Sensor Technology Overview
The iryx Platform
Multi-spectral imaging and multi-sensor IoT devices enable detection and analysis of related events by analyzing the same situation from different perspectives providing users with better insight and context versus the use of a single device.
iryx solutions perform A.I. computations at the edge to deliver real-time detection and event classification. This provides significant scalability and cost-efficiency by removing the need for Cloud based solutions or expensive on-premise servers to minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Additionally, all iryx devices and device software are designed from the ground up with robust cybersecurity protections such as Arm Trusted Firmware and Docker containers.

The iryx Solution
iryx sensors are purpose-built to observe and analyze spaces and produce actionable intelligence in an IT friendly manner. This is accomplished by applying multi-sensor fusion with edge-based AI to capture data, contextualize it, and then communicate it to various software management platforms to dramatically increase situational awareness.
Humans possess 5 essential senses to gain an intelligent view of their surroundings. Traditional imaging and detection solutions have traditionally used only one type of sensor. iryx uses many sensors to better interpret and analyze their environment. Some of these sensors include: visible imagery; low and high resolution thermal detection; particulate, VOC and gas detection and analysis; vibration; and other environmental sensors.
| Sensor Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 |
Visible | See color visual detail, relative size, relative position |
 |
Thermal – High Res | See in darkness, fog, smoke, camouflage, through foliage |
 |
Thermal – Low Res | Detect human occupancy, temperature |
 |
Particulate | Detect particulates like vape and smoke |
  |
VOC & Gas | Detect volatile organic compounds like glues, solvents, paints and cleaners Detect gasses like NO, CO, CO2, etc. |
 |
Vibration | Detect vibration, touch, tampering, or movement |
 |
Environmental | Environmental sensors such as temperate, humidity, water, etc. |

Dragonfly
Compound Thermal Occupancy Detection Solutions
Detect human presence without sacrificing privacy with iryx Dragonfly sensors. They differentiate between people and other heat emitting objects with thermal signature classification providing comprehensive area detection with the ability to count people in conference rooms, classrooms, and other private spaces with complete personal privacy.
Canary
Particulate/VOC/Gas Analysis Solutions
Iryx Canary sensors detect high particulate counts in the air resulting from vaping, smoking or other particulates such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), toxic chemicals, gasses, and particulate changes in air quality. Once detected, Canary can provide a visual display of air quality and issue alerts based on user established thresholds.
