Scientists at Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) – a world leader in the field of marine research – are at the next stage of their ground-breaking efforts to understand and unravel the complexities of measuring wind on a moving platform, using Gill Instruments R3 3-axis anemometers

We are excited to be working with Viu Insight in a range of innovative applications using WindSonic as part of their AirStat system to measure and track air flows in critical process environments. AirStat is a handheld device with integrated mobile app and dashboards including 3D visualisation.
The units are being used to measure airspeed with high sensitivity in specialist applications including cleanrooms, paint shops and healthcare critical environments.

There’s nothing to beat a real customer endorsement. This one shows when we say ‘fit and forget’ we really mean it:
‘I would like to send some praise to your company [Gill] for our [WindSonic] anemometer which has worked flawlessly and maintenance free for many many years in the harshest conditions, stuck on a pole on top of our sailing club. Some great engineering there, thank you!’
– Chris, Allen, IT Manager, Slaughden Sailing Club.
With products that are built to last, requiring virtually no maintenance (we think this WindSonic has been in place over 10 years), we enjoy a strong and long standing customer base and it is always great to hear what they have to say. Thank you Chris for sending us your thoughts out of the blue, much appreciated.
The tidal-powered turbine generates power from fast-flowing tidal waters off Orkney, providing clean energy from a predictable, renewable resource. The off-shore turbine is connected by subsea cable to the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) and the onshore electricity network. It has been designed to meet the annual electricity demand of 2,000 homes for the next 15 years. WindSonic is one of the sensors on-board and provides highly accurate and reliable real-time wind data.
