SITUATIONAL AWARENESS FOR EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS
We have been designing reliable situational awareness solutions for extreme weather events for over four decades.
OUR SOLUTIONS ARE TRUSTED FOR
MISSION-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD
FTS designs and manufactures extremely rugged systems, dataloggers, DCPs and sensors for hydrology and hydromet monitoring. Our focus is to make our customers successful in their efforts to monitor, record and analyze changes in the natural environment.
FTS commitment to our customers is to develop, deliver reliable innovative hydrologic monitoring products, systems and solutions. Our industry-leading customer care will deliver operational excellence, timely service, integrity and monitoring solutions for a changing environment.
Leveraging our experience with wildfire, we began designing complete, turnkey systems for a variety of other environmental monitoring applications. The applications we pursue are those that most closely align with our core competencies. Therefore, more than anything, we offer reliability for your meteorological and hydromet projects.
We accomplish this by developing products that are extremely rugged—they are designed to handle your extreme environments in remote locations. They are also designed with operational simplicity in mind.
Road Weather is the second largest cause of nonrecurring congestion, accounting for 25 percent of all such delays. Every year motorists endure one billion lost hours due to delays caused by snow, rain, ice, wind, and fog accounting for 24 percent of all accidents – approximately 1.5 million of them. The estimated economic costs of disruption from a single storm can be $300-$700M in just one day.
Using the Internet of Things (IoT), the FTS RWIS One is part of the next generation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), improving operational and disaster response time with quality, real-time, localized environmental data.
Transferring real-time, accurate weather data from weather stations to decision-makers is what FTS has been doing with wildfire services for the past 40 years. As 95% of power utility wildfires are ignited by distribution lines there is a need and demand for additional situational awareness in the power utility industry when it comes to wildfire risk assessment and management.
Many of the same weather monitoring and situational awareness solutions used by USA Wildfire Agencies can be readily adapted to the power utility industry, and FTS can show you how.
FTS is the world leader in environmental monitoring solutions for wildfire. FTS stations are in use by every one of the top 50 government forest management agencies in every corner of the United States and Canada. FTS portable and fixed-site weather stations set the standard for reliability and simplicity of operation, maintenance, and installation.
As a manufacturer, we design and engineer the leading datalogger that is approved and fully supported by the NIFC Remote Sensing Fire Weather Support Unit (RSFWSU). Our GOES Transmitter is recognized as the most reliable GOES technology available, and is licensed for use by other environmental monitoring equipment manufacturers.
