S. GIBSON / Operations Manager
We use Windcrane because it has the capability of equipment that meets our needs - for reliable use in remote locations anywhere in the World.
The 3G connection, recording of information on a central server and ability to access via PC or mobile device anywhere in the world is very important for us in terms of monitoring our tower structures and cable camera systems at winter and summer sporting events.
The ability to use solar energy to power systems enables use in very remote locations.
We use the WINDCRANE systems for basic safety monitoring of our tower structures from our UK base – the main role.
Also for local operational information when the cable camera systems are installed – live monitoring of wind speed and temperature at the tower site for example.
We also use the systems on other temporary event structures where wind speed is a major safety factor.

S. GÜRSU / Operations Director
The WINDCRANE mini brings reassurance and peace of mind not only to us as the artists but also to our clients. The online monitoring and the app makes it easy for us to give access to the data to the people who need it. Production mangers for the event, on-site maintenance teams and the client's themselves can check the windspeed with a click of a button no matter where they are located. This ensure we all can react quickly if needed. Our requirements were simple, our team and customers needed to know what the wind speed was right now. Windcrane delivered it.
CHESNEY ROBINSON / Artist
Three months and they haven't skipped a beat. We are harvesting data from these and other monitors right now and these are honestly the least bothersome of all of them, and your website records with no data glitches over time.
