WSI Is Ready To Take Over The World... Weather-Wise

WSI is one of the most well-known 'names' in aviation whenever the subject of weather comes up... and for a darned good reason. The company keeps inventing and innovating their technologies and services in order to find ways to serve all aspects of aviation and the industries that use aviation as part of their daily business.

One of the more intriguing products for 2011 is WSI Fusion... WSI tells ANN that their 'Fusion' product 'is a proactive operations management solution that fuses public and proprietary weather information, airspace constraints, flight information, and operational data into a unified and clear operational picture to streamline and enhance operational decision making. WSI Fusion helps dispatchers, operations personnel, and managers stay aware and ahead of changing conditions, mitigate the impact of disruptive events, and ultimately stay on plan, on time, and on budget.'

WSI Hubcast is geared toward airport operations. WSI Hubcast delivers comprehensive, easy-to-interpret forecasts for improved evaluation and management of inclement weather events and sends lightning strike warnings (by text message or email) to designated personnel for enhanced ground worker safety. All information can be accessed via any internet-connected PC, so there’s no hardware to install and minimal training to operate.

'Airport details' have been upgraded... A dispatcher may review a dynamic route briefing including alternate airport data, if integrated. The routes tab displays a flight plan filed route, as well as all route amendments recorded for a flight, once airborne. A visualization of the flight’s vertical profile and fuel burn down may be found on the profile tab. The design of this extensible interface allows for expansion of next generation products and services.

Airport Details has been expanded to include NOTAMS and a proprietary Air Traffic Management assessment of traffic flow management initiatives, airborne holding, and recent diversions. This aeronautical information management portal allows for interface extensions to include airport specific data as supplied by flight operations such as critical phone numbers, hours of operation and field conditions, among others.
