VANCOUVER, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Carl Data Solutions Inc. CRL FSE:7C5,CDTAF ("Carl Data" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that Astra Smart Systems Inc.

The broad detecting scope, high sensitivity and a fast response time of AirSafe, combined with Carl Data's technology agnostic platform's built in alerting and alarming tools will allow for better real-time safety for assets and workers. This machine learning/AI enabled device will also be able to use data to give accurate future predictions about an environment, helping industries to be proactive with operations and risk management.

"These pilots are just the beginning of what Astra and Carl Data are going to accomplish within the huge burgeoning environmental monitoring market," said Greg Johnston, Carl Data President and CEO. "Our clients will be amazed at the variety of products and applications we will be bringing to market in the new year."
