Keep your people safe from severe weather on site with our lightning alerting expansion system.
DTN APAC delivers WZBob: a scalable visual and audible alarm system that provides simultaneous sitewide alerts to protect your staff and assets when lightning is detected within your thresholds.
WZBob can be customised to your Trigger Action Response Plans (TARPs) and other considerations, ensuring you are securing the safety of your sites based on your existing, functional parameters.
WZBob provides clear, sitewide lightning risk communication for your operations personnel, but also for contractors and visitors who don’t have access to an existing alerting system. The light and sound alerts give everyone on site adequate time to act quickly when thresholds are breached.
With a combination of light beacons and sounders, and a modular, scalable configuration, you can customise the setup to suit any site arrangement and maximise your coverage.
Integrating WZBob with Total Lightning Network ensures the most accurate detection and alerting system for your business. Working within your parameters, and with unparalleled detection accuracy (<200m), choose the Total Lightning Network and WZBob to optimise your response to severe weather.
WZBob integrates with your existing lightning detection service, providing increased safety coverage that is scalable.
It’s a simple to install and fully automated system that’s supported 24/7 by a real-time system health and monitoring service.
WZBob provides clear light and sound-based alerts ensuring site-wide awareness of severe weather.
We thrive on challenge, next-generation science and customised service and are dedicated to helping you stay ahead of the game.
Your weather needs are as individual as your business, and we collaborate with you to bring ease to your every day. Our teams of meteorologists and data scientists are there, every step of the way, to help you navigate your weather challenges and mitigate risk.
Take a load off, let us crunch the numbers and serve it up in an easy to implement package, so that you can concentrate on more pressing tasks.
Australia just had its warmest winter on record across large parts of the country, and the mild weather produced the lowest gas output since 2004 and cut wholesale electricity prices nearly in half. Despite the unusually warm winter, demand hit a new NEM-wide winter record of 24,220 MW — but ample rooftop and grid solar meant the […]
WA’s remote mining regions have been impacted by thunderstorm, lightning and heavy rainfall only detectable using remote sensing methods. Nearly 300,000 lightning strikes detected across WA DTN Total Lightning Network (TLN) detected over 288,000 lightning strikes above Western Australia between Wednesday and Sunday, August 26-30, 2026. A vast majority of this lightning was observed over […]
A strong El Niño and an unusually stable Antarctic polar vortex are setting up a spring signal of light winds, elevated solar output, and a real risk of high-intensity heatwaves for the NEM. This forecast could be a major flip to what the National Electricity Market (NEM) has experienced so far during Winter 2026. On 1 July 2026, the NEM […]
Three consecutive weeks of enhanced southwest monsoon (Habagat) and back-to-back typhoons have flooded Luzon and the Visayas, grounding flights, triggering distribution power outages, cutting off transport corridors, and raising landslide risk across mining-dense provinces like Benguet and the Cordillera. The disruption is far from over with PAGASA expecting the monsoon to remain in place until […]
