一、Business

“Zhuhai Bright Aviation”provides equipment supply, installation and commissioning, technical guidance, panel repair, factory training, after-sales service, technical consultation, spare parts support, equipment fault maintenance, periodic patrol inspection, system optimization and upgrading, etc. (Turnkey Project).

二、Overview

1、 Automatic Weather Station (AWS) provides six elements (wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation) of conventional weather 

around the airport runway. It is one of the necessary infrastructures in the modern aviation system through high-precision and highly reliable real-time weather data to ensure flight safety of airport flights and improve flight operation efficiency.

2、"Automatic Weather Station", also known as "Conventional Weather Observation Station", "Conventional Weather Observation System", "Conventional Automatic Weather Observation Station", etc.

3、The difference between "AWS"  and "AWOS" :

(1)  "AWS" is a simple set of weather observation equipment, which only provides and measures six elements of conventional weather data (wind direction, wind speed, pressure, temperature, relative humidity and precipitation) and system software around the airport runway.

(2)  "AWOS" can not only provide and measure the six elements of conventional weather data around the airport runway, but also provide the runway visual range, cloud height, weather phenomenon and other sensor data, and is equipped with a powerful monitoring and automation software integration system.

三、Characteristic

1. Monitor the data of six weather elements (wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation) 24 hours a day.

2. Real time monitoring data. When the threshold setting value is exceeded, visual graphics and voice alarm prompt will be provided in time.

3. Perfect weather observation software, lifelong free system upgrade.

4. Communication mode: wired (optical cable or telephone cable) or wireless dual backup communication mode (optional).

5. Power supply mode: AC and DC power supply.

6. Stainless steel support and outdoor protection box are used. The box is solid, beautiful, corrosion resistant, waterproof and moisture-proof.

7. Continuous working for 24 hours, working stability ≥ 10 years.
