KISTERS has launched HailSens360 across Europe, combining real-time hail sensors with hyperlocal forecasts and nowcast alerts to protect solar, crops, and insured assets.

According to KISTERS, HailSens360 brings together advanced hail detection, high-resolution forecasting, and real-time decision support in a single, unified platform.

“Already used across solar energy, agriculture, and insurance sectors in the US, it enables organisations to make faster, better-informed decisions in the face of hail risk,” the firm added.

Powered by European weather data provider Meteomatics, the solution reportedly overcomes Europe’s fragmented weather data landscape.

“Unlike the US, where open weather data is widely available, the European meteorological data landscape has long been fragmented and despite EU Commission directives aiming at more open weather data, still costly. KISTERS chose to partner with Meteomatics precisely because of their proven ability to navigate this complexity,” KISTERS explained.

Johan Jaques, Solution owner at KISTERS, commented, “Our experience in the US showed the power of combining sensor precision with software intelligence.

“Partnering with Meteomatics means we can finally offer that same value across Europe, with local data access and forecasting quality needed to make it work.”

Chris Rees, Partnerships Manager, Meteomatics, said, “Together with KISTERS, we’re closing the data gap that has long held back better hail risk management in Europe.”
