Keep your operations under control - whatever the weather


A powerful solution for non-meteorologists, MIST puts the latest weather information at your fingertips 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by delivering up-to-the minute forecasts direct to your PC.

  • Provides current weather data and forecast information in a convenient form on a local, regional, national or global scale
  • Easy to use
  • Suitable for a wide range of industries including aviation, building and construction, manufacturing, retail, distribution, road transport, rail, marine, water and utilities

Particularly useful in control room and operations environments, MIST can help you to:

  • Make fast and appropriate decisions
  • Forecast demand
  • Plan weather-sensitive work
  • Deploy staff and resources more efficiently
  • Ensure staff can operate in safe conditions
  • Identify weather windows so, for example, retailers can ensure an efficient consumer response (ECR), or telcos can plan vital network maintenance

MIST can be used to schedule essential maintenance and site access, co-ordinate fleet vehicle activity, prioritise distribution and delivery, and to pre-empt loss of power from telemetry systems. In the water industry, for example, it can be used to prioritise mains burst fixing, to monitor river flow and to enable real-time control of sewer systems.

The list of applications is almost endless.
