AIRINS, the company formerly known as Soarability, has unveiled new multi-sensor gas detection configurations for DJI drones, designed to capture richer environmental and industrial gas data during a single flight.
The company’s Sniffer4D Nano2+ multi-gas sensing system, which can be integrated with several DJI enterprise platforms, introduces multi-payload sensing configurations, allowing multiple gas sensors to operate simultaneously on a single drone mission. The goal is simple: help drone operators collect more data in less time, especially in industries where gas monitoring plays a critical safety role.
A new generation of drone-based gas monitoring
The Sniffer4D system combines gas-detection hardware with AI-based analytics software, allowing operators to monitor airborne gas concentrations and map them in real time. Mounted on a drone, the sensor measures gases such as methane, hydrogen sulfide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other pollutants while the aircraft flies over a site. The data can then be visualized in maps and dashboards that reveal leak sources, gas dispersion patterns, or hazardous concentrations.
That capability is especially useful in sectors like:
- Oil and gas leak detection
- Environmental monitoring and air quality studies
- Industrial safety inspections
- Utilities and infrastructure monitoring
In these environments, sending personnel directly into the affected area may be risky or slow. Drone-based sensing offers a faster and safer alternative.
The new configurations from AIRINS take this idea further by enabling multiple gas sensors to operate together on a single payload setup. Operators can choose from several combinations, including:
- Two Sniffer4D Nano2+ Multi-Gas modules capable of monitoring up to 10 gas parameters simultaneously
- Nano2+ Multi-Gas plus Nano2+ Methane module, allowing methane detection alongside gases like hydrogen sulfide
- MetScan V1 paired with Nano2+ Methane module for combining stand-off methane scanning with in-situ measurements
- MetScan V1 with Nano2+ Multi-Gas module to perform methane mapping while analyzing additional gases
Together, these setups allow operators to collect multiple types of gas data in a single flight, reducing the need for repeat missions while improving situational awareness.
While the latest configuration was introduced alongside the DJI Matrice 400, the sensing technology itself is designed for a broader range of DJI enterprise drones. Different versions of the Sniffer4D system support DJI drone platforms, including DJI Matrice 300 RTK, Matrice 350 RTK, DJI Matrice 30 series, DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise and Thermal, as well as dock-based drones like the Matrice 3D and 4D series.
That cross-platform compatibility is important for organizations operating mixed fleets of drones. The same gas-detection technology can be deployed across different aircraft depending on the mission.
