EMAIL: R.M. Young Company acquires SNOdar, expanding


meteorological instrumentation portfolio R.M. Young Company has announced the acquisition of SensorLogic, the creator of SNOdar, an advanced snow depth sensor. This strategic acquisition enhances R.M. Young Company’s product offerings, providing innovative solutions for snow and ice removal, solar panel maintenance, ski area management, and snow science applications.


The SNOdar is renowned for its accurate and robust monitoring of snow depth and new snowfall, even during winter storm events. It is one of the only snow depth sensors


that utilises LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to provide accurate snow depth measurements. This high-precision method allows the SNOdar to create detailed, real-time snow depth data, ensuring reliable and effi cient snow monitoring for a variety of applications. The SNOdar is the only snow depth sensor that calculates an estimated snow water equivalent (SWE) value.


The SNOdar sensor can be set up to operate as a distance sensor, storm-board snowfall sensor, or a seasonal snow depth sensor. A powerful mobile app allows the user to quickly confi gure and deploy the unit as well as monitor real-time data when within Bluetooth range.


The SNOdar features real-time data transmission via serial RS-232 or SDI-12 interfaces, compatibility with various telemetry systems, and an internal data logger capable of storing an entire season’s data. Its compact, lightweight design ensures durability in harsh winter conditions, operating effi ciently at temperatures as low as -40°C. With low power consumption averaging less than 0.5 watts, the SNOdar is ideal for remote deployments using minimal power sources. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Bozeman, Montana, SensorLogic specialises in developing radar-based remote sensing solutions that transform physical activity into actionable data. With almost two decades of expertise, the company offers sensors tailored for resource management and infrastructure utilisation, serving industries such as industrial, environmental, medical, and consumer sectors. SensorLogic’s commitment to innovation and quality has attracted a diverse clientele, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to emerging startups.


“We are thrilled to partner with R.M. Young Company,” said Doug Roberts, Founder of SensorLogic. “This collaboration presents a fantastic opportunity to integrate our snow depth and snow water equivalent technology with the expertise of such a respected company. I’m excited to unite our teams and resources to deliver innovative monitoring solutions that address the challenges of a changing climate.”


Eric Mannix, President and CFO of R.M. Young Company, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “Integrating SNOdar into our product line aligns with our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation in meteorological instrumentation. This addition allows us to offer our customers cutting-edge solutions for accurate snow measurement, meeting the evolving needs of various industries.”


The incorporation of SNOdar into R.M. Young Company’s suite of products underscores the company’s dedication to providing high-quality, reliable instruments for environmental monitoring. Clients will benefi t from the enhanced capabilities this acquisition brings.

FREDsense APPOINTS PROVEN WATER INDUSTRY EXECUTIVE AS NEW PRESIDENT RESPONSIBLE FOR GROWTH & SCALE


The fastest provider of PFAS sample analysis in the lab and fi eld, FREDsense Technologies, has announced the appointment of Eric Stoermer as their new President. This comes at an important infl ection point for the Company as it recently launched their industry-fi rst PFAS portable test kit, FREDPFAS™, which is already transforming the slow turnaround times, high costs, and complexity of traditional PFAS-contaminated sample analysis. Stoermer, formerly the President of Digested Organics (DO) and Environmental Operating Solutions (EOSi), led both investor-backed water sector companies to rapid commercial scaling, profi tability, and successful exits. Emily Hicks, FREDsense’s Co-founder and current President, will transition into the role of Chief Operating Offi cer (COO).


“We’re thrilled to have Eric join our team at such a critical point and in such a challenging industry as PFAS mitigation,” expressed FREDsense CEO and Co-Founder, David Lloyd. “To get to the next level spearheaded by our new, fi rst-of-its-kind PFAS fi eld test kit and supported by our 5-day turnaround PFAS lab testing services, we knew we needed proven thought leaders like him. Eric brings a wealth of experience in scaling businesses within the water industry and his proven track record of business growth aligns perfectly with our strategic vision. Eric’s leadership will be instrumental as we expand our rapid PFAS analysis offerings and introduce new technologies that continue to solve our customers’ needs.”


Added Stoermer: “I have been a FREDsense investor and consultant since January 2024 and joining them at this pivotal time is an incredible opportunity. With the recent launch of their portable test kit and the Company’s overall commitment to innovation, reliability, and speed when it comes to water quality analysis, I am excited to contribute to their expansion. I look forward to working closely with David, Emily, and the rest of FREDsense’s experienced team to help PFAS-related technology developers and environmental consultants expand their monitoring and treatment programs and accelerate PFAS mitigation efforts everywhere.”


Since launching the industry’s fastest PFAS lab analysis services in spring 2024, the Company has seen rapid growth across multiple applications and had adoption by some of the biggest names in the PFAS industry. For example, Ovivo, Aclarity, Axine Water Technologies, CoreWater Technologies, NBOT Labs, and NULIFE Greentech, have all turned to FREDsense for faster PFAS sample testing and results to speed their technology development. Additionally, FREDsense launched the industry’s fi rst fi eld analyser for PFAS in January of this year after demonstrating at an international airport the ability to monitor aqueous fi lm forming foam (AFFF) transition projects in real time without the need for slow, off- site analysis. The Company has also further developed applications allowing for in-fi eld screening in site investigation and remedial programs and is working with numerous confi dential customers in both lab and fi eld categories.


“We’ve proven market traction for both of our rapid PFAS testing offerings in the past year and have our sights set on continued growth within the environmental and water treatment space. I look forward to supporting Eric by strengthening our operations and ensuring that our solutions continue to meet the highest standards for our clients,” explained FREDsense now COO, Emily Hicks.


To support FREDsense’s continued growth, the Company is currently soliciting investors for participation in its Series A fi nancing round. If you’d like further details, please reach out through the FREDsense website.
