Key features of SiteHive Hexanode Dust devices
Real-time PM2.5 and PM10 monitoring
SiteHive Hexanode Dust delivers continuous, real-time data on airborne particulate matter to help you understand what’s happening on your site at all times. This supports rapid response and ensures ongoing compliance with regulatory standards.
Directional dust mapping
Using wind data and advanced algorithms, SiteHive Hexanode Dust detects the direction of dust events, allowing you to pinpoint sources quickly. This is visualised on the SiteHive Dashboard map, giving you immediate, actionable insights into where dust is coming from.
Event-based image capture
Every dust event is now contextualised with a time-stamped image, captured automatically when thresholds are exceeded. This makes dust sources easier to identify, as well as providing visibility and evidence-based reporting for stakeholders, clients, or regulators.
By visually linking events to site activity, you can clearly see whether dust was caused by onsite work, vehicle movement, weather, or offsite factors.
Reliable measurements, whatever the conditions
SiteHive Hexanode Dust uses advanced sensors, innovative airflow engineering and real-time humidity modulation technology to deliver highly accurate results, even in challenging conditions like rain, fog or high humidity.
- A new sensor design provides 5x greater airflow to deliver more accurate results
- Innovative dust modulation technology adapts for humid conditions in real time to ensure reliable results in all conditions
- The new device is precision-designed and engineered throughout to capture and analyse dust accurately
This ensures that your data is reliable in all weather, reducing unnecessary alerts and improving confidence in reporting.
4G, roaming and WiFi for better connectivity
The new SiteHive Hexanode Dust includes 4G connectivity, and allows data roaming so you can select the best network. It also has Wi-Fi connectivity.
This ensures the device is online even in remote, difficult or high-interference environments.
Compact, durable, and easy to deploy
As with all SiteHive Hexanode devices, the Dust module is built for robust, field-ready use. It’s compact enough to be deployed anywhere, and rugged enough to withstand construction site and heavy industrial conditions.
Setup is simple and automated. It doesn’t require any technical expertise, so it can be deployed – and moved – quickly and easily by anyone.
Manage Noise and Dust together in one compact device
All the features of SiteHive Hexanode Dust are also available in tandem with SiteHive’s next-generation noise monitoring. SiteHive Hexanode Noise+Dust provides smart, proactive monitoring of dust and noise in one compact device. So you can monitor two aspects in one, and benefit from easier deployment, simpler setup and lower costs.
Integrated with SiteHive Enviro & SiteHive Enviro Pro
All data from SiteHive Hexanode Dust is seamlessly synced with the cloud-based SiteHive Enviro platform. Here you can monitor activity and manage compliance across multiple monitoring points from a single dashboard. And because it’s cloud-based, you don’t need to be on site: you can manage activities from wherever you happen to be.
With SiteHive Enviro you can:
- Monitor all activity from a single dashboard
- See an interactive map that shows all your Monitoring Points, with dust levels and direction of arrival mapping clearly visible
- View real-time dust data graphs and trend analysis
- Set up automated SMS or email alerts
- Generate PDF reports with one click
- See contextual media and information, including images, weather data, wind direction, and more.
This integration turns SiteHive Hexanode Dust from a monitoring tool into a full-featured dust management solution that makes it so much easier to proactively manage and mitigate dust on your site.
