Case Study: Plume Labs achieves real-time, street-by-street global air quality mapping with Mapbox

Plume Labs - Customer Case Study

Plume Labs builds personal air-quality monitors and needed to deliver a global, street-by-street air pollution map and live air quality index that updates every 15 minutes. The challenge was processing frequent, distributed sensor data and producing fast, reliable maps for users without managing a complex fleet of mapping servers.

By streaming sensor data to Mapbox Tiling Service (MTS), Plume Labs offloads tile generation and gets enterprise-grade tilesets built and available within minutes. The result is real-time global air quality maps that help users avoid pollution hotspots and choose healthier routes while walking, running, or cycling.
