Meteorology
Sustainability is a often-used word. But building environmental monitoring networks is complicated and expensive. When planning, therefore, it is important to consider the sustainability - means service life of the entire system. And since this typically should be more than 10 years, the system must allow permanent modernization and improvements.
Our technology is designed to bring you benefits:
- High long-term stability of the sensor technology
- Very long service life
- Extreme robustness
- Precise measurements
- Calibration capability of the sensor
- Reliable measurement even under extreme conditions
- Software upgrades

Your application - your decisions
You know your application and take the decisions...
...we supply the measurement data that you need for this purpose.
We deal with the measurement of all environmental data. Smart sensors allow not only reliable measurement with advanced technology, but also computing and diagnostic functions. And, via the serial interfaces of the smart sensor, the information can also be forwarded for post-processing in various languages (protocols). Whether cloud, datalogger or ”smart communicator”. Smart sensors facilitate streamlined hardware architecture in the entire measurement setup.
Variety of applications in Meteorology:
- Climate research / Science Weather forecasting
- Extreme weather warnings
- Airport weather monitoring
- Air quality monitoring networks
- Agro-meteorological monitoring networks
System Concept
Individual sensors or modular-designed all-in-one sensors supply data for further processing via an open interface. Whether GPRS, LAN, WLAN or satellite transmission, the necessary infrastructure to provide real-time data for decision-making is available worldwide.
Reliable Measurement Data
Big data provides ever increasing amounts of environmental data. Which sources can you use for decision- making? Which data can you trust? For this, in every measurement network in the future there needs to be a number of reference stations, which always measure correctly. Guaranteed.
