AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY
As the automotive industry adopts new models like shared economy and robo-taxis, olfaction measurement companies have the unique opportunity to improve the user experience in a way that can speed adoption.
DIGITAL OLFACTION
CAN BE USED FOR
Automotive Material
Characterization
- Objective classification of VOCs for plastics and fabrics
- Enables quantitative standards for acceptable level of odors
- Assists in control of branded “new car smell” odor
- Enables modification of odor acceptability based on geographic consumer preferences
Preventative
Maintenance Alerts
- Signal early warning signs for component malfunction like electronics degradation or battery aging
- Detect fluid leaks like dripping oil or fuel before catastrophic failure
- Assist in diagnosing system failures
Ensuring a Positive
User Experience
- Alert central fleet management when ride sharing asset requires service due to odors in the car before a poor customer experience occurs
- Detect driver behavior that violates rental contract (ex. Smoking, pets, etc.)
- Enable enforcement of clean car policies for ridesharing companies with quantifiable cabin odor data

USE CASES
Challenge As sensor networks are integrated into everything from industrial controls to automobiles, the distinct odor a heating wire could be an early warning sign to a potential issue. Solution Digital olfaction can provide real-time indicators to wires heating beyond their intended safe operating temperatures for their related components Aryballe's impact Our technology can distinguish the subtle differences in different wire coatings to provide an indication of specifically which wires are in the high temperature areas—posing a potential correlation to a component malfunction.Read more

Top Three Applications of Digital Olfaction in Mobility
Today, we’re taking that one step further and sharing the three top applications of digital olfaction in the automotive industry. User comfort : You’ve most likely gotten into an Uber or Lyft at some point and been confronted by an unpleasant smell…
Readying Odor Data for Reproduction Using Machine Learning
Look up the word “odor” in a dictionary, and you’ll find one definition to be, “a distinctive smell, especially an unpleasant one.” But in our world of digital olfaction, odor is much more complex. Scientifically speaking, odor consists of one or more volatilized...
Wire coatings use case
As sensor networks are integrated into everything from industrial controls to automobiles, odors attributed to specific wire coatings can be an early warning sign to potential failures. Digital olfaction provides real-time indicators for different wire coatings when heated above their normal operating temperatures.
