“Quantum Outdoor is going to improve so many businesses’ environmental impact management.”: noise measurement expert Craig Storey on the newest remote environmental monitoring solution from Cirrus Research

Cirrus Research很高兴宣布其最新的远程环境监测系统的推出:Quantum Outdoor。Quantum Outdoor以云连通性建立,有望使远程环境监视比以往任何时候都更加直接和访问。量子室外能够测量环境噪音,天气,气体和微粒以及地面振动,是企业和组织的全面解决方案,以全面了解其环境影响。

To mark its launch, I sat down with Craig Storey, one of Cirrus Research’s in-house acoustic experts and a lead project manager of the Quantum product. I wanted to understand more about the problems that Quantum Outdoor will solve and the journey up to this point.

非常感谢您抽出宝贵的时间跟我说话,克雷格。新量子户外远程环境监视器的推出,Cirrus Research的每个人都感到非常兴奋。告诉我您如何参与该项目。

没问题,克拉克。您是对的:对于Cirrus研究来说,这是一个非常激动人心的时刻。Quantum Outdoor与我们以前推出的任何其他乐器不同。它将真正改善人们跟踪环境影响的方式。但是,稍后再详细介绍!这是一个有趣的问题,您问我如何参与该项目。几年前,一个著名的伦敦剧院与我联系,该剧院需要在不同的表演期间不断关注他们在场地的多个位置的噪音水平。我们共同努力开发了一种定制解决方案,该解决方案已演变为量子户外。

That’s fascinating. So, Quantum Outdoor started life as an indoor noise monitor. What made Quantum suitable for the theatre? Why not use one of Cirrus Research’s existing noise measurement instruments?

Like I’ve said, Quantum isn’t like anything we’ve offered before. It’s based entirely around cloud connectivity, rather than being an optional feature like it is with our Environmental Noise Measurement Kit. For the theatre, the solution needed to be something that, once we installed it, could be left alone to do its job. As I’m sure you can imagine, climbing up rigging or scaffolding with a sound level meter isn’t exactly ideal, let alone safe. So, the ability for people to access live and historical noise data from the comfort of their desk on their computer or phone was a real game changer.

I’m glad you mentioned the cloud because it features heavily in all the promotional material for the Quantum Outdoor. Can you tell me a bit more about why cloud connectivity is so important?

拥有云连接使您的噪声数据无限地易于管理。无论您身在何处,一天中的什么时间或您是否在计算机上都没关系。登录任何具有Internet连接的设备上的量子门户并立即访问所有噪声数据非常容易且易于简单。这对于查看实时数据特别有用,因为每个量子监视器将其所有读数直接通过云发送到门户,因此您可以实时查看发生了什么。这对于对他们施加的严格限制的企业很重要,因为它们可以迅速做出响应并进行任何调整以降低噪音水平。

那讲得通。但这并不意味着有人必须在那里不断监视实时数据?否则,任何人将如何know if they need to check in on their noise levels?

That’s a great question. Having someone constantly monitoring the live noise levels isn’t practical or very exciting! So, we’ve made it so that users can get notified when the noise reaches preset levels. People can get notifications on their phones or by email, so they’re always aware of what’s going on without needing to be glued to their screens. The other great thing we can do with the Quantum remote environmental monitoring system is capture an audio recording whenever one of these triggers is set off.

噪声水平的录音将提供什么?当然,如果噪声水平足够高以触发警报,那就足够了吗?

一点也不!录音非常有用,因为它们可以帮助您识别噪声的来源。想象一下,您是住宅区中一家工厂的所有者,您会获得高噪音水平的警报。有了录音,您可以听到它是由一辆大声驾驶的汽车造成的,实际上与您的工厂无关。有了这一水平的信息,您可以对需要采取的任何补救措施做出更有针对性和有效的决策。如果没有音频记录来确定噪音的来源,您将不知道该怎么做才能防止它再次发生。您也可能最终会浪费金钱,以解决不存在的问题!在捍卫噪音投诉时,音频对企业也有益,因为他们可以使用证据来证明其责任。当然,这两种方式都可以!

It really sounds as though Quantum has everythingsomeone could need to manage their noise levels. What can someone do with their historical data other than just view it in the Quantum Portal?

是的,很好的问题。你已经说过了,the Quantum Portal lets people access their live and historical data and view it in all levels of detail. But users can also generate noise measurement reports directly from the Quantum Portal and give them to management to back-up decisions they want to make regarding remedial action. But we’re all about flexibility at Cirrus Research, so we’ve made it possible for people to export their data from the Quantum Portal either into our own software, NoiseTools, or to a spreadsheet file format.

我们已经讨论了Quantum Outdoor如何帮助企业管理其噪音水平。但是,告诉我更多有关系统其他功能的信息。

So, Quantum Outdoor is our first fully integrated remote environmental monitoring system. That means that you have one system that measures multiple things. Quantum Outdoor can measure weather; wind speed and direction; air quality, in terms of gases and particulates; and ground vibration. As with noise, all this data is sent directly to the Quantum Portal via its cloud connectivity, where you view it, analyse it and generate reports. The great thing about the way Quantum displays this data is that you can view it alongside all your noise data, giving you much more context and understanding of what’s happening. If there’s a spike in noise levels and wind speed that coincide, you can assume that the wind is responsible rather than something else.

So, Quantum Outdoor is more than just a noise monitor; it monitors all the parameters that a business or organisation could need to get a complete picture of their environmental impact. I’m sure there are other systems out there that do something similar. So, what makes Quantum Outdoor unique?

可以公平地说,我们不是第一家引入一种衡量一件事的系统。但是我想说的是,有一些关键的事情使量子在市场上的其他远程环境监测系统中脱颖而出。首先是系统完整性检查,量子室外将进行扫描以评估其测量的准确性。通常,这种事情需要某人进行手动校准,但是如果您在难以访问的位置安装了监视器,几乎是不可能的。SIC克服了这一挑战,并使检查系统健康状况变得更加容易。

第二件事是,用户可以调整他们的苏bscription level whenever they want. They can add or remove functionality depending on their needs without being tied into a long contract period. Quantum offers complete flexibility for its users, which is difficult to find with other similar systems. Lastly, I’d say the biggest thing that makes Quantum Outdoor stand out from its competition is the fact that it’s been designed and built by Cirrus Research. You might be thinking, “well, of course, you’d say that”, but there’s a reason we’ve been a market leader for as long as we have. We have more than 50 years’ experience; we’ve continually innovated new technologies to improve the way people measure noise and made it easier for them to protect people and the environment, and our customer service is unrivalled in the industry. You only have to look at our reviews to know that! I honestly believe that Quantum Outdoor will improve so many businesses’ environmental impact management. I can’t wait to talk to even more people about how it could benefit them.

You can check out Quantum Outdoor for yourself completely free of charge by accessing the演示门户。现在可以从Cirrus Research购买量子户外。联系我们的销售团队的成员find out more
