In an effort to combat air pollution and emissions, Dundee-based Alator Data Services and its innovative spin-off, Verdant Analytix, are revolutionising the field with cutting-edge real-time monitoring solutions. These pioneering technologies are not only helping businesses meet stringent sustainability goals but also contributing to Scotland’s economic growth by creating skilled jobs and fostering a greener economy.
Scotland’s housing sector has long struggled with the pervasive issues of damp and mould, posing significant health risks to thousands of tenants. TrakAer IAQ, developed by Alator, offers landlords a powerful tool to monitor indoor air quality in real-time. This technology empowers landlords to identify potential risks early, take proactive measures, and reduce maintenance costs while ensuring compliance with housing regulations.
“We’ve witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of poor air quality on tenants’ health and wellbeing,” noted Kerry Brown, Co-Founder of Alator Data Services. “Landlords need a smarter, faster way to address these issues before they escalate. TrakAer IAQ helps take the guesswork out of air quality management, making it easier to take early action and protect tenants before damp and mould become a crisis.”
Alator’s innovative approach has garnered national recognition, securing a finalist spot in the Housing Digital Innovation Awards and inclusion on PFH’s SHED 4 framework, ensuring widespread adoption across social housing providers.
Building on its success, Alator has launched Verdant Analytix, a specialist emissions monitoring firm dedicated to developing Verion, a groundbreaking real-time emissions tracking solution. Verion is designed to help industries detect leaks, enhance efficiency, and significantly reduce carbon output.
“Businesses are under growing pressure to track and reduce emissions, but most existing solutions are too expensive or slow to provide real-time insights,” explained David Brown, Co-Founder of Verdant Analytix. “Verion changes that. It’s affordable, scalable, and uses AI to identify inefficiencies before they become costly problems.”
Verdant Analytix is strategically headquartered at the Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc (MSIP), a hub for clean-tech innovation. The company is already in discussions with major industry players to explore the adoption of Verion for regulatory compliance and ESG reporting.
Beyond their environmental impact, Alator and Verdant Analytix are committed to investing in local talent, creating jobs, and collaborating with Scottish suppliers to drive economic growth.
“We are committed to building a thriving clean-tech industry in Scotland,” emphasised Kerry Brown. “Our solutions not only help businesses reduce their environmental footprint but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable economy.”
Alator Data Services and Verdant Analytix are actively seeking partners, investors, and industry collaborators to scale their impact.
As Scotland continues to push forward with its sustainability agenda, Alator Data Services and Verdant Analytix are at the forefront, leveraging technology to create a healthier environment and a more sustainable future for generations to come.
