Big Ass Solutions has introduced AirEye, a compact but heavy-duty air mover that automatically turns on and off as it’s needed.

AirEye’s signature feature is the AirEye Occupancy Sensor (AEOS), which uses passive infrared detection and temperature sensors to automate the fan’s operation and save energy. AEOS will activate the fan with no physical input from users when they are busy or have their hands full, and users no longer have to remember to turn the fan off at the end of a shift, according to the company. AirEye equipped with AEOS will automatically shut off five minutes after it senses the airflow path is empty.

A durable, coated steel cage protects the hub and airfoils, and AirEye is IP-65 wet rated so it can be hosed clean when it gets dirty. In the event a repair is needed, all components are easily removable for quick replacement, and it’s backed by a seven-year parts warranty.

When it comes to cooling power, the company says, AirEye produces up to 25% more airflow than comparably sized fans, despite being up to 55% more efficient at full speed and three times more efficient at intermediate speeds, thanks to its specially designed blades and electrically commutated motor. And while typical portable fans have only two or threespeed settings, AirEye features an infinite-speed controller, allowing the fan to be operated at 1 to 100% of full speed.
