Model Atstorm -Smart Early Warning System
Lightning risk assessment based on local sensors, IoT technology and expert algorithms. ATSTORM® is the smart lightning storm detector, designed to activate and deactivate temporary preventive actions that minimise the risks derived from a possible lightning strike. The ATSTORM® lightning storm detector system is a smart solution supported by IoT technologies, based on the evaluation of the conditions of the area to be protected and multiple data that support the expert algorithms. The ATSTORM® storm detector system makes it possible to prevent occupational hazards, objectively determine real local risk and optimise downtime due to a possible lightning storm.
The electrostatic field is the only direct and unambiguous indicator of the risk of lightning strikes under any circumstances, according to IEC 62793:2020.
The ATSTORM® storm detector system collects real-time information from detection units and transfers it to AT-CLOUD. Through specialised algorithms the system estimates the risk of a lightning storm on the site, recognising the conditions that require an alert to be provided.
Data collection
Continuous monitoring of the electrostatic and electromagnetic field, detecting local risk before the start of discharges, as well as lightning strikes tens of kilometres away.
Local data is sent to the cloud where expert algorithms accurately identify storm formation or approaching storm in the area.
The processed information is sent to the user in form of alerts, providing anticipation time (tens of minutes) to initiate preventive actions.
Ad-hoc projects
Lightning storms are complex and highly dynamic phenomena. To ensure the best system performance at the location to be protected, we analyse the location individually and determine the best system configuration in terms of the number of sensors and their location.
Smart early warning system
Identification of pre-lightning storm conditions, providing alerts for objective decision making.
Sensors with uninterrupted operationand
high reliability.
Electronic detectors without moving parts minimise maintenance requirements and optimise efficiency.
Expert system
System performance improves the longer the service time at a given location thanks to self-learning techniques and adaptive algorithms.
Remotely controlled by expert personnel via IoT
The sensors are permanently connected to the centralised calculation system of Aplicaciones Tecnológicas S.A., where the signal is processed, performance is monitored and alerts are sent to users.
Dual sensing technology:
The electrostatic field is the only technology capable to warn of lightning storm formation in the area. ATSTORM® also has electromagnetic field sensing to extend the detection area of approaching active lightning storms.
