With the help of our intuitive IoT sensors and the SaaS platform, environmental monitoring has become simpler than ever. Our core values of innovation, quality, and enthusiasm set us apart and drive us to bring a fresh, new approach to the market. We understand the challenges faced by construction professionals, which is why we provide an effortless and hassle-free monitoring solution that's powered by technology and innovation.
A journey to innovation
Let us take you back to the beginning of Omnidots - a company founded by Marko and Lourens, who already had a successful track record in creating businesses. They started with prototyping products and ventured into industries like airlines and mining. However, their true passion and motivation were found in the construction and infrastructure sector.
After conducting extensive research, they discovered a glaring need for affordable simplicity in the monitoring market: outdated technology, costly equipment, and complex usability were the norm at the time. Determined to make a difference, they established Omnidots. Their relentless innovation and unwavering drive have positioned them as game-changers in the industry.
The beginnings of Omnidots
In 2014, Omnidots embarked on a mission to make the world safer and launched the development of an innovative vibration monitoring device. Through 2014 and 2015, Omnidots played a considerable part in developing and setting up a large-scale sensor network for measuring acceleration in the Dutch province of Groningen.
Pushing vibration monitoring to the next level
In 2016, the founders of Omnidots started to delve even deeper. They understood that vibrations have an immense impact on buildings - as well as those who live and work in them. Therefore, they developed a revolutionary sensor for greater effectiveness in the construction and infrastructure sector. With their ambitious business plan in hand, they secured venture capital funding to turn their dream into reality.
For two intense years that followed, a passionate team of highly competent developers and (software) engineers developed vibration analysis equipment that combines usability and user-friendliness with the right technical specifications.
Fully integrated solution launched in the Netherlands
After years of hard work and commitment, our effort finally paid off! In 2018 we were thrilled to launch the Omnidots fully integrated vibration monitoring solution in the Netherlands. We could not be prouder to see that it surpassed expectations with its comprehensive capabilities!
Commercial breakthrough
In 2019 we reached a major milestone. The Omnidots system was purchased worldwide thanks to the efforts of our global dealer network. This was the start of our vibration monitoring solution helping to prevent structural damage and nuisance to residents in many parts of the world.
Growing even bigger
As 2020 came to a close, Omnidots became the go-to provider of innovative and efficient vibration analysis equipment for construction and infrastructure. Knowing that stagnation leads to decline, we continued to focus on expanding our monitoring system with new tools. That way, our partners and customers can take advantage of the most suitable products available!
Move to a new office
Since our continuous international growth enabled us to expand our team, it was time to relocate Omnidots' office in April 2022. We moved into a bigger and better space with lots of further growth potential! This next chapter in the journey provided us with vital work- and storage space. Our team is thrilled to turn dreams into reality here in Leek, Groningen (the Netherlands).
Launch of DUST air quality monitor
As our goal is to create a safer and healthier living environment around every infrastructure and construction site worldwide, we began working on another easy-to-use IoT sensor. In October 2022, the moment arrived when we were able to officially launch the DUST air quality monitor - a robust industrial particulate matter sensor that can be used in the roughest environments.
New product names
Omnidots started with the SWARM vibration monitor and the Honeycomb web platform. As our company grows, so does our product line. With the introduction of our new Sound Level Monitor, we've decided to keep the SWARM name for all our monitors. We've also updated the names of our existing products:
- The SWARM vibration monitor is now SWARM Vibration
- The DUST air quality monitor is now SWARM Air
- The new Sound Level Monitor is called SWARM Sound
Launch of the SWARM Sound level monitor
The SWARM Sound Level Monitor has been launched and is available worldwide. To celebrate its release, we hosted an introduction day in the Netherlands. It was a successful day with a lot of positive feedback from our customers. One attendee even referred to SWARM Sound as the new standard in sound level monitoring.
