New Weather IoT Sensor

"Soratena Pro" is a compact and high-performance weather IoT sensor that can observe seven elements every minute: air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, rainfall amount, wind direction, wind velocity, and illuminance."Soratena Pro" wind sensors which can detect elevated disaster risks through observation of heavy rain and strong winds of 50 mm/h and 50 m/s, respectively."Soratena Pro" can visualize on-site weather conditions using the high-performance weather IoT sensor and communicate weather changes as quickly as possible through the application, so it can be used for corporate safety measures and productivity improvement in agriculture, construction, drones, logistics, sports, electric power, food retail, apparel, and other industries.

On the dedicated page, seven types of observation data can be viewed in real time and past data can be checked in graphs. Furthermore, push notifications will be sent out when the observed value exceeds the threshold value. Users can select two elements from air temperature, rainfall amount, and wind velocity, and set the thresholds and titles. By predetermining actions to be taken in response to notifications, companies can respond quickly to heavy rain, strong winds, and high/low air temperatures.

In addition, paid contents for general use, such as raincloud radar and notification functions, are available without advertisements. The weather content of the highest weather forecast accuracy application and the observation data of "Soratena Pro" are provided on the same platform, so you can seamlessly check the weather information useful for your business with one application.

One of the most popular paid features of the application is the "Raincloud radar," which allows you to check data every 10 minutes for up to 30 hours ahead with ultra-high resolution of 250m-mesh. In addition, an extensive range of disaster prevention information is available, including "Multiple typhoon track forecasts" and "Blackout risk predictions," both of which are useful when typhoons are approaching, and "Heavy snow pinpoint," which provides snow accumulation and freezing forecasts during heavy snowfall. Furthermore, push notifications can be sent out to the current location or to up to 20 registered locations for alerts, earthquakes, lightning strikes, tornadoes, etc.

Dedicated websites for PC version empowering data analysis are available

Dedicated websites for PC version provide weather information along with real-time video footage and past observation data. Users can specify the month and date to check daily and minute-by-minute observation data in graphs. All observation data from the date of installation up until now are stored in the cloud, and the data can be downloaded in CSV format. Past data for rain clouds, wind direction, and wind velocity up to 24 hours ago and forecast data up to 72 hours ahead can be displayed on a map. Using dedicated websites for PC version is recommended when analyzing the observation data against the damage situation, or when monitoring the data on a display in an office or other locations.
