The ‘VfL Wolfsburg’ stated that this will give the Wolves access to Kontrol’s BioCloud monitoring system, which analyzes the air quality in enclosed spaces in real time and detects viral and bacterial pathogens and other airborne contaminants at an early stage.

Particularly in this day and age, the issue of air quality in enclosed spaces is hugely important, and we’ll be able to put a new and important emphasis on this with BioCloud.”

BioCloud prowess

Enthused Paul Ghezzi, CEO, Kontrol, “We are very pleased to make our entry into European professional sports, and the sport of soccer in particular, with such an accomplished partner as VfL Wolfsburg.

Safe space technology

BioCloud is a real-time analysis tool which has been developed for the detection of airborne viruses. BioCloud has been designed to operate as a safe space technology by sampling the air quality continuously. If viruses are recognized by a ‘detection chamber’ – which can be replaced if needed – a warning is issued. BioCloud has been developed for spaces where people gather, such as classrooms, offices, retirement homes, hospitals and public transport, and should safeguard the health of VfL Wolfsburg’s teams, fans, visitors, and staff in its buildings.
