What Aeroqual does

Aeroqual is a New Zealand-based designer and manufacturer of real-time sensor-based air quality monitoring systems for environmental, industrial, occupational, and community applications. Its product architecture combines fixed fenceline and ambient stations (AQS 1, AQM 65, Dust Sentry, AQY R), portable and handheld monitors (Ranger, Series 300/500/900/930), and a modular layer of swappable gas and particulate sensor heads and analyzer modules (covering O3, NO2, NOx, SO2, CO, CO2, H2S, CH4, VOCs, benzene, BTEX, and PM1/PM2.5/PM4/PM10/TSP). The company's differentiated technical core is its Automatic Baseline Correction (ABC) algorithm, NIST-traceable factory calibration, Thermal Management System for -35°C to +50°C operation, and a cloud platform processing over 6 million datapoints per day at greater than 99% uptime.

Aeroqual monetizes through a mix of hardware sales (fenceline, ambient, portable, and handheld monitors, modules, and accessories) and recurring software subscriptions (Aeroqual Cloud, OneView for remediation compliance, Optimize for network management, Unify for sensor networks, and MOMA for advanced analysis), supplemented by calibration and professional services. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year enterprise contracts; the go-to-market combines direct regional field sales (with a dedicated NAM team), channel relationships with major environmental consultants and engineering firms (AECOM, Jacobs, Arcadis, Langan, Tetra Tech), and government procurement. The customer base spans oil and gas, mining, construction and brownfield remediation, government and municipal air monitoring networks, occupational health and safety, and research institutions across 70+ countries, including NASA, the U.S. EPA, NYC DEP, ExxonMobil, Rio Tinto, and Yale/AECOM-tier consultants.

In December 2025, Aeroqual was acquired by Industrial Scientific, a division of Fortive Corporation (NYSE: FTV), to extend Industrial Scientific's gas-detection portfolio into ambient and fenceline air quality monitoring. Post-acquisition, the company continues to operate under the Aeroqual brand with its New Zealand-based leadership team retained, and is positioned to leverage Fortive's global commercial infrastructure to scale the hardware-plus-software platform into adjacent worker-safety and environmental monitoring markets.

Core offering

Aeroqual designs, manufactures, and sells real-time sensor-based air quality monitoring hardware (fenceline monitors AQS 1 and AQM 65, Dust Sentry, Ranger portable, and AQY R network monitors) and a cloud software platform (Aeroqual Cloud, OneView, Optimize, Unify) that measures up to 20 gaseous and particulate pollutants simultaneously with near-reference accuracy. Hardware sales are complemented by recurring software subscriptions and professional calibration/servicing for environmental, industrial, and government clients.

Product overview

Aeroqual offers an integrated air quality monitoring platform-plus-modules architecture consisting of fixed, portable, and handheld monitoring hardware combined with cloud-based software solutions. The core product portfolio includes fenceline monitors (AQS 1, Dust Sentry, AQM 65), portable monitors (Ranger, Series 300/500), and fixed monitors (Series 900/930), which measure gaseous pollutants (O3, NO2, CO, CO2, SO2, VOCs, H2S, CH4, benzene, NOx), particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10, TSP), and environmental parameters. These hardware platforms integrate with a modular software ecosystem comprising Aeroqual Cloud (remote data management), OneView (remediation compliance), Optimize (network management), Unify (sensor networks), and MOMA (advanced analysis). The AQY R provides a compact option for air quality networks. Supporting accessories include sensors, modules, calibrators, and environmental sensors. All products deliver near-reference accuracy traceable to international standards (NIST, US EPA FEM) with real-time alerting and regulatory compliance features.
