Our mission is to build the world’s leading system of intelligence, to automate, analyse and accelerate environmental risk assessment for a safer and more sustainable world.
Ambisense was founded in 2014 with the belief that technology adoption would improve the assessment of environmental risk. At the time technology was perceived to be a real threat to established business models (and still is in some instances) but we felt confident that as technology improved and market demands changed, those barriers would fall and the industry would embrace digitalisation, just as practically every other industry has and is doing.
And so, as the environmental industry evolved so did Ambisense which led us to develop Ambilytics, a system of environmental intelligence. There were many stages along the way to Ambilytics, and there will be many more to come.
First we built instrumentation that could automate expensive, sometimes dangerous field measurement processes and to solve the first industry pain-point, we saw – namely to get more data from remote sites.
Next we brought this data to customers in real-time to improve their ability to react quickly
After that we contextualised that data by connecting other instrumentation and data sources, again with a view to deepening an understanding of the process we were trying to measure.
Ambilytics was created to empower users, letting them take their analysis and assessments to the next level, but the version you see now is only the first stage of many.
This dynamic platform will continue to evolve with new technologies and industry demands, and Ambisense will be rolling out an intensive series of new features in 2019 and into the future.
Ambisense began life as an Irish EPA STRIVE funded project developed in the National Centre for Sensor Research (NCSR) in Dublin City University.
Since then we’ve grown to a team of over 15 people, with offices in two countries and customers across three continents. Our technology platform optimizes the delivery of environmental risk assessment on some of the world’s largest infrastructure projects across industrial, oil & gas, and waste verticals.
Our team members are our greatest asset. Our ability to deliver outstanding results for our clients starts with our team of experts, who have years of experience and specialisation across fields from brownfield site remediation, to data analytics and AI, to firmware development.
