Ozone Gas Detection for Safety and Disinfection Validation

An Industrial Safety & Process Control Case Study

How we deployed ozone gas detectors to ensure operator safety and validate disinfection effectiveness in a controlled, measurable, and auditable manner.

The Problem

Safety Risks and Unverified Processes

The customer's ozone-based disinfection system lacked continuous monitoring, creating safety hazards for operators near the generator and leaving disinfection effectiveness unverified. Manual checks were infrequent and provided no historical data for audits.

Key Pain Points

Safety Blindspots: No real-time alerts for hazardous ozone leaks.

Process Guesswork: Lack of data to confirm if disinfection was successful.

Compliance Gaps: No auditable records of safety or process parameters.

Solution Architecture

The Brains of the Smart System

At the heart of our gas detection solution is a powerful IoT development board. This system integrates calibrated electrochemical sensors with an edge controller, processes data locally, and ensures secure, reliable communication with the cloud for real-time monitoring, alerts, and historical data logging.

Our Solution

A Distributed IoT-Based Ozone Monitoring System

We implemented a distributed ozone gas detection solution using calibrated sensors integrated with a central IoT monitoring platform for real-time visibility and control.

Multi-Point Detection

Sensors were placed at the generator (safety), contact tank (effectiveness), and outlet (residual check) for full system visibility.

IoT System Architecture

Electrochemical sensors fed data to an edge controller, which securely transmitted it to a cloud platform for dashboards, alerts, and reporting.

Safety & Compliance

Thresholds based on occupational exposure limits triggered instant audio/visual alarms and mobile notifications to ensure rapid response.
