Discover the HailSens difference

Use case

Solar farms

Ground-truth hail impact measurements are critical for assessing hailstorm intensity and severity. HailSens IoT provides objective assessments with real-time data triggering alerts and actionable insights, enabling timely response. Flexible data transmission and integration with existing systems supports seamless data flow. Low power requirements make deployment easy and efficient, even in areas with limited power availability.

Use case

Insurance

HailSens IoT’s large sensing area capturesa more representative sample across a wide range of hailstone sizes. This enables a more accurate analysis of hail size distribution, allowing insurers to assess claims quickly and efficiently, while improving communication and trust between insurer and policyholder.

Use case

Building management

Regular hail monitoring can help real estate managers protect the long-term value of their properties by identifying potential vulnerabilities and taking proactive measures to mitigate future risks, preserving asset value.

Use case

Emergency preparedness

HailSens IoT is an invaluable tool for identifying extreme weather events and leveraging the collected data to inform future preparedness strategies. HailSens provides real-time data, enabling emergency services and those affected to be alerted promptly. This facilitates the swift implementation of measures to protect assets and people. The speed and quality of the data enables efficient coordination of emergency teams with accurate information, optimizing resource allocation and recovery efforts. Detailed hail data and early warnings enhance public safety and reduce risk, while comprehensive data helps communities develop better preparedness plans and strengthen resilience to future hail events.

"HailSens represents the culmination of years of dedicated research. As the only hail sensor that seamlessly integrates with hailpad data – the gold standard for scientists worldwide – HailSens delivers continuity and accuracy in hail impact data collection. Proven in the field, HailSens provides unparalleled real-time insights, making it the first choice for both insurance claims and scientific research."
