Casella’s dBadge2 ‘Gets Connected’ with the AirWave app


As technology surges into almost every aspect of our daily lives, it’s unlikely that you haven’t already used an app today, be it to organise your daily routine or monitor your sleep pattern. So it’s no surprise that Casella has joined the app market with its new AirWave app which allows Casella’s dBadge2 noise dosimeter to #getconnected.


The impact of occupationally-induced long term illnesses, such as hearing damage cannot be stressed enough. Now Casella, designers and producers of effective monitoring solutions has launched its new ground-breaking, next generation noise dosimeter. The dBadge2 with AirWave app connectivity enables employee noise exposure monitoring and reporting in real time and without disruption to workers.


Users of the app can view the status of the pump, or even start, stop and pause the noise or dust monitoring device directly from an app on their mobile device.


At the end of 2014, The Independent reported that there were offi cially more mobile phones in the world than people. [1] With this in mind, it makes sense for those in the construction, manufacturing and trade-based industries to make full use of technology in monitoring employee health hazards.


The AirWave app is available on the App Store and Google Play. For more information on Casella’s dBadge2 and AirWave app, please visit http://casellasolutions.com
