Awards for envitron systems
As early as 2013 Reiner Reisch was awarded the iENA gold medal for the best product innovation for his Smart Roof Monitoring System snow scale. His new Smart Roof Monitoring System for monitoring large roof areas is once again an outstanding development and was nominated by Bayern Innovativ for the INNOVATION LEBEN AWARD. It was recently awarded the German Business Award 2021 as Best Snow Load Measurement System - Europe.

"Weather extremes are on the rise – in 2021, storm "Bernd" dropped over 240 litres of rain per square metre on Hagen in just 22 hours. Such volumes of water quickly push flat roofs to their limits. The article in B&I Magazin shows how a self-powered, radio-based monitoring system continuously captures roof loads, raises early alerts and thus prevents damage, even collapse."

"During extreme weather events such as heavy rain or snow loads, flat roofs can quickly reach the limits of their load-bearing capacity. The article in Deutsches Ingenieurblatt shows how digital, radio-based monitoring detects loads early and enables companies to act in good time."

„The limited load-bearing capacity of flat roofs, combined with increasing weather extremes, poses growing challenges for industrial buildings. The article shows how systematic, digital radio-based monitoring captures roof loads in real time, triggers early alerts and thus minimises damage, downtime and safety risks."

"The company will no doubt see more of this recognition in the not too distant future as it continues to innovate. With the risk of roof collapses continuing to increase in the future due to the rise in extreme weather conditions, envitron will keep working on new products and therefore saving lives."
German Business Awards 2021
Extreme weather conditions continue to increase and with them the risk of excessive roof loads. Buildings with additional loads, for example from PV systems, can be particularly affected. Early warning systems can help to avoid overloading flat roofs with snow or backwater.

Due to deficiencies in the drainage system or a clogged drain, the water does not flow off properly after heavy rainfall or snowmelt on flat roofs and accumulates over a large area. In addition to their snow load measuring system, Envitron has now also developed a backwater sensor with which flat roofs can be monitored 24/7.

Due to deficiencies in the drainage or a clogged drain, the water often does not flow off properly after heavy rainfall or snowmelt on flat roofs and accumulates over a large area. Even 7 cm of standing water in the roof structure poses an acute risk to structural safety. If snow is added in winter, the roof's maximum load capacity is quickly reached.

Envitron systems developed the new Smart Roof Monitoring System snow measuring system. It captures the snow load on flat-roofs and auto-notifies customers in case of emergency via SMS or e-mail.
Der Facility Manager 7/8|2020
Extreme weather conditions are exceedingly harming flat roofs. Therefore owners and operators alike are increasingly counting on early warning systems to prevent harm from their premises. Digitalization here creates new potential for prevention and response.
industrieBAU 3|2020
Reiner Reisch, based in Germering near Munich invented a snow load measuring system for roofs. "Since at least the collapse of Bad Reichenhall's ice rink roof in the wake of heavy snowfall, his new warning system is the talk of the town", he says.

Inventor Reiner Reisch presents his new warning system for detecting overload hazard on large roofs caused by snow. The snow is collected in the probing plattform's conveyor cage, where it is weighed. According to the roof's configured maximum load, an alarm is triggered via SMS or - e-mail.
