Revolutionary platform streamlines assessments with advanced algorithms, delivering up to 90% faster results
Skytree Scientific is transforming the lightning protection industry with the launch of LRA Plus™, an AI-integrated platform that revolutionises how organisations conduct lightning risk assessments worldwide. This breakthrough solution represents a fundamental shift from outdated manual methods to precise, data-driven analysis – addressing the growing challenge of increased lightning activity in our changing climate.
The industry challenge
Lightning protection professionals have long struggled with significant limitations in traditional assessment methods. Manual calculations rely on outdated information such as keraunic levels, which are subjective and frequently lead to over-engineering or dangerous under-protection. These time-consuming processes are prone to human error, require extensive on-site surveys, and often delay critical safety decisions – creating both cost inefficiencies and potential safety hazards.
The LRA Plus™ solution
LRA Plus eliminates these barriers by empowering engineers and organisations with comprehensive tools and insights for informed decision-making across all lightning protection systems.
