When estimates are not enough
Meet Xcast — an AI-powered weather forecasting technology tailored to your business.
Xcast
Imagine every decision you make is the right one.
Your business. Your forecast.
Traditional weather forecasts often fall short for weather-sensitive businesses. They tend to be too general, covering wide areas and failing to reflect the precise conditions at specific locations or meet the critical thresholds that businesses rely on. To fill in the gaps in traditional forecasts, Xcast uses local sensor data to generate forecasts incorporating the unique characteristics of where it matters most.
Demonstrated accuracy improvements of up to 78%
Xcast for weather-sensitive businesses
Powered by Xcast, Xweather Insight provides the measurements, forecasts, analysis, and alerts to optimize daily business operations, improve preparedness and resilience against severe weather, and enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability. A go-to solution for weather-sensitive and weather-dependent industries.
Xcast for winter maintenance operations
Winter road maintenance requires comprehensive weather insights across your entire network, and generic forecasts fall short of effectively aiding decision-making. Enhanced with local data from Xcast sensors, Wx Horizon helps you make data-driven decisions that reduce environmental impact, target treatments correctly, and enhance road safety.
Fuel your forecasts with ground-truth data
Anticipate threats and opportunities. React with precision. Make the right decision every time.
