OPERATIONAL CLIMATE INTELLIGENCE · FROM D0 TO D+10
i4cast is the climate command center of your operation
i4cast shows how weather will impact your asset, days in advance, directly in your decision protocol. Your operation trades the last-minute scramble for the anticipated decision: less loss, more safety and every decision on record.
+100 critical assets monitored across Latin America · +10,000 actionable alerts per year · +10 years of proprietary reanalysis

THE PROBLEM: THREE GAPS BETWEEN DATA AND ACTION
Weather data already exists. What's missing is the bridge between the data and the right action, at your asset and in time
There is no shortage of weather forecast data. The gap lies between the data and the right action, at the right asset and at the right time. That gap is what costs money, and it has three causes.
Public models operate at 25 km. Your mine, your kilometer of highway or railway, your port and your plant each have a microclimate of their own. The risk lives in the detail that generic scales can't see.
- Can't see the highway kilometer
- Can't see the mountain ridge
- Can't see the plant
- Sees every kilometer of highway
- Reads the ridge's microclimate
- Targets the plant, not the region
i4cast was built to close these three gaps.
ONE PLATFORM · ALL THE WEATHER THAT IMPACTS YOUR OPERATION
All the weather that impacts your operation, on a single screen
History, real time and hyperlocal forecast in the same place, with the log of every occurrence right beside them. i4cast turns wind, waves, rain, tide, currents, visibility and +12 hazards into a risk reading per asset and per hour. The decision comes before the event, not after the loss.
Operate with more margin
Risk Score per asset and hourly window from D0 to D+10. You capture the good window and bring the inevitable stoppage forward, instead of scrambling to react.
Protect the people in the field
The alert lands in the channel your team already opens every day, with time and asset, before the event reaches the road, the berth or the slope.
Defend every decision
Every alert and every action is logged with source and timestamp, ready for force majeure, contractual penalties, insurance and audits.
SOCIAL PROOF: THE TEAMS TURNING CLIMATE RISK INTO DECISIONS
Critical operations use i4cast to decide before the event
i4cast made port closure events far more tangible for our decision-making. It brought safety, operational agility, better berth performance and a customized line-up.
Evelyn Lima
Director of Operational Planning, Santos Brasil
Thanks to this climate intelligence tool, we can now anticipate port closure events with greater precision and get a much better view of the openings, optimizing our planning and delivering reliable technical information to our clients.
Dante Battaglia
Operations Manager, Puerto Mejillones
i4sea is highly flexible, with a proactive approach to developing innovative products. By integrating hyperlocal forecast models with machine-learning techniques applied to local measurement data, they deliver forecasts for offshore sites with the highest accuracy currently achievable.

HOW IT WORKS: THREE STEPS
From reading the risk to responding with autonomy, in three steps. That's i4cast!
These three steps are what drive the results our clients see in operations, safety and efficiency.
STEP 01Assessment of your real operational limits
We map your assets and the limits that stop your operation. We define when wind, waves, rain or tide become a risk for that berth, slope, turbine or kilometer of track.
STEP 02Identification of opportunity windows
The risk engine crosses the probability of occurrence with your process and returns a Risk Score per asset and hourly window: where you can operate and where it's better to bring the stoppage forward.
STEP 03Risk response with agility and autonomy
The alert lands in the team's channel, with time and asset, before the event. Every decision is logged for audit and learning.

i4cast doesn't prevent the event. It turns surprise into preparation.
APPLICATIONS BY SECTOR
Every sector has its own critical weather. i4cast reads yours
Port logistics
Anticipate port closures and optimize berthing windows per berth. More operating window, less demurrage and more extra calls.
Energy (renewables, transmission and distribution)
Cut O&M costs at wind farms, reduce outages caused by extreme events and improve T&D maintenance plans, with a risk reading per asset.
Mining
Anticipate torrential rain on the slope, lightning at the mine and port closures. Every link in the chain (conveyor, internal railway, berth) gets an action window.
Infrastructure (railway and highway concessions)
Anticipate landslides, flooding, wind on bridges and heat on rails per kilometer of concession, with preventive closure and an auditable record.
Insurance
Physical risk per asset cross-referenced with operational anticipation: calibrated underwriting, evidence for claims and technical provisioning.
Heavy construction and navigation
Safe windows for lifting, concreting and earthmoving, with readings of wind, lightning and oceanographic variables for marine operations.
CUSTOMER STORIES
See what changes when the operation sees the weather first.
27x
Vattenfall
Offshore energy
Generic forecasts (ECMWF) were inflating O&M costs in the offshore operation. With i4sea's hyperlocal reading, Vattenfall cut O&M costs by 27x.
7 → 3 days
Santos Brasil
Ports
At Brazil's largest container terminal, every day of waiting is expensive. By anticipating windows per berth, waiting time dropped from 7 to 3 days. That's 4 fewer days per vessel.
45% → 92%
Mountain highway concession operator
Infrastructure
On a mountain stretch with recurring landslides, the previous methodology anticipated less than half of the events. With i4sea's risk reading, slope failure anticipation jumped from 45% to 92% — nearly double. The higher accuracy cuts landslide response costs by up to 45% and reduces critical events with no prior warning by 85%.

You can't control the weather, but you must manage the risks
i4cast is i4sea's operational climate intelligence platform: the command center where your team sees, decides on and logs the weather that impacts every asset, from D0 to D+10. It delivers a daily Risk Score per asset and hourly window, threshold-based multichannel alerts and an auditable trail of every decision.
Public forecasts run at ~25 km and stop at “windy conditions in the region”. i4cast uses a proprietary 10 m to 3 km model, calibrated to your asset, and translates weather data into risk for your business, with 10+ years of local reanalysis that no generic app has.
They are three layers of the same platform. i4cast is the short-term operational cockpit (0–10 days): it's where the operation sees and acts. The AI Climate Agent is the specialist that answers in natural language in your channel, with recommendations calibrated to your protocols. i4climate is the long-term strategic layer, for per-asset exposure, the board and regulators. Many clients start with i4cast and evolve into the other horizons.
18 meteorological and oceanographic hazards (wind, swell, currents, water level, rain and flooding, visibility, lightning and extreme temperature, among others), configured per asset, at 10 m to 3 km resolution.
Within 15 days, we configure i4cast for 1 of your assets and show you, with real data, what the platform would see today: the Risk Score per window, the relevant hazards and the alerts your team would receive. It's the fastest way to measure the value before any decision.
Yes. i4cast connects to TOS/ERP and to the dashboards your team already uses, and fires alerts on WhatsApp, Teams, email and SMS. Weather data enters the workflow, instead of being isolated in yet another screen.
From discovery to go-live in about 3 to 5 weeks, with setup done by the i4sea team. It doesn't replace your system, doesn't install sensors, doesn't require dedicated IT and has no lock-in. A 30-day notice ends the contract.
