Hassle-Free Wireless Wind Monitoring for Empty Container Yards

Empty shipping containers are vulnerable to high winds during stored and moved in large open yards. To improve the operation safety, WindPro is trusted with hassle-free and reliable wind monitoring capabilities.

Background

In the past, many container yards relied on wired anemometers to monitor wind conditions. However, these wired systems had significant drawbacks, including limited flexibility in placement and exposure to wear and tear due to the open environment. Seeking a more convenient solution, CCIS ANL Australia opted for WindPro, the wireless anemometer to enhance wind safety monitoring at max. 1,000 m range.

Solution

WindPro was utilized by locating the wind sensor in a higher area of the container yard. The installation is quick in two steps:

  1. Lock the wind sensor onto the magnetic bracket.
  2. Mount it on the metal surface and it starts measure the wind.

The wind sensor features a 3-year battery life and IP67 certified for all-weather durability, ensuring low maintenance and allowing officers to keep it deployed without frequent removal.

Control console is located inside the office, within a 1,000-meter wireless range of the wind sensor. Officers can view real-time wind speed and direction data. When wind speeds are high, the 4 wind alerts can help notify officers as the wind speed gradually increases. Wind alerts are configurable and easily noticeable both audibly and visually.
