Wind Safety with Internet Connectivity

Enhancing Safety Across Industries

Wind can pose significant dangers in environments where heavy equipment is operated, affecting both safety and machinery efficiency. Recognizing these challenges, Bigfoot Crane Company has partnered with NAVIS Elektronika, a global leader in anemometers, to develop cutting-edge wind monitoring technology. This collaboration aims to enhance safety and operational efficiency for customers across various industries.

The Evolution of Wind Monitoring Technology

For the past four years, Bigfoot Crane Company, as NAVIS’ exclusive partner in North America, has delivered enhanced safety and peace of mind to clients from British Columbia to Florida. NAVIS products have become essential tools on challenging job sites across several sectors, driven by a passion for continuous improvement. Recently, NAVIS has taken wind monitoring to the next level with internet connectivity, allowing for global sensor monitoring.

Ensuring Safety with Real-Time Wind Data

Initially focused on crane safety, Bigfoot Crane Company emphasizes the importance of real-time wind speed monitoring to comply with safety regulations. For instance, crane operators must halt operations if wind speeds exceed certain thresholds to prevent accidents. Companies like Phoenix Fabricators and Erectors have relied solely on NAVIS systems for critical operations, ensuring safety and efficiency on lift days.

Reliable and User-Friendly Systems

NAVIS anemometers, renowned for their reliability, simplicity, and affordability, feature two basic components: a sensor and a display. Wireless sensors can be installed quickly using magnetic brackets, making setup easy even in hard-to-reach locations. NAVIS offers a range of displays to cater to different needs, from simple audio and visual alarms to advanced systems with internet connectivity.

Responsive Development and Customization

NAVIS continuously improves its products based on customer feedback, offering various power options and connectivity solutions. Whether through Bluetooth connections to smartphones or radio-linked displays, NAVIS systems provide flexible and comprehensive wind monitoring solutions. Bigfoot Crane Company now offers multiple NAVIS systems to meet diverse industry needs, from construction to wind farms and beyond.

Remote Real-Time Monitoring with the W410-XL

In late 2019, NAVIS introduced the W410-XL, a product that integrates sensor, display, smartphone capability, SD card storage, and internet connectivity. This advancement allows users to monitor wind data remotely from anywhere in the world via the NAVIS LiveData platform, significantly enhancing safety and operational oversight.

Conclusion

Bigfoot Crane Company and NAVIS’s innovative wind monitoring solutions have set a high standard for safety and efficiency across various industries. With real-time data access and remote monitoring capabilities, these systems provide unparalleled support for ensuring safe and efficient operations.
