Documentation & data sets
What is the FluX Aero used for?
The FluX Aero module from SensorX Solutions is designed for UAV-mounted gas detection surveys. It is widely used for greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring and safety monitoring campaigns. It is available for all major gases, such as methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and ammonia (NH3).
The FluX Aero is provided as a bundle with the SPH SkyHub on-board computer for flight management and data logging. You can see the gas concentration values on your laptop in real time. Advanced reports and maps are available in the DroneGIS software platform, in cloud and on-premise versions.
Key features
- Available for all major gases, such as methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and ammonia (NH3).
- Lightweight: as low as 0.9 kg, depending on configuration.
- Measures methane concentration accurately down to 0.5 ppm (parts per million).
- Very fast sensor that delivers concentration values at 2 Hz, so the drone can fly fast.
- Self-calibrating, for low maintenance.
- Option to generate reports on quantified emissions in g/hr.
How does it work with SkyHub, UgCS and your drone?
Drone. The module is designed as a compatible payload for many commercially available UAV models, such as the DJI M300, DJI M350, Inspired Flight IF1200A, Harris Aerial H6 and Wispr Ranger Pro.
SkyHub onboard computer. The SkyHub that comes in the bundle is the data processing and storage unit:
- It manages the flight, logs data and delivers real-time sensor data to the ground.
- It logs the FluX measurements in geotagged form, in CSV and LOG format.
- Geotagging uses the drone's GPS receiver. With an RTK/PPK receiver on the drone, data points have coordinates precise to centimetres.
UgCS and Payload Monitor: mission planning and control.
- Keeps data quality consistently high.
- Reduces risks for your drone and personnel.
- Streams methane measurements to your laptop in real time.
- Can be used offline anywhere.
What does DroneGIS do with the data?
DroneGIS is the data processing and collaboration software for the FluX Aero results.
- Validates the acquired data, removes incorrect readings and builds methane intensity maps.
- Tracks methane dynamics over time.
- Exports methane intensity maps to KML, GeoJSON or Shape formats, for use in your existing systems.
- Lets your team and stakeholders collaborate.
- Shares methane data and reports in one click.
- Lets you check methane detection reports on your mobile device.
- Available in cloud and on-premise versions.
