Crowcon has unveiled the IQ range, a new family of connected, portable gas detectors built to transform how safety teams protect people, manage fleets, and stay compliant in high-risk industries.

This isn’t just a product launch, it’s a whole ecosystem. From single and dual-gas wearables (UnoIQ and DuoIQ) to rugged area monitors (DetectiveIQ) and real-time cloud-based insights, the IQ range combines modular design with smart connectivity. At its core, it adapts to changing site needs while taking the hassle out of keeping detectors reliable and compliant.

Built for simplicity, designed for reliability, and packed with intelligent features, the IQ range is set to shake up safety standards across sectors like oil & gas, renewables, chemicals, pharma, utilities, food & beverage, and more.

Smarter safety for the environments that need it most.

Invisible gas risks are among the most serious on-site hazards. That said, industry analysis shows nearly 80%1 of portable gas detectors aren’t properly maintained or calibrated, making them unreliable when they’re needed most.

The IQ range tackles that head-on; with IQHub, bump tests take under 10 seconds, and full calibrations are complete in just 30 seconds, meaning detectors stay ready without slowing the job down.

And with 56%2 of confined space fatalities linked to oxygen depletion or toxic gases, it’s clear: compliance isn’t just a box to tick; it’s frontline protection.

Designed for the real world

Every IQ device features downward-facing sensors that reduce false alarms caused by dust, debris, or even exhaled CO₂, helping teams trust the alerts they receive.

Modular, pre-calibrated sensor trays can be swapped out in minutes, so devices can be adapted to new risks without taking them offline or sending them off-site: this reality is defining the new era of safety.

Want more? Battery life sets a new benchmark too, which means these wearables can run for up to six months on a single charge, more than double what’s typical.

Each wearable device connects seamlessly with IQHub for fast testing and automatic data upload. At the same time, Crowcon Connect gives managers live visibility of alarms, compliance status, and device activity across the entire fleet, no matter the location.

The IQ range was designed to solve the day-to-day frustrations safety teams face. It strips back the complexity of traditional gas detection and replaces it with modular tech, fast servicing, and smart, connected insights, all without compromising protection.

TL;DR? In short, it’s gas detection, evolved.
