
Snapshot assessments: Visual inspections, spot checks, and periodic evaluations provide only a momentary picture, failing to capture ongoing accumulation or changing operating conditions.
-
Costly assumptions: Treating all dust as potentially severe can lead to unnecessary remediation and expense.
-
Under NFPA 660, uncertainty can drive up operating costs through excessive cleaning, oversized controls, higher insurance premiums, and operational inefficiencies.
There have traditionally been very few solutions to dust accumulation monitoring that are accessible, scalable, accurate, and affordable.
Dust mapping and monitoring reveal accumulation trends – and necessary safety actions – over time.
Industrial Intelligence combines dust mapping, monitoring, and ongoing analysis to provide real-time data in high risk areas for combustible and hazardous dust conditions.
Together, these solutions create a validated, defensible path to ongoing compliance, safety, and data-driven decision-making.
