Weather intelligence for every industry
Agriculture
With demand on the rise and the entire agriculture supply chain under enormous pressure, adapting to the weather quickly is more important than ever. Growers are struggling to balance this increase in demand with a lack of labor, the changing climate, and the uncertainty of everyday work. What they need is someone to make the decision-making process easier.
That’s where agriculture technology is stepping up to solve real problems on a daily basis. Rather than just offering the forecast, farmers need to understand the impact of weather on their everyday operations to maximize yield and improve crops.
Here’s why more farmers today are looking for weather-driven insights.
Transportations & Logistics
Weather is one of the most dangerous roadway variables.
Hazardous conditions account for 25% of all accidents, and one single accident can cost up +$100k—not including injuries/fatalities.
For logistics organizations like trucking companies, accident prevention requires an advanced approach to weather, espeically as winter looms.
While most organizations reactively monitor changing conditions along routes, this doesn’t account for the majority of drivers who don’t take specific routes. As a result, it’s nearly impossible to proactively alert and protect these vehicles…until now.
Real-Time Weather Monitoring allows logistics leaders to automatically identify which vehicles face dangerous conditions and and confidently contact drivers at the right time to prevent accidents.
Contruction
Construction is, as much as any industry, often impacted by weather. And while construction professionals can’t control the weather, being able to forecast it and apply deep industry expertise to that type of weather intelligence is the key to minimizing the negative impact of weather on their operations and to optimize jobs as much as possible.
At the top of how construction is impacted by inclement weather is crew safety. Simply put, many weather scenarios make it not just difficult for construction crews to work in, but downright dangerous. A surprise lightning strike, howling wind gusts that put roofers at risk, or heat waves that hit crews with surprise heat exhaustion are all examples of dangerous weather.
For crew operators and managers, time is money, and having to make decisions about whether to schedule a crew for a certain day or how many jobs to schedule when the forecast suggests some possibility of rain and dark cloudy skies are looming can be excruciating. The goal of weather intelligence is to combine hyper-accurate weather forecasts with business and industry expertise for what type of thresholds and conditions are workable, to simplify those go / no-go decisions.
Energy & Utilities
Utility companies are no strangers to disruptions from severe weather. High winds can damage lines and knock out power for thousands of customers. Ice and snow can cause pipes to burst, leading to water shortages. And extreme heat can tax the gas system, causing service disruptions.
