Sensor-based snow measuring system
The patented Smart Roof Monitoring System (SRMS©) for very large roof areas and critical load zones - up to 14 sensors per cluster.
At a glance
Smart Roof Monitoring System.
Our patented snow load monitoring system is an extension of our basic snow load measurement system. It provides a solution for monitoring snow loads on very large roof areas or particularly vulnerable sections of the roof.
Sensor-based system overview
The readings from each snow sensor are transmitted to the base unit via Wi-Fi. Like the base station, the snow sensors operate completely independently and require no cables or power supply. Up to 14 snow sensors can be connected to a single base station.

Monitor large roof areas and vulnerable sections of the roof in a targeted manner
On large roof surfaces, the snow cover can be subject to significant fluctuations, for example due to snow pockets forming around roof structures, firewalls, or photovoltaic systems. The snow load varies accordingly. These fluctuations in snow load can only be detected by a large number of measurement points. Our snow sensors can be installed, for example, in each row of photovoltaic panels, thereby precisely detecting the sliding of snow masses off the photovoltaic arrays. Because of the large number of measurement points, the total load on the flat roof is also represented much more realistically and accurately than it would be with just a single measurement point.
