We're happy to announce that we're partnering with Oda, Norway’s leading online grocery store🤩

Oda has chosen to sensor up their 18 500 square meters grocery warehouse at Liertoppen in Norway with our sensor systems. This will enable them to efficiently monitor temperature-sensitive foods 🥕🥦

- Vicotee's temperature sensors continuously monitor temperatures in our various warehouse zones, such as freezers and cold rooms, and give us immediate notice on temperature changes. Vicotee’s sensors help us better control and maintain food safety to ensure that all goods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, are stored under optimal conditions with the best quality for our customers, says Kristin Thornes Woldsdal, Managing Director for Oda in Norway.

Over 800 Norwegian school buildings are in critical condition and suffer from poor indoor air quality 🏃‍♀️🤸🔠

Multiconsult has prepared a report for The National Parents’ Committee for Primary and Secondary Education in Norway. Their results show that hundreds of schools have major and serious deviations in their ventilation systems.

This means that over 13.000 teachers and 110.000 pupils spend hour after hour in classrooms with poor ventilation and indoor air quality.

Vicotee wants to change this! We offer that monitor and control . Data from Vicotee’s sensors will help identify key factors affecting the indoor climate and suggest what measures are needed to improve the breathable air. Learn more about it here 👉 https://bit.ly/3TPBRLk

🚀New partnership - A great opportunity for Vicotee! Hallermoen skole has chosen to sensor up their buildings with Vicotee’s smart sensor technology to monitor and control their indoor air quality. The Vicotee-Indoor-Climate-Solution is a tool used by the school to provide the best possible indoor climate 📲🏫

– For us it is important to gain accurate and reliable information about our indoor climate to ensure that pupils and staff stay healthy and happy, says Ingvild Waage, principal at Hallermoen Primary School.

– Pupils and school staff spends a large amount of time indoors. Research shows that breathable air free of health threatening pollutants can lead to a higher quality of life, lower risk of respiratory illnesses, and a reduced risk of various chronic conditions. Indoor air quality is especially important for learning performance, says Leif Erik Havnen, CEO at Vicotee.

Svært mange boliger, skoler, kontorer og andre forsamlingslokaler har utilstrekkelig inneluftkvalitet. Med det blir vi trøtte, ukonsentrerte - men i denne lange krevende tiden, blir vi faktisk også mer smittet enn nødvendig.

Med våre inneklima-sensorer måler mange allerede idag de parameterne som sier noe om smitteintensitetsrisikoen i rom med mange mennesker samlet.

Vi syns flere skoler, kontorer og fellesområder bør få dette raskere opp på agendaen...

- syns ikke du?

Det europeiske smittevernbyrået (ECDC) anbefaler fem tiltak for å bremse omikronsmitte. Ett av dem har norske myndigheter ikke vært spesielt opptatt av.
