TrueWindSpeed is targeting the construction and energy industries in the Gulf region at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week<\/a>. As one of the exhibitors at the SWISS Pavilion, the Geneva-based start-up will be presenting its Heatector<\/a> from 11 to 15 January 2026. The networked environmental measuring station provides fully automated, location-specific data for extreme climatic conditions.\u00a0The high-precision sensor measures the WBGT index (wet bulb globe temperature) at the site of use in order to accurately assess the thermal load. By providing real-time data and automated alerts, it is designed to help companies comply with safety regulations and optimise their productivity.<\/p>\n

TrueWindSpeed has developed Heatector so that the measuring station can be deployed quickly and easily. The battery life is designed to allow the station to operate autonomously for five years. Heatector is now ready for the industrialisation phase.<\/p>\n

Extreme heat is a major occupational hazard recognised by the International Labour Organisation<\/a> and the World Health Organisation<\/a>, TrueWindSpeed argues in a statement. Beyond the health risks, heat stress is expected to reduce global working hours by 2.2 per cent in 2030 and cost the global economy $2.4 trillion. Heatector aims to convert this risk into manageable, verifiable data for ESG reporting. ESG stands for environmental, social and good corporate governance. In addition, the technology “protects the dignity of workers, prevents serious accidents and ensures social justice in the face of climate change,” according to TrueWindSpeed.<\/p>\n

“In a warming world, it is no longer enough to rely on general weather apps to ensure safety,” says company founder Guillaume Locher, who trained as an engineer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), in the press release. “We provide the accurate on-site data needed to transform heat hazards into measurable safety and resilience for workers.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
