Qube’s Data Driven Approach to Optimizing Sensor Placement

Strategic sensor placement is critical for reliable, real-time methane detection. Detection depends not just on technology, but on understanding wind behavior, emission sources, and site constraints. 

Qube’s deployment methodology uses historical wind data, source mapping, and MILP-based optimization to design sensor arrays that maximize detection coverage and minimize false negatives. 

The Qube deployment tool turns this methodology into a practical workflow—helping operators visualize trade-offs, configure sensor layouts, and balance detection accuracy with budget.
