DIYA: Robots that want your well-being!
Today’s research clearly shows that people’s well-being, especially at work, is no longer an option! The French SME “Partnering Robotics” got the message and now offers what looks like an R2D2 in charge of your indoor climate, capturing up to 99.95% of all harmful particles present in the air you breathe indoors.
The DIYA AIR NODE and DIYA ONE X can be used in a wide range of spaces – offices, shopping centers, museums, retirement homes – and can handle, respectively, up to 40m2 and 1000 m² of indoor space.
These robots are equipped with sensors that provide non-stop measuring of a variety of features present in the air: room temperatures; relative humidity; lighting, noise and CO2 levels; fine particles; volatile organic compounds (VOCs); and ozone. These robots ensure that the air we breathe is purified thanks to embedded ultra-efficient filters supplied by CAMFIL (H13+), a ventilator and their own integrated automaton.
This new solution by Partnering Robotics also includes a WEB interface, so it can remotely track key environmental parameters that impact our well-being. And they come with two display screens: one to inform occupants and one for the building’s operator.
With its Parisian client Galeries Lafayette, Partnering Robotics developed a mobile IoT gateway between the robot and the air handling unit’s automaton. Together, they use temperature, relative humidity and CO2 readings to monitor the ambient air of a specific area.
Business Model
For this solution, Partnering Robotics offers a rent-based revenue model only, priced at 1300 € per month. The subscription includes the robot itself, maintenance and the WEB interfaces. Your own mobile IoT gateway will cost you more (around 45 000 €).
What We Think
This Partnering Robotics solution brings real added value to tracking solid fine particles present in the air, thanks to an extremely efficient filter. The control panel, located on-site, means occupants are reassured when it comes to the quality of the air they’re breathing. Unfortunately, they can measure CO2 levels but don’t propose a solution to reduce them.
With models that come with their own IoT gateway, the financial model is more complex, as you have to calculate the cost of renting the robot plus the added expense of developing the gateway device…
