NIVUS RAIN protects people and assets. It provides reliable forecasts of heavy rain - street precise. And up to 60 minutes earlier than with other warning systems.

The high-resolution and street-level accurate forecast can provide a time lead of up to 60 minutes to get ahead of the situation. This is essential for rescue and emergency services to correctly prioritize impending operations, and for residents and local industry to initiate individual protective measures earlier.

Facts about NIVUS RAIN.

Who was NIVUS RAIN developed for?

NIVUS RAIN was developed for those who need high quality heavy rain early warning for their individual protection goals. It is made for local authorities, emergency services (alternativ: first responder), industry and citizens. The needs are very individual. Local authorities need accurate data for the effective protection against the consequences of heavy rain events, while emergency services need require a better factual basis and reliable decision making aids for managing their operations. Industrail companies must be able to gurantee process reliability even unter environmental influences, whereas citizens want to protect their property in the best way.
How does NIVUS RAIN work?

NIVUS RAIN is a network of rain sensors and cloud based software that analyses measurement data in real time. The cloud generates highly accurate forecasts for specific areas and points within the monitoring area. Based on these forecasts, individual warnings are sent to the target groups. Depending on the expansion level, street precise warnings can be generated up to 60 minutes before an event occurs. NIVUS RAIN also offers additional modules for water level monitoring and sewer networks to monitor the effect of heavy rain in these areas.
How do NIVUS RAIN users receive information and alerts?

Users are informed about impendig events as soon as possible. Alerts and information are provided to Emergency services, one of the most important target group, by existing alarm and informations systems. Industrial companies can receive notifications in this way as well. Municipal representatives and citizens will be notified of heavy rain alerts via a responsive and mobile optimised website for their city. In the future they will also receive POI related information via SMS, phone call and email.
What is the difference between NIVUS RAIN and other systems?

Heavy rainfall is a complex phenomenon that depends on many factors and is constantly changing. In response to this complexity, NIVUS RAIN uses artificial intelligence technologies, including patented AI technology, to detect heavy rain cells and predict their path. This enables us to take high-resolution measurements and predict the intensity of heavy rain up to 60 minutes in advance. NIVUS RAIN is the first genuine heavy rain early warning system. It differs from systems that only measure precipitation at one or individual points.
Who is operating NIVUS RAIN?

NIVUS RAIN is a digital information service operated by NIVUS GmbH for local authorities. The operation includes the measuring network of heavy rain sensors for generating the heavy rain early warning, the water level and sewer sensors for monitoring, as well as special cloud systems that process the data in real time, generate information and make it available to users. The advantage is that measurement data can be used and offered across local authorities, maximising the benefits for everyone involved. At the same time, this allows a reduction in costs for all customers, as they do not have to set up the experts themselves.
Where can NIVUS RAIN be used?

NIVUS RAIN can be used anywhere in the world where there is a risk of heavy rainfall, because we are not fundamentally dependent on government weather radar data. The availability of communication networks and suitable installation points for the sensors are essential requirements. All of this is checked in our preliminary investigation in the area of an interested municipality.
When will NIVUS RAIN be ready for use?

NIVUS RAIN is currently in the final test phase, during which some standard processes are still being developed and optimised for efficient implementation. However, NIVUS RAIN is already ready for use by customers and will be made available to the general public in the course of 2024.

What does NIVUS RAIN cost?

The cost of NIVUS RAIN depends on the size of the monitored area: the larger the area, the lower the annual operating costs per square kilometre. We would be happy to provide you with a customised quote.
Who developed NIVUS RAIN?

The technology for heavy rain detection and forecasting was developed and patented by our technology partner Okeanos Smart Data Solutions GmbH as part of a BMVi project. NIVUS RAIN uses this technology exclusively and is the result of a collaboration between NIVUS GmbH and Okeanos Smart Data Solutions GmbH.

NIVUS RAIN alerts you anytime, anywhere. Reliable. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

NIVUS RAIN never takes a break. Never. It provides you with comprehensive information 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. NIVUS RAIN not only generates a high level of data, but also a strong sense of security for all residents in the monitored area, because everyone has access to NIVUS RAIN. Citizens can receive personalised information on their risk situation and react appropriately. And this up to 60 minutes in advance. For affected municipalities, this is an essential gain in time when planning the emergency services, but also an opportunity to offer people in endangered areas a real time advantage or a significant improvement in alarms for the first time.

NIVUS RAIN user interface

We have paid great attention to the design of the user interface. After all, NIVUS RAIN should not only function perfectly, but also be perfect and intuitive to use. This means that it can be used immediately by emergency services and all residents! This was very important to us during development. The operation is based on tried and tested user experiences. We have also created a separate log-in area for all professional users (fire brigade, THW, police, etc.), to provide even more detailed information on the hazard situation.

The media have focused their interest on us as they have recognized a significant issue that is crucial for many heavy-rain-prone areas. The publications from Olpe not only illustrate and describe in a catchy way how NIVUS RAIN works, but also offer insights into the local installation. In addition, you can hear and see how the Olpe fire department and local authorities evaluate the NIVUS RAIN system. Please note that during the development phase, the internal project title of NIVUS RAIN was "Floodlead", as can also be heard in the WDR report.
