GreenVaro: Complex Environmental Monitoring System
The rapid growth of manufacturing and increasing resource consumption are inevitably affecting the environment. Today, the world around us is polluted with noise, light, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and many other hazardous chemicals. Their impact on human health can lead to respiratory infections, hearing loss, and in the long term cause heart disease, lung cancer, and other critical health conditions.
Challenge
Solution
The two main components of the system are the Greenvaro Monitoring Device and the Greenvaro mobile application:
- The Monitoring Device is a modular system that consists of a Central Unit and additional sensor modules that append to the Central Unit via mini-USB connectors or wireless communications. The Central Unit contains a processor, power supply, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules, and a basic set of sensors. So, using the most suitable sensor modules, users can assemble their own system, without changing the Central Unit. The Monitoring Device transfers all data collected and processed to the server.
- The GreenVaro mobile application allows users to view the data collected by the Monitoring Device and gives them full control over their environment. The app provides the following features:
- Measurement history and updates — the app stores all collected data in one place, so users always have a complete and detailed picture of environmental changes at their fingertips;
- Data visualization — the app visualizes the collected data in the form of plain charts and breakdowns to illustrate the dynamics of parameters and their compliance with specified standards;
- Notifications — users receive notifications if one of the parameters goes above or below the accepted range;
- Useful tips — the app provides analytical information generated by the expert system and gives recommendations for improving environmental conditions;
- Configuration settings — app users can configure the delivery of notifications and data transfer to the server;
- Cross-platform compatibility — the app can run on both Android and iOS.
Project Results

Sergey
System Architect and Delivery Manager
My main responsibility as a Delivery Manager is to make sure that a product is delivered on time and within budget. To achieve that, I seek to create an encouraging environment for the team, where everyone can improve their skills, feel appreciated and, thus, produce greater value.
The use of Agile tools and techniques helps me organize the teamwork more effectively and transparently. Throughout my career, I have also been actively architecting, designing, and implementing software solutions — mostly web and desktop applications — for the Healthcare, Manufacturing & Energy industries that help companies and organizations streamline day-to-day business operations.
