    Acoem (Cadence and Airodis)

    Acoem's software is built around its own monitoring hardware. Cadence connects noise and vibration monitors to a cloud dashboard over MQTTs, labels each noise exceedance with a main and secondary likely source, and produces compliance reports. Airodis, installed on Windows with a SQL Server database, pulls data from multiple loggers, lets reviewers validate or invalidate it with a recorded reason, and sends scheduled reports.

    Who is Acoem (Cadence and Airodis) for?

    Environmental and compliance teams running Acoem noise, vibration or air-quality monitors who need validated data and exceedance reports for regulators and neighbours. Measurement quality depends on correctly selected, installed, calibrated and maintained instruments; neither software makes an unverified reading compliant. Treat Cadence AI source labels as decision support and confirm them against recordings and context. Check every device, firmware and protocol against current compatibility lists. Cadence and Airodis have separate architecture and licensing, and the public detailed security/API datasheet is dated October 2021.

    Worth evaluating for organisations already committed to Acoem monitors, because Cadence and Airodis are designed around those instruments and document data validation and audit trails. Less suited to buyers who want a general EHS platform, or instrument-agnostic cloud monitoring without first checking driver support.

    Capabilities and scope

    Acoem is an environmental-monitoring and industrial-reliability instrument group built from several legacy brands, including 01dB and Ecotech. This profile covers two distinct environmental-data products: Cadence, Acoem's cloud platform for compatible noise and vibration monitors, and Airodis, Windows/SQL software for collecting, validating and reporting logger data. They are not one subscription and are not a general EHS, incident or occupational-health case system.

    More capability notes

    2 additional areas. Status describes reviewed sources, not hands-on performance.

    Also watch for: No public price for software or instruments. Airodis needs a Windows 10 or later machine and a SQL Server database to administer. The Cadence security datasheet is dated October 2021. AI source labels on exceedances need checking against recordings. Driver changes can require manual channel and report remapping.

    Acoem (Cadence and Airodis) pricing

    Quote only

    Acoem publishes no software or instrument prices. Quote Cadence or Airodis separately from instruments, installation, communications, calibration and any Acoem monitoring or reporting service.

    Pricing sources checked : Selected sources checked; no starting price recorded. The Airodis and Cadence product pages were read on 25 September 2026; both lead to request forms and neither shows an amount.

    Which product scope should the quote cover?

    Cadence covers connected Acoem noise/vibration devices, dashboards, alerts, AI-assisted exceedance classification, reporting, remote configuration, integrations and stakeholder-facing outputs. Airodis covers supported logger/instrument downloads, SQL-backed multi-user data review, validation/audit history, alarms and scheduled environmental reports. Hardware, firmware, telemetry, calibration, field service, cloud/API access, drivers and each software licence must be itemised.

    Ask the vendor to identify the product, region, modules, billing unit, contract term and included services in writing.

    Cadence cloud-only; Airodis on a Windows and SQL Server installation

    Cadence is cloud-delivered: live dashboards, remote configuration and alert notifications depend on the monitor and the user being online, with device traffic over MQTTs. Airodis is Windows software that downloads logger data automatically or manually, as often as every 10 seconds, into a SQL Server database.

    Demo script

    Demo: known-source exceedance in Cadence

    1. Connect the quoted monitor and configure an exceedance threshold, recipients and a known activity window.
    2. Generate events from two known sources and compare Cadence's main and secondary labels with audio and the site log.
    3. Correct one classification, export the evidence and show what is retained in the final compliance report.

    Demo: device outage and remote recovery

    1. Take a Cadence-connected monitor offline and verify device-health and data-gap notifications.
    2. Restore connectivity, inspect backfill and duplicate handling, and perform an authorised remote configuration change.
    3. Review the change history, latency, commissioning-key controls and escalation evidence.

    Demo: monthly Airodis validation and report

    1. Download a month from two quoted logger models and reconcile timestamps, channels and capture percentage.
    2. Invalidate calibration and suspect periods with configured reasons, reverse one edit and inspect the audit log.
    3. Generate the scheduled regulatory report and trace every edited value and calculation to retained source data.

    Ask the vendor to show you

    1. Disconnect a Cube or Fusion monitor from Cadence for an hour and show whether the missing interval is backfilled, flagged or lost.
    2. Take ten exceedances Cadence labelled with a source and let our acoustician compare each with the recording; record how often the label holds.
    3. Invalidate an hour of data in Airodis with a reason, reverse it, and show both entries in the audit log and their effect on the scheduled report.
    4. Confirm the Airodis driver, protocol and firmware for each of our loggers, including non-Acoem instruments, and the version you will install.
    5. Quote Cadence or Airodis separately from instruments, SIM data, calibration and any Acoem reporting service, with renewal terms.
    6. Provide current Cadence API, security, data-residency, retention, backup and SLA documentation rather than relying only on the October 2021 datasheet.

    Questions the sources answer

    Are Cadence and Airodis the same Acoem platform?

    No. Cadence is a cloud platform for compatible Acoem noise and vibration monitors. Airodis is Windows and SQL environmental-data software with its own driver list, validation and reporting workflow. Quote and validate them separately.

    Can Cadence identify the source of every noise exceedance automatically?

    Cadence proposes main and secondary source labels. Acoem links performance to good Class 1 signal quality, but the labels still require review against audio, site activity and monitoring context before regulatory use.

    Can Airodis driver upgrades affect historical continuity?

    Yes. Official release notes describe deprecated drivers and cases where rewritten drivers can require manual report or channel remapping. Test upgrades against copied data and document backup, mapping and rollback steps.

    Are Acoem certifications blanket software certifications?

    No. Acoem's accreditation page covers specified organisations, laboratories, services and instrument standards. The older Cadence datasheet also references its public cloud provider's certifications. Verify the contracting entity and exact scope rather than transferring a badge to every product.
