Operators of mission-critical facilities like data centers and nuclear plants face escalating cooling loads and reliability risks as external heat intensifies. Even minor temperature fluctuations around air intakes, cooling towers, and external walls can impact uptime, energy use, and equipment lifespan. Yet, most environmental monitoring systems only track indoor conditions, overlooking the hyperlocal microclimate dynamics that develop around dense equipment, reflective surfaces, or nearby structures. This blind spot limits predictive maintenance accuracy, leading to overcooling, component degradation, and higher operational costs.
FortyGuard's Solution
FortyGuard’s Temperature API (starting at $79/month), part of our detailed heat analytics platform, delivers continuous, localized heat intelligence measured at 2 meters above the ground with 10 m² spatial resolution. The API integrates with building management and SCADA systems to correlate ambient heat exposure with performance data, helping engineers identify thermal hotspots and optimize cooling setpoints. Advisory services support the development of predictive maintenance models and localized resilience plans.
Value Creation
Cost Optimization – Reduces overcooling inefficiencies and energy-intensive redundancy cycles.
Commercial Uplift – Improves uptime reliability and operational resilience under extreme heat conditions.
Enablement – Provides a data foundation for precision cooling, predictive maintenance, and regulatory compliance.
