Client Challenge

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) — from aerospace and HVAC to automotive and industrial equipment — often design products in temperate regions but sell into extreme environments like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider MENA region. These companies are blind to the localized urban heat profiles where their products operate. Conventional testing relies on controlled lab environments or averaged weather data, which fail to replicate the on-the-ground thermal conditions that materials, electronics, and mechanical systems experience in desert or high-density urban climates. This leads to performance degradation, warranty claims, and customer dissatisfaction in high-heat markets.

FortyGuard's Solution

FortyGuard’s Temperature API (starting at $79/month), part of our detailed heat analytics platform, delivers hyperlocal environmental intelligence measured at 2 meters above the ground with 10 m² spatial resolution, enabling OEMs to understand real-world product exposure across markets. Engineers and designers can use this data to evaluate how extreme heat, surface conditions, and solar loading affect performance and material fatigue. The API integrates seamlessly into simulation tools and digital twin environments, while FortyGuard’s advisory team supports clients in adapting testing protocols and certification processes to reflect real climate conditions.
