VIRTUAL RINGELMANN 4.0

Using the camera of your phone device, we have virtualized the Ringelmann scale methodology, which is used worldwide to measure the emission of black smoke from diesel engines and industrial chimneys. The inspection process is faster and more efficient, which allows a larger number of vehicles and chimneys to be monitored and sent for future adjustment, contributing to the reduction of black smoke emission, ridding the environment of tons of this waste. The Virtual Ringelmann meets vehicular and stationary surveillance methods. It was developed for industries and transport companies that need to implement the concept of environmental management in the administration and operation of emitters of air pollutants and that wish to be in accordance to municipal, state, national or international environmental legislations, such as the ISO 14001.
