Nexus

Introducing Nexus-a next generation Predictive Environmental Noise and Dust Intelligence Platform

What is Predictive Environmental Noise and Dust Intelligence?

Predictive Environmental Noise and Dust Intelligence is a data-driven, next-generation approach to environmental noise and dust management. It uses Large Environmental Noise and Dust Models (LENDM), combined with extensive datasets and spatial analytics, to determine exactly how much noise and dust from your operation is being received in nearby communities.

Unlike traditional monitoring — which only reports what has already occurred — this technology provides forward-looking, real-time intelligence, enabling organisations to:

  • Reduce environmental noise and dust risks from planning through to operations. Nexus’ Environmental Noise and Dust Intelligence delivers live actionable insights to adaptively manage your operations activities — without shutting down.
  • Instantly reveal noise sources. Nexus’ PENDI engine provides clear, visual insights across your entire operation, showing where impacts originate and why.
  • Respond with confidence. Access detailed, visual data to support nuisance-complaint responses and regulatory engagements.
  • Achieve cost-efficient integration. Nexus seamlessly connects to your existing systems and monitoring networks — with no additional hardware required

Key Features 

Next Generation Predictive Noise and Dust Intelligence

Our data-driven Large Environmental Noise and Dust Models (LENDM) forecast impacts as they occur and well into the future, giving you the insight needed to identify and manage emerging risks.

Integrated with your data

Observed and Forecast Weather (wind, stability, humidity, and temperature data), Fleet Management Data (location, asset number, speed, bearing, state), SCADA (equipment tag number, pressure, flow rate), Planning data (location, activity, start date, end date), monitoring data are combined with Nexus’ PENDI capability to significantly improve accuracy and confidence.

Visual Source Identification and Analytics

Interactive dashboards clearly visualise noise and dust sources, contributions, hotspots, and forecast scenarios to support operational decisions, compliance assessments, and community reporting — with automated alerts and notifications.

Reporting Tools

Generate detailed reports, videos, and image snapshots to support regulatory submissions, internal reporting, and nuisance-complaint defence.

Key Benefits

 

Proactive Noise Risk Management

Move from reactive responses to proactive, adaptive management with Nexus’ PENDI capabilities.

Improved Environmental Compliance

Forecast exceedance risks and adjust operations in real time to stay ahead of potential breaches.

Stronger Community Relationships

Transparent data and proactive mitigation reduce complaints, build trust, and strengthen your social licence to operate.

Operational Efficiency

Optimise equipment use, haulage, and scheduling using real-time and forecast insights — avoiding unnecessary disruptions.

Cost Savings and Reduced Operational Disruption

Minimise penalties, downtime, and manual monitoring through automated, intelligent environmental insights.

Enhanced Decision-Making

Clear, data-driven intelligence empowers planners, managers, and environmental teams to make confident, strategic decisions.

Future-Ready Environmental Intelligence

As operations expand or regulatory expectations evolve, Nexus’ PENDI scales effortlessly to meet new demands.

By developing and executing plans, in real-time, enterprises are no longer hampered by the restrictions of current passive monitoring models.

How does noise modelling with Nexus work?

    Nexus is an integrated noise management system that is intuitive, versatile, and user friendly. It combines noise modelling capability with operational, environmental, and noise monitoring data to predict noise in real time, thus providing valuable insights into your operations.

    Nexus software is installed on your server. All information is collated and stored in a central database for easy retrieval and reporting.

    Nexus seamlessly integrates with these types of datasets:

      • fleet management system
      • collision avoidance system
      • continuous noise monitoring
      • weather data
      • Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
      • GPS data
      • marine, aircraft, and rail traffic data.

    Scheduler: Predict and plan activities with confidence

    Scheduler ensures that planned operations comply with noise limits and provides auditable evidence of this compliance.

    You can schedule activities at the right time and make operational decisions with confidence using noise prediction and weather forecast data.

    Scheduler is simple to use and outputs data immediately, effectively eliminating the need to base schedules, plans, and operations on what happened weeks or months ago.

    Execute: Real-time noise modelling and management system

    Execute provides instantaneous noise compliance feedback. It’s a real-time modelling tool that gives you a clear understanding of your noise emissions. This allows you to manage your operations in real time and adaptively change when circumstances such as weather and equipment change, to ensure your noise emissions always remain in compliance.

    Real-time visibility also allows you to make strategic decisions, enhances risk assessment, and reduces the reporting burden by providing you with up-to-date, accurate data in an easy-to-use predictive analytics engine.
