Our Partners
In this big, wide world, partners – or even friends – are among the most valuable things there are. We are very happy and grateful to have GRAW on our side, not only because of the founder Dr. Josef Graw in 1938 – a kindred spirit and physicist with innovative developments in atmospheric diagnostics – but also because of the current GRAW team, which carries on his legacy. Thanks to this dedicated team, they now know the entire global market for weather services.
Excellent data leads to excellent forecasts. That is exactly what Nexus does. Nexus Weather and Climate delivers localized, AI-powered weather intelligence that helps organizations turn real-time atmospheric data into decision-ready operational forecasts. We love that, and it’s the perfect complement to our real-time data.
We develop LiDAR devices – 11 different models, in fact – that are capable of performing extensive measurements and data collection. However, we also need devices that can measure in situations where LiDAR devices cannot. Our partner of choice, with a similar culture and mindset, is Radiometrics, which offers outstanding devices and software, as well as the same approach to extending and enhancing measurement data.
Well-founded software development, based on a deep understanding of software architecture and supported by AI, solves enormous challenges even or especially in the field of big data. DEJ is exactly that kind of company – and it’s right here around the corner. We are delighted to have DEJ as a partner in our neighborhood, with whom we collaborate in cultural and intellectual unity almost without words.
Our devices incorporate mechanical, electrical, and optical components that generate heat and require climate control—all complex multiphysics topics. Even though we won’t be able to perform large-scale, reliable simulations using ANSYS, it remains a highly valuable and indispensable tool for us in solving the many individual sub-tasks.
The new world also extends into the field of engineering: AI has made its way in and is making things possible that previously seemed unattainable. With Synera, we have a partner who was able to solve problems for us in a very short time – problems we had actually already deemed impossible.
When it comes to precision instruments and a very wide operating temperature range, there is no getting around carbon composites. With KVB, we have gained true masters in the art of shaping, designing, and exploiting the extreme properties of carbon composites. Our core carbon components, such as the telescopic frame or the entire LidarCUBE housing, thrive on this perfect blend of creativity and expertise.
Excellent measurement data typically require sophisticated measuring instruments, which in turn demand a courageous commitment to new technologies and processes. Brose is exactly the kind of partner that has invested in the latest Additive Manufacturing technology, enabling us to take laser housings to a new level of precision and functionality.
Our devices require many parts manufactured using traditional methods, integrated into modern technology for precision manufacturing – in other words, a fresh take on classic techniques. Astrofein is a highly dedicated partner, not only in its own areas of expertise in the satellite and aerospace sectors, but equally in our fields with similar specification requirements.
Lasers naturally play a central role in LiDAR devices. When it comes to specialized and custom lasers, CryLas is certainly one of the top choices, not just in Berlin or the surrounding area. A highly motivated and dedicated team with experience in laser engineering dating back to the very beginnings of laser technology and with the finest production expertise.
Coherent, meanwhile a big company, still retains the startup energy of smaller laser firms. We source outstanding components for the fundamentals of the laser from these specialized, agile teams at Coherent.
In addition to all the high-tech LiDAR equipment, we need “down-to-earth,” terrestrial weather data to operate the LiDAR devices themselves. This is where Airmar’s universal devices perfectly support us – and they even have a little high-tech core of their own.
We are the first company worldwide to consistently rely on the analysis of visual information of the sky to determine weather parameters, in addition to our 11 different types of LiDAR devices. The wide range of visual information – from bright blue, cloudless skies to the most challenging visibility conditions with nighttime precipitation – requires not only high-quality optical components and a high-performance camera design, but above all, sophisticated software libraries to process the large volumes of visual data. For us, IDS is the ideal partner for comprehensive support across all aspects of optical camera systems.
With MV-Wind, we have gained not only a customer as a partner. MV-Wind provides all the expertise and business areas essential to our continued development, allowing us to continuously improve our operations. MV-Wind itself is constantly striving to improve the energy yield from its wind turbines.
The MV-Wind team has extensive experience in the offshore sector and offshore construction, and is also deeply involved in the marketing, utilization, and exploitation of wind energy in our economy, such as decentralized data centers as major energy consumers located at the site of energy generation. In addition, there is in-depth knowledge and a strong network of contacts in the private aviation sector, which also greatly benefits us; see Aviation.
Climate knows no national borders.
To understand the global climate concerns, the same technical methods – such as LiDAR – are used everywhere. We, too, collaborate globally with like-minded companies, in particular in the Asian region. We are pleased to have secured the largest and best manufacturer of LiDAR technology equipment and components as a partner. We are jointly fascinated by this new world, and the exchange is intense in both directions.
Just as the climate is evolving globally in the same way across all continents.
