Our vision is a world where precise data, innovative technology, and connected systems help protect people, infrastructure, and nature from risks—ensuring a safe, sustainable, and resilient future.
We support municipalities, ski resorts, and local communities in climate adaptation and biodiversity promotion.
We provide tailored consulting and risk analyses for natural hazard prevention and sustainable solutions. Using artificial intelligence and IoT sensors, we enhance the safety and resilience of critical infrastructure.
Monitoring of Critical Infrastructure and Water Bodies
We act as a data hub for analysis using machine learning.
Digitalization: Creation of digital twins of rock formations using state-of-the-art laser scanning technology to visualize hazard zones.
With AI-powered sensor technology and IoT solutions, we monitor water levels, landslides, and critical infrastructure in real time. All events are securely recorded in an incident database.
Our AI-powered platform analyzes sensor data in real time and sends alerts via SMS, push notification, email, or phone call.
Live warnings are ensured through our proprietary wireless network and web-based GIS.
We develop innovative, customized AI-based IoT and wireless data transmission systems for natural hazard prevention.
🗺 GIS-Risk Monitoring Platform (GeoSenseAI)
Our GIS risk webbased SaaS platform allows our clients to conduct precise hazard analyses. Various infrastructures can be integrated as digital twins and visualized using sensors.
🚀 Machine-Learning-Based Data Analysis
Using advanced AI algorithms and real-time data analysis, risks are detected automatically, and early warnings are issued.
✅ Increased Safety: Early warnings enable timely evacuations and protective measures.
✅ Infrastructure Protection: Reducing damage to buildings, roads, and bridges.
✅ Cost Efficiency: Avoiding high repair costs through preventative measures.
✅ Awareness & Trust: Strengthening public confidence in municipal administrations and safety measures.
🔴 Rockfalls & Landslides
Our radar-based IoT sensors detect the smallest movements in rock formations. Seismic sensors record vibrations to trigger early warnings.
🔵 Floods & Mudslides
Our radar-based water level and flow speed meters analyze stream inflows and rivers in real time, providing early warnings of floods or blockages.
🟢 Wildfire Detection
GMD utilizes smart temperature and humidity sensors that detect unusual heat development in forests and issue early warnings for wildfires.
🟡 Bark Beetle Monitoring
Our sensors analyze tree health and pest infestations using AI-powered data analysis and drone technology, allowing for early detection and intervention.
⚪ Avalanche Monitoring
Dynamic snow height sensors, inclination measurements, and temperature analysis help detect avalanche risks early. Our system can automatically calculate avalanche danger levels and provide digital warnings for ski resorts or roads.
How it Works
Our Process explained Step by Step.
1.
Planning and Offer
Based on our risk assessment platform GeoSenseAI we create a non-binding offer for the area to be monitored.
2.
On-Site Appointment
Creation of a digital twin of the monitoring area for precise risk assessment and optimal integration of deployed sensor technologies.
3.
Installation
Field installation is carried out based on the accessibility of the region: In easily accessible areas, we handle the installation ourselves, while in hard-to-reach locations, our partner, HTB Baugesellschaft m.b.H, is responsible.
4.
Alerting
Alerts are sent via SMS, email, or through our GeoSenseAI Platform, where you can access all relevant geodata, environmental data, as well as hazard and risk classifications in real time. Additionally, we offer an optional touchscreen for purchase, providing full system control and live camera feeds.
GMD has expanded its operations into high-alpine regions, focusing on:
🌊 Water Resource Management
Our high-precision sensors monitor springs, glacier runoff, and alpine reservoirs, enabling sustainable water management.
🚶 Visitor Flow Management & Nature Conservation
We analyze visitor movements in protected alpine areas, ski resorts, and hiking trails to ensure sustainable and environmentally friendly tourism management.
🔆 Alpine Photovoltaic Systems
GMD develops and installs self-sufficient PV systems in alpine regions to provide energy for monitoring stations, mountain shelters, and infrastructure.
⛅ High-Precision Weather Stations
Our modern, connected weather stations deliver precise data on snow depth, wind speed, temperature, and precipitation, improving natural hazard forecasting.
To exchange knowledge across borders and advance innovative technologies, we are establishing the Alpine Tech Hub.
🔹 Collaboration with companies, research institutions, and startups
🔹 Integration of student workers and interns for hands-on projects
🔹 Bridging academic research with real-world applications in the mountains
Our goal is to create a practical, interactive platform for young talents and experienced professionals to develop and explore digital, sustainable, and innovative technologies for alpine environments.
