The GlanAir CEMS provides automated 24-7 monitoring to verify acceptable particle ranges in controlled environments and cleanrooms. The system provides a real-time alarm in the event of a particle spike or contamination threat.
Why continuous monitoring
Early warning of contamination threats
Minimise process downtime
Save time and resource by replacing manual sampling processes
Demonstrate best practice in production Quality Assurance
Maintain required conditions between ISO 14644-1 inspections
How it works
High-precision sensors provide 20-60 second sampling of particle counts and related metrics
Live status is verified using a simple Red / Amber / Green display on the HEX dashboard
In the event of a particle spike an alarm is generated to enable immediate intervention
Remote Management & Particle Diagnostics
The HEX software platform is used for monitoring live particle status at a glance, across multiple devices and sites. The system can be left to run in the background with automated alerts to ensure that contamination threats can be responded to immediately.
Particles are categorised into 24 software bins ranging from 0.35μm to 40μm in size for detailed analysis of particle distribution, concentration and density. This enables analysis of cleanroom performance drift between ISO 14644-1 inspections.
Analytics tools help characterise the nature of particle spikes or trends. Data can be viewed holistically across all 24 bins with options to drill down to specific particle sizes. Data can be viewed live or historically and exported to csv if required for further analysis.
Ease of Operation & Integration
The plug and play system is quick to set up and maintenance-free operation ensures that personnel can rely on seamless background monitoring 24-7.
Users can view data output remotely on the HEX dashboard as well as on the customer’s own SCADA or preferred application.
Sensors are small, unobtrusive and portable should redeployment be required.
There are no regional-specific requirements and the system can be deployed anywhere in the world.
Typical Applications
The GlanAir CEMS is designed primarly for controlled environments, including ISO-8 regulated cleanrooms and production facilities. However, the system is also effective in industrial environments with limited controls.

Cost-effective Solution
The continuous monitoring approach can deliver significant value in return for minimal investment. Automation saves time and resource taken up by manual sampling processes while early warnings can minimise costly downtime or other significant costs associated with undetected contamination.
The cost model is simple and comprises:
Purchase cost for each monitoring device includes secure data hosting, software and integrations
No subscription charges
Single gateway can be used for up to 50 devices
Options for sensor calibration service
