FT wind sensors bring the latest developments in software processing and aeroacoustics to give you the best performance, efficiency and reliability at all times. ![Wind Turbine Control Wind Sensors](https://fttechnologies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FT%20Tech%20-%20Blend/Pages/Application/Frame%20481.png?width=600&height=621&name=Frame%20481.png) ![](https://fttechnologies.com/hubfs/FT%20Tech%20-%20Blend/Pages/Module%20reference/FT%20Waves%20(1).svg) ![](https://fttechnologies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FT%20Tech%20-%20Blend/Background%20elements/hero-large-wave-tablet-1.png?width=928&height=522&name=hero-large-wave-tablet-1.png) ![](https://fttechnologies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FT%20Tech%20-%20Blend/Background%20elements/hero-large-wave-mobile-1.png?width=767&height=688&name=hero-large-wave-mobile-1.png) ## Why choose FT High levels of data availability enables a greater level of control to increase your output, reduce maintenance and improve the profitability of your system. Below are a selection of wind control system applications FT wind sensors are ideally suited for: ![FT Wind Sensors Onshore Wind Turbines](https://fttechnologies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FT%20Tech%20-%20Blend/Pages/Application/wind-turbine-fields.png?width=1350&height=1398&name=wind-turbine-fields.png)![Precision Farming with FT Anemometers](https://fttechnologies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FT%20Tech%20-%20Blend/Pages/Application/Frame%205708963.png?width=1350&height=1398&name=Frame%205708963.png)![9661-grain storage anemometer](https://fttechnologies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FT%20Tech%20-%20Blend/Pages/Application/9661-grain%20storage%20anemometer.jpg?width=1000&height=667&name=9661-grain%20storage%20anemometer.jpg) - ###### Wind turbines Accurate wind direction data enables the turbine to yaw (turn) into the wind, maximising power generation. Wind speed monitoring ensures the wind turbine is within the power operating range, control the brakes and adjust the pitch of the blades for optimum power production.

Agricultural environments can quickly become dirty and dusty, and when used in vehicle-mounted operations, wind sensors are also exposed to significant shocks and vibrations. Discover how FT protects our sensors against these challenges and more through extreme testing. ![Precision Farming with FT Anemometers](https://fttechnologies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FT%20Tech%20-%20Blend/Pages/Application/Frame%205708963.png?width=1350&height=1398&name=Frame%205708963.png) - ###### Manufacturing In manufacturing environments, the required speed range can be very low and demands acute precision. This necessitates a highly responsive and accurate airflow measuring device. ![9661-grain storage anemometer](https://fttechnologies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/FT%20Tech%20-%20Blend/Pages/Application/9661-grain%20storage%20anemometer.jpg?width=1000&height=667&name=9661-grain%20storage%20anemometer.jpg) ![](https://fttechnologies.com/hubfs/FT%20Tech%20-%20Blend/Background%20elements/FT%20Waves-Dark-BG-Transparent.svg) ## Technology Unique to FT wind sensors, Acu-Res® software automatically compensates for changes in air temperature, pressure, and humidity to ensure data continuity.
