Mertani Automatic Weather Station (AWS) in Plantations
​
Mertani Automatic Weather Station (AWS) will assist you in monitoring the climatic conditions within the plantation from anywhere and at any time. With this data, you will have a stronger foundation for determining operational policies, both in terms of timing, location, and human resources (HR) deployment.
​
Challenge
-
Natural disasters such as floods, droughts, storms, and landslides are occurring more frequently and becoming more severe. Changes in weather patterns due to climate change make predicting natural disasters more challenging. This highlights the importance of careful environmental monitoring and effective early warning systems.
-
The uneven distribution of weather observation networks, especially in remote areas, along with the limitations of weather measurement technology, pose challenges that need to be addressed to provide more accurate weather information. This underscores the importance of developing broader weather observation infrastructure and more advanced technology.
About Automatic Weather Station (AWS)
Definition
The Automatic Weather Station (AWS) is a device that allows you to monitor climate conditions in your plantation automatically, wherever and whenever you are. With the data collected by AWS, you can make better operational decisions, including determining timing, location, and allocation of human resources (HR) based on stronger foundations.

Study Case
Installation of Automatic Weather Station (AWS) in Pinrang, South Sulawesi to assist in monitoring weather conditions.
​
In October 2023, a team from Mertani traveled to Pinrang, Makassar, South Sulawesi Province to install and calibrate a number of devices. They brought along 6 AWS devices. The AWS devices were installed with the aim of monitoring weather conditions, such as wind direction, wind speed, air pressure, humidity, and air temperature.
