Localised Cleaning

Clean only where it matters

AIRO pinpoints exactly which duct sections need attention — eliminating blanket cleaning schedules and cutting costs by up to 40%. Your cleaning contractor works smarter, not harder.

Clean When Required

Proof that the work was done

This turns ventilation data into behavioural intelligence — helping operators understand demand cycles, optimise maintenance timing, and align cleaning strategies with actual business activity.

Next Clean Due

Cleaning culture, not just compliance

Know precisely when each zone's next clean is required based on real contamination data — not arbitrary calendars. Build a culture of proactive maintenance with evidence your insurers and auditors will love.

Energy Performance

AIRO Energy Efficiency Rating

Grease build-up forces fans to work harder. AIRO quantifies the energy and carbon cost of delay.

How Hedge Funds Could Use AIRO Data

Grease velocity is a direct proxy for kitchen throughput — real-time footfall intelligence, 18 days before earnings.

Ventilation grease accumulation is a direct proxy for kitchen throughput. Every burger cooked, every rotisserie turned, every fryer running at capacity deposits measurable particulate into ductwork at a predictable rate. AIRO's continuous sensor network turns that physics into real-time footfall intelligence — days before it appears in any official dataset.

Scenario · Long/Short Equity
A fund holds long positions in McDonald's and short positions in Burger King. AIRO data from 340 UK sites signals divergence 18 days before quarterly earnings.
Grease velocity at McDonald's locations running 14% above seasonal baseline — consistent with strong Q1 trading. Burger King sensors show flat-to-declining throughput across 12 monitored sites in London and Manchester.

The Physics Behind the Signal
1
Cover served → heat generated
Every meal cooked produces grease particulate at a near-constant rate per cover type. A Whopper produces ~4.2× the particulate of a salad.
2
Particulate deposits in ductwork
AIRO sensors measure accumulation in µm every 15 minutes. Velocity (µm/day) is a direct function of kitchen throughput volume.
3
Velocity → covers → revenue
Calibrated against historical sales data, AIRO's model converts velocity to implied covers with ±3.2% accuracy versus reported SSS.
