Developed by innovative software and engineering company, SOUNDPLAN, it’s the perfect tool for occupational health and safety experts to help them assess environmen- tal hazards. The measurement data can be easily imported to instantaneously display a color-coded map with contour lines representing the measurement value all over the mapping area, using SoundPLANmanda’s intelligent and fast interpolation algorithms. The results are shown in easy-to-use map layouts, with multiple options to adapt to user require- ments, making the process as simple as possible. soundplan.eu/en/ PORTABLE GAS DETECTOR As the first fully-connected product in the MSA Connected Work Platform, the ALTAIR io 4 has an innovative direct-to- cloud design that connects with MSA Grid cloud-based software and the ALTAIR io Dock.
