Request a demo
No more dangerous manual inspections and guesswork—just accurate measurements and data-driven decisions.
Prylada solution for roof deflection and snow load determination
The Prylada components enable 24/7 automated snow accumulation monitoring with
intuitive charts and SMS alarm notifications to your mobile phone.
Sensors and inclinometers
For deflection angle, density, and weight measurement. Installed on/under the roof of your building to collect precise snow load data.
Gateways
Wirelessly transfer the collected data from the sensors to a remote control center run locally or in a cloud.
Prylada Cloud
Stores, analyzes and visualizes the collected data. It also enables remote management of all connected gateways.
*(optional; an alternative to a private cloud or a local server)
Catering to your monitoring needs
We tailor our solution to your specific environment, focusing on three key parameters:
For snow monitoring, Prylada offers 4 measurement options:
Prylada provides various options for transmitting data from measurement points. Currently, we recommend wireless data transfer from monitoring points to a central gateway for maximum convenience.
However, the solution flexibility extends beyond this—our adaptable configurations allow us to customize solutions to your unique requirements. Feel free to choose the option that best aligns with your needs.
The Prylada admin panel ensures straightforward system management. With its intuitive interface, you can remotely configure operating scenarios, control connected gateways, fine-tune accuracy settings, and establish personalized notifications.
Choose your preferred method of receiving alarm alerts—whether via SMS or email messages.

How much does snow weigh on a roof? Snow load threshold
The depth of snow on the roof is not the main indicator. Are you aware that wet snow applies greater pressure compared to powdery snow? It's crucial to consider both the thickness of accumulation and the type of snow. Additionally, factors such as roof shape and age play significant roles in risk assessment. Commercial buildings exceeding 5,000 square feet per floor and over 10 years old are especially vulnerable to potential collapse.

Benefits of equipping your buildings with Prylada snow load monitoring solution
Complex approach
Prylada can be implemented as an independent or a complementary solution to empower your current monitoring system if it has some blind spots to cover.
No-code programmable scenarios
You can easily set an operating scenario for the Prylada programmable controllers via a user interface. While we support scripting, no code is required to program a water level monitoring process.
Long-term performance
We make remote snow load monitoring useful and affordable with the devices that guarantee long service life and requires little to no maintenance.
Integration with third-party monitoring systems
The Prylada API and industrial standard inputs/outputs allow sending the measurement data to other control systems, thus opening great potential for future scalability.
