Mission:
Embedded Datalogger for Meteorological Systems (EDAMS®) is an automatic weather station for surface weather measurements, providing field-proven reliability and accuracy. EDAMS® can be combined with Techno Sky e-AWOS system, allowing TWR observers to collect and monitor a set of meteorological data measured near the runway. Nowadays EDAMS® provides meteorological
information at over 40 Italian airports.

Operational Scenario:
Acquisition of meteorological raw data from analog and digital field sensors, such as anemometers, barometers, thermometers, hygrometers, rain gauges and other instruments.

Key benefits:
• Independence from sensors vendor
• Easy integration with existing third party systems
• Flexible solution suitable to be easily expanded
• Configured according to local operational needs in several applications, such as aviation, agriculture, hydrology and climatology.
• Easy to service and maintain
• Low operational costs
• Low power consumption

Main technical features and overview:
• Validation and quality check of meteorological raw data according to operating sensors parameters
• Elaboration of data averages such as wind (direction and intensity), temperature, relative humidity and precipitation, as well as QNH, QFE, dew point and other derived data, according to ICAO standards and WMO guidelines
• Easy remote monitoring of weather data and sensors status via EDAMS® Viewer software application, or Techno Sky e-AWOS system or third party AWOS class systems
• Redundancy in communication interfaces, allowing data to be transmitted by means of different technologies
• Optional integration of smart instruments, such as transmissometers, ceilometers, visibility and present weather sensors
