Columbia Weather Systems

When Modesto Dairy Solutions was looking for an accurate, durable weather monitoring solution to optimize production and manage milking operations, they chose Columbia Weather Systems. “We use Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed, Wind Direction and Wet Bulb for our cooling control. We also trend and record other weather data for the customer to see,” automation engineer Bill DeWitt says. Modesto Dairy’s custom, proprietary technology incorporates CWS weather stations and temperature/humidity sensors to help manage production efficiency and cow comfort.

Recent feedback from an industrial customer: “So far the Orion 420 is a big hit. Operators are using the barometric pressure, wind direction, and temp to predict when the big deer bucks will be moving. The analog interface to our controls system worked out very well. You guys did a good job putting it all together for an easy ‘top of the buildings’ install.”   —Engineering Consultant, Kinston, NC Inset: Screen shot of MicroServer Realtime Display For more information: Orion 420™ Weather Station

Mechanical wind sensors on the test bench. As a component of the modular Capricorn FLX™ Weather Station, these reliable wind speed and direction sensors offer a cost-effective option for professional weather monitoring. The Capricorn’s modular design allows for individual sensor selection and placement, including up to four temperature sensors. A descendant of the flagship Capricorn Weather Station, the Capricorn line of weather stations is popular worldwide with government agencies, military, universities, and companies such as Continental Tires, Boeing, and Walsh Construction.

While we might not be able to change the direction of the wind, our weather stations can tell you which way it's blowing! ColumbiaWeather.com
