Cetaware C9 Airborne Logger
CONTINUOUS, AUTOMATED ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE MONITORING
LOGGER
Smarter Monitoring for Demanding Environments
The C9 Airborne Logger is a purpose-built solution for commercial and industrial sites where airborne impacts must be measured and managed. From quarries and construction projects to airports and large-scale infrastructure operations, the C9 provides real-time monitoring of airborne noise helping operators stay compliant, protect communities, and maintain operational efficiency.
Traditional monitoring methods often rely on manual sampling or delayed reporting, leaving operators exposed to compliance risks and community complaints. The C9 changes the game by delivering continuous, automated logging powered by AI-driven analytics. It captures airborne data around the clock, transmits results instantly to a centralised dashboard for reporting that regulators and stakeholders can trust.
Key Performance Metrics
- A24/7 Continuous Operation: Autonomous monitoring powered by solar.
- On-Board AI Detection: Instant identification and isolation of natural sounds (for example insects and bird song) that commonly contaminate compliance measurements, with automated signal cleaning.
- Real-Time Automated Alerts: Immediate notifications sent straight to your team the moment consent thresholds are crossed.
- 100% Audit-Ready Compliance: Verifiable, transparent datasets engineered specifically for resource consents and regulatory oversight.
Traditional airborne and noise monitoring relies on manual sampling, spot checks, delayed data loggers that require physical retrieval, or real-time systems that report decibel levels that can be contaminated by natural sounds. On busy industrial sites, heavy background noise, wind, and transit traffic make it difficult to prove whether a noise spike came from your equipment or surrounding activity.
Delayed data leaves site operators vulnerable to unverified community complaints, costly project shutdowns or even fines. Managing dynamic operational impacts requires continuous, intelligent insight right at the site perimeter.
Key Product Aspects
- 01 / Edge AI Noise Isolation Smart Event Classification: Onboard artificial intelligence automatically filters out natural sounds such as from birds, crickets or cicadas, and excessive wind (above 3, or 5ms), to isolate and measure true site environmental noise effects.
- 02 / Continuous 24/7 Automated Logging Zero Data Gaps: Operates autonomously around the clock in challenging weather and high-noise environments, completely eliminating manual field surveys and memory card retrieval.
- 03 / Instant Alerting & Risk Management Adaptive Management: Triggers real-time alerts to site managers the moment sound pressure levels approach consenting limits, allowing immediate operational adjustments.
- 04 / Compliance & Auditing Made Simple Defensible Reporting: Automatically generates clear and transparent records aligned with local council regulations and environmental consents.
Noise compliance monitoring: Onboard AI processing unlocks scalable noise monitoring with processed data available immediately 24/7. Noise contaminating sources, such as bird choruses, cicadas and cricket calls, are filtered out automatically, allowing acoustic engineers to focus on managing and mitigating noise effects.
Gain real-time insights based on Big Data: Target and track specific noise sources automatically and obtain thousands of specific measurements for input into noise models to inform consenting applications.
How It Works
- Deploy: Quick field installation without tools.
- Monitor: High-precision acoustic and environmental sensors continuously monitor, record and transmit processed data 24/7 to live dashboards.
- Analyse: Onboard AI filters out contaminating noise sources, such as bird song or insect sounds, that conflate decibel measurements or identify specific site activities in real time.
- Transmit: Tiny data packets, event alerts, and GPS locations are transmitted directly to the live dashboard.
- Understand: Monitor and track trends and review historical data interactively via the online Data Explorer and export processed CSV datasets directly.
- Act: Adapt to maintain full consent compliance.
Proven Applications & Customer Value
Use cases include:
- Quarries & Mining Operations: Monitor noise emissions to meet compliance obligations and reduce community impact.
- Civil Construction & Infrastructure: Track targeted noise and vibration levels in real time to prevent excessive noise effects on the receiving environment or avoid unnecessarily expensive noise mitigation.
- Airports & Aviation Corridors: Log environmental noise emissions along flight corridors to support aviation safety and regulatory oversight.
- Industrial & Logistics Hubs: Identify and mitigate heavy machinery, freight, and production noise emissions before complaints occur.
- Hospitality: Calibrate noise control systems in bars, nightclubs or restaurants in real-time.
Benefits for Stakeholders
- Site Operators & Project Managers: Gain actionable intelligence to prevent costly project delays and prove responsible site management.
- Regulators & Local Councils: Obtain transparent and verifiable datasets that inform noise models, and big data on existing receiving environments that reduce uncertainty during the consenting phase.
- Surrounding Communities: Gain peace of mind knowing local industrial activities are monitored responsibly.
