HAIL WATCHER
Unique HAIL monitoring system out of the box
Hail Problem
A single hailstorm can cause losses in the billion-dollar range if it occurs over a densely populated area. Property losses from hailstorms are rising with time mainly due to a combination of increases in population density and wealth.
Hail damage
Hail damage to your vehicles
can be very costly to repair.
For crop producers, there are few things as devastating as a hail storm.
Many critical parts of our infrastructure can be effected by Hail storms.
Hail Watcher
The Hail Watcher is an extremely robust, highly specialized acoustic instrument for the detection of hail and the characterization of hailstone size.
The Hail Watcher also includes an very sophisticated data logger that will store the hail event data and will send the data automatically to the data cloud. This will ensure that no measurement will get lost and you can access the information very easy in the could.
Data storage and transmission
The measurement data are stored in a heavy duty data logger, that is designed to withstand the hardest of weather conditions. The Hail Watcher come with an installed IoT Sim card. The data will be transferred to the Measurement data cloud automatically.
One of a kind Hail sensor
The Hail Watcher uses a very low-power, maintenance-free, totally sealed and mechanically ultra-robust acoustic instrument with no movable parts. It is able to detect hailstones with diameters up to 7.5 cm .
Hail information
The Hail watcher not only collect the start and end time of the Hail event. The Hail Watcher count how many hail stone impacts did he recognize per minute he also measures the size and the amount of witch hailstone size per minute.
