Standard monitoring configurations cover the majority of environmental monitoring requirements — but some projects demand more. Complex industrial perimeters with non-standard pollutant mixes, research programmes requiring custom measurement intervals, multi-site networks needing integration with existing enterprise platforms, or regulatory requirements that specify particular sensor combinations and reporting formats. Sensorbee On Request is the custom solutions service that adapts the Sensorbee monitoring platform to your specific requirements, combining hardware configuration, software integration, and application expertise to deliver monitoring systems designed around your project rather than around standard product options.
How It Works
The custom solutions process begins with your requirements, not our product catalogue:
Requirements consultation — Sensorbee application specialists discuss your monitoring objectives, regulatory context, site constraints, and integration needs. What pollutants need measuring? At what detection limits? How many locations? What reporting formats? What existing systems need to receive data?
Solution design — based on the consultation, Sensorbee engineers design a monitoring configuration that addresses your specific requirements. This may involve non-standard sensor combinations, custom measurement schedules, modified enclosures for particular environments, or integration architectures connecting to your existing infrastructure.
Build and test — custom configurations are built, programmed, and tested against your requirements before deployment. Each unit is verified to meet the specified measurement performance, communication protocols, and environmental ratings.
Deployment support — Sensorbee provides installation guidance, commissioning support, and ongoing technical assistance for custom deployments. Complex integrations receive dedicated support until the system is operating as specified.
When Standard Products Are Not Enough
Custom solutions address requirements that standard configurations cannot:
Non-standard sensor combinations — monitoring programmes that require specific combinations of gas sensors, particulate matter measurement, noise, vibration, and weather parameters that do not match the standard Air Pro 2 or Air Lite configurations
Industrial gas monitoring — environments where specific pollutant gases at particular concentration ranges need to be measured, potentially requiring sensor modules not in the standard product range
Extended sensor arrays — monitoring networks requiring more sensors per station or more stations per network than standard products support, with custom data management and reporting
Harsh environment deployments — installations in extreme temperatures, corrosive atmospheres, high-humidity environments, or explosive atmospheres that require modified enclosures, materials, or certifications
Custom reporting requirements — regulatory submissions that require specific data formats, averaging periods, statistical summaries, or report structures not covered by standard Sensorbee Cloud reporting
Legacy system integration — connection to existing SCADA systems, building management platforms, environmental databases, or corporate data warehouses using protocols or formats beyond the standard REST and PUSH APIs
Noise, Dust, and Vibration Solutions
Construction and demolition projects frequently require simultaneous monitoring of noise, dust, and vibration — often with specific requirements driven by Section 61 consent conditions, planning conditions, or environmental permits. Custom NDV (noise, dust, vibration) solutions can include:
Custom trigger levels — alert thresholds configured to match the specific limit values in your consent conditions or permit requirements
Multi-point monitoring — networks of stations positioned at sensitive receptor locations, with centralised data management and reporting
Concurrent meteorological measurement — wind speed, direction, rainfall, temperature, and humidity alongside NDV parameters for complete environmental context
Automated regulatory reporting — reports formatted for submission to the specific local authority or regulatory body governing your project
Integration With Existing Systems
Many organisations have established environmental management platforms, data warehouses, or operational systems that monitoring data needs to feed into. Custom integration options include:
SCADA connectivity — industrial sites with existing supervisory control and data acquisition systems can receive Sensorbee data alongside other process parameters
Building management systems — indoor air quality and environmental data integrated into BMS platforms for automated HVAC control and environmental quality management
Environmental databases — direct data feeds into corporate or municipal environmental information systems, eliminating manual data transfer
Custom APIs and protocols — where standard REST and PUSH APIs do not meet integration requirements, custom data interfaces can be developed to match your system's communication protocols
Expert Consultation
Custom solutions include direct access to Sensorbee's engineering and application specialists:
Sensor selection guidance — which sensors and configurations best address your specific monitoring objectives, considering detection limits, cross-sensitivities, environmental conditions, and regulatory requirements
Network design — optimal station placement, sensor heights, measurement frequencies, and communication architectures for multi-site monitoring networks
Regulatory compliance — ensuring the monitoring system meets the requirements of applicable standards, permits, planning conditions, and consent orders
Data interpretation support — assistance with understanding measurement data, identifying sources, and preparing environmental assessments

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom solution take to deliver?
Delivery timelines depend on the complexity of the customisation. Simple sensor configuration changes may be delivered within standard lead times. Complex integrations, custom enclosures, or non-standard sensor configurations typically require 4–8 weeks from requirements confirmation to delivery.
Is there a minimum order for custom solutions?
Custom solutions are available for single-station deployments and large monitoring networks. The service is designed around your project requirements, not minimum order quantities.
Can I start with standard products and customise later?
Yes — the Sensorbee platform is modular. You can deploy standard Air Pro 2 or Air Lite configurations initially and add custom sensors, integrations, or reporting capabilities as project requirements evolve.
How do I start the consultation process?
Contact Sensorbee to discuss your monitoring requirements. An application specialist will review your project needs and recommend the appropriate solution — whether that is a standard product configuration or a custom solution designed specifically for your application.
Are custom solutions covered by the same warranty?
Custom solutions based on Sensorbee hardware carry the same warranty terms as standard products. Custom software integrations and configurations are supported under the terms agreed during the solution design process.
