The story of BARANI DESIGN Technologies
At BARANI DESIGN Technologies we manufacture innovative weather stations and meteorological sensors primarily for professional use where robustness and quality of measurement are essential. Signature products include the patented design of the helical radiation shield and elliptic anemometer.
We strive to make precise professional measurements affordable.
Apart from our professional AWOS and ezMETAR weather stations, anemometers and sensors, the MeteoHelix® IoT Pro is becoming our flagship professional micro-weather station based on the patented helical design of the MeteoShield® Professional which enables these micro-weather stations to meet WMO and NWS precision in climatic measurement. The release of the MeteoHelix® IoT Home personal weather station in 2020 will follow. MeteoHelix® weather stations are offer professional precision easy to use for everyone.
BARANI DESIGN was founded in 2003 in Seattle, USA as an engineering consulting business. Over the course of five years notable projects included the design of successful Patinato DB4 and F1000 DBX formula race cars along with numerous aerospace projects. In 2017, BARANI DESIGN Technologies separated from BARANI DESIGN to focus exclusively on technology.
Engineering & Design services continues this tradition, serving the engineering needs of some of the world's largest corporations.
Meteorological sensors division naturally grew out of the Engineering division with the vision and passion for innovation.
People Services division, now a separate entity, offers trained technical personnel mainly for the construction industry in Germany, Austria and Holland and can be found at www.baranidesign.de and www.baranidesign.sk
ISO:9001 quality
Differentiate yourself from the competition and reach your gold standard of measurement with BARANI DESIGN sensors.
