VisualEyes is an intuitive web-based weather alert system designed in conjunction with the renewables industry to help you manage your wind farm assets in the UK and Europe.

It can help you manage health and safety risks, better plan your operations, reduce costs and enhance revenue.

"The comprehensive view VisualEyes provides for our wind farms allows us to plan our work schedules and ensure the safety of the people on site, in line with weather conditions. The clear but detailed information given by the system is extremely user-friendly and provides an ideal solution to our needs."

Mark Gailey, Control Centre Manager, ScottishPower Renewables

VisualEyes has three distinct but integrated components that come together in a visual hub to give you a simple asset management platform.

Map viewer - based on Google Maps, with customised site pins to visualise your operations, and colour-coded to alert you to any weather element threshold breach.

Alert panel - provides a detailed breakdown of which weather elements are triggering which alerts, enabling you to view the movement of threshold breaches hour-by-hour out to 36 hours.

Planning charts - generate an up to 14-day customisable weather analysis report to disseminate to colleagues with detailed charts from a choice of weather elements.
