Since the end of February, a new installation is monitoring the air quality in the Solenix’s Software Engineering Team’s office. The USB-based sensor measures the volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the air, which are the major culprits of “stuffy air”. These are created, for example, by humans and computers, indispensable in a working environment, but also by carpets or cooking. The values measured by the sensor are displayed in an easy to read graph shown in a touchscreen.

BOSS is Solenix’s web-based real-time dashboard solution for intelligent monitoring. Based on the Elasticsearch technology stack, we have further enhanced the offered data analysis capabilities with the addition of a scripting engine, which allows the integration of data mining algorithms.

The OGC Testbed 13 demonstration event took place in Reston (Virginia) on 12 and 13 of December at the USGS National Centre. Around 100 participants attended the demonstration of the outcomes of the latest annual testbed initiative. The initiative, which was partially sponsored by ESA, sought to research and rapidly develop prototype solutions to identified geospatial IT problems. 

Another fantastic year is coming to an end. We are all looking forward to a few days of peace and relaxation, so we can dive into new challenges next year.

Thank you for being part of our exciting journey!

Many thanks as well to the Solenix Kids that again contributed their drawings for our Christmas card.

We wish you peaceful holidays and a great start into 2018.
