InnoVita has been at the forefront of sensor and technology development for over 20 years. Fueled by an intense desire to improve the environment, and profits simultaneously, our team has made a difference in the following areas. Right Whales + Lobster Industry - Fall 2022Currently the Maine Lobster Industry, with an annual economic impact of $1.7B, is being heavily regulated due to its real and perceived threat to the Northern Right Whale. The project goals are to upgrade the current technology with AI and advanced sensors to reduce (a) mortality, (b) ship strikes, (c) illness, and (d) lobster gear entanglement. Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2) - 2020InnoVita has developed the technology framework for a complete detection and elimination system for the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) virus and 10 other airborne pathogens which are a top priority for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Power Grid Optimization - CO2 Reduction - 2007For this project we used our own AI modeling software to build predictive electrical load requirement (Load Forecast) models which were 50% more accurate than the current. With a 50% improvement to the “Load Forecast” the grid operators reduced the standby generation by 120 megawatts, or an approximate annual CO2 reduction of 4.24 x104 tons/year. Predictive Emission Monitoring (PEMS) - 2003In collaboration with International Paper, EPA, DOE, and InnoVita, we developed an EPA compliant Predictive Emissions Monitoring System (PEMS) for the following fuels; (a) oil, (b) gas, (c) wood, and (d) waste fuel. Chlorine dioxide (CLO2) Detection & Monitoring - 2000The InnoVita team using off-the-shelf parts, and AI in the hardware and software developed a new toxic gas monitoring system that; (a) could detect Chlorine dioxide below the EPA/OSHA mandates [<3 ppb], (b) differentiate between Chlorine and Chlorine dioxide, (c) was portable, and (d) rechargeable.Predictive Failure Machinery Technology - 1998The InnoVita team was awarded a $ 425,000 DOE grant for the development of a new predictive failure technology using AI for the pulp and paper industry. Landfill Reduction - Recyclable Carbon - 1996InnoVita provided a new type of carbon for air filtration which reduced the landfill usage by 78%, and air filtration costs by 81%. Lobster Holding Tank Mortality Reduction - 1993InnoVita donated the design and plans to the Maine Lobster Research Institute for a no cost commercialization of the technology. Most of the Maine lobster industry’s filtration systems today use the design InnoVita submitted to MLRI.
