Best Practices to Harness Wind Direction Indicators in Industrial Settings

Wind direction indicators play a vital role in various industrial environments. From managing emissions in manufacturing facilities to optimizing airflow in warehouses, wind direction indicators are essential.  These indicators can protect assets, boost efficiency, and ensure safe operations. Many industries rely heavily on reliable environmental sensors to support everyday decisions where accuracy truly matters. Why […]

Making Smart Decisions in a Spec-Obsessed Industry In Parts 1 and 2 of this series, we peeled back the curtain on “Spec Range Swagger”—the industry tendency to inflate environmental sensor specs beyond practical application. At Comptus, we’ve built our reputation on real-world performance, not marketing bravado. Now, let’s talk about how you—engineers, procurement teams, facility […]

Wind energy production depends on sustained accuracy in environmental monitoring. A wind anemometer forms the foundation of this process, providing ongoing data critical to turbine function. Without consistent measurement of wind speed and direction, performance dips, mechanical stress builds, and output targets fluctuate. Industrial-grade meteorological equipment translates natural conditions into actionable insights for turbine operators. […]

In the ongoing debate between propeller anemometers and 3-cup anemometers, manufacturers often highlight the advanced features of propeller-based sensors—like rapid response, finer resolution, and high-speed durability. But in real-world deployments, especially in harsh or remote environments, simplicity and mechanical resilience often matter more than marginal gains in lab-tested precision. The image above offers a compelling […]

Wind plays a significant role in shaping weather patterns. Shifts in atmospheric pressure cause air to move, creating different wind speeds and directions. These variations influence everything from temperature changes to storm development. When a storm begins to form, wind acts as both a driving force and an early indicator of potential severity. Rapid changes […]

Anemometers are devices used to measure wind speed. All wind meters measure speed by how the device reacts to the wind. As you buy anemometers, you may find the process more complicated than you expected. There are various types of anemometers on the market, so research is essential. You should also buy from a reputable […]
