The heat index, which only considers temperature and humidity in shady conditions, falls short of capturing the real strain on the body of working or exercising in the sun. By contrast, the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) goes further by also including sunlight, wind, and other factors, providing a more accurate measure of real-world heat stress.

Proactive, accurate monitoring is essential to support occupational heat action plans and public safety strategies.

Why a heat stress solution:

• To protect your workers – Early detection of dangerous heat conditions helps reduce sickness and safeguard long-term productivity.

• To supports safety at scale and meet guidelines – Accurate data enables timely protective measures in many industries such as agriculture, construction, manufacturing, military training, smart cities, and sports sites management. It helps meet guidelines set for outdoor work and leisure.

• Reliable, robust and easy to use – Compact, robust design with low-maintenance, solid-state sensors ensures dependable performance. Easy set-up, single data string output, and compatibility with multiple communication protocols.
