Wind alert for stage rigging
A WhatsApp alert to the rigging crew when gusts are coming.
What it does
Every hour during build days: the wind forecast at the site for the next hours, and a WhatsApp alert to the rigging crew when gusts are expected, with what to do by xMap AI.
In one sentence: Every hour at :00, in Wellington, get the 1-day weather forecast, sort them by wind_kmh and keep the top 3, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Wind is the main danger for stages and banners. An hourly check means lifts stop before the gusts, not after.
Who it is for
Events, venues & exhibitions. Venues, event organisers, exhibition companies and wedding planners filling dates, booking suppliers and keeping guests safe. Every use case for events & venues

The time it saves
Every hour at :00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 15 minutes each time; it runs about 720 times a month, so it saves about 40 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
