Operational technologies

Actionable data & alerts for real-time situational awareness, operations & maintenance

Empower proactive decisions that lessen risk & damage

From hail, rainfall and water flow forecasts to real-time observations of severe weather and flood risks, KISTERS operational technologies keep on-duty teams aware of emerging and ongoing dangers to continuous operations.

Our IT innovations bridge satellite imagery with your agency’s ground-based monitoring network. Our web browser software options support secure access and new abilities to view meaningful raster data animations, insights, interactive maps and dashboards.

Users can define group and personal dashboards as well as conditions for alarms. Then, automated notifications can alert users to developing concerns like extreme storms or when data transmission fails.

Alternatively, forecast and observed data can fuel post-event analyses. APIs can export the data for integration with long-term data management systems like WISKI.
