GreenIO, a Bangkok-based artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) solutions company, has developed an AI-powered air quality monitoring system to help safeguard underserved communities from the harmful effects of PM2.5 pollution.

The company is the first in Thailand to receive support under a corporate social responsibility programme run by Qualcomm Inc aimed at promoting collaboration and developing AI-powered air quality monitoring systems.

GreenIO also plans to develop and commercialise AI-on-device technology by designing and manufacturing the devices in Thailand to reduce imports, build domestic technological capabilities, and capitalise on AI-on-device market opportunities.

The company's ambition is to make Thailand a regional leader in AI-on-devices in the long term, said Ittichai Phoomsirivilai, managing director and co-founder of GreenIO.
