A manufacturer-only audit of wind measurement suppliers was published on 14 May 2026, organized by application area and physical sensing principle. [S1]
Specifying engineers evaluating wind instruments now have a single directory of named manufacturers grouped by application, with conservative sensor type labels and a reminder to confirm model-level certificates before procurement. The piece deliberately excludes system integrators, calibration labs, component suppliers, and resellers, so it functions as a shortlist of OEMs rather than a buying guide. Because entries are alphabetized within each application table and the source notes that the list does not rank products or verify availability, the practical use is as a starting point for vendor outreach and cross-checking of datasheet claims, not as a substitution for a formal RFQ process.

What happened
BARANI published an anemometer and wind sensor manufacturer directory dated 14 May 2026, authored by Jan Barani. [S1]
The page frames itself as a practical manufacturer directory for companies and brands that publish named wind-measurement products across several application areas. [S1]
It positions the audit as manufacturer-only, deliberately removing system integrators, data and software providers, calibration laboratories, component-only suppliers, research and reference organizations, and reseller or rebrand rows, unless the company also publishes a named wind-measurement instrument under its own brand. [S1]
Scope and definitions given by the source
The introduction lists covered product categories: anemometer, wind-vane, wind-sensor, wind-LIDAR, marine wind, aviation wind, hazardous-area wind, and HVAC airflow products. [S1]
Tables are organized by application area and alphabetized within each table, and some companies appear in more than one table where the same wind sensor, wind LIDAR, or all-in-one product serves multiple markets. [S1]
The source introduces a wind-sensor type column intended to separate the physical sensing principle from the application, described as intentionally conservative, and notes that supplier-dependent integrator rows are avoided in the main directory. [S1]
What it means for anemometer and wind sensor specification
For a specifying engineer, the directory functions as a vendor shortlist rather than a ranked buying guide, since the author explicitly states it does not rank products or verify procurement availability. [S1]
The stated exclusion of integrators, calibration labs, component suppliers, and resellers is a useful filter when scoping an RFQ, because it narrows the list to OEMs with their own branded instruments. [S1]
The page also includes a consolidated manufacturer index that restores the bottom manufacturer section and summarizes the audited company and brand rows by application area, which simplifies cross-referencing between tables. [S1]
How to check the primary source
Before citing any entry, open the original directory and confirm the manufacturer row, listed country, and the named wind-measurement product against the manufacturer's own datasheet. [S1]
Verify current model-level certificates and approvals directly with the manufacturer, since the directory's introduction explicitly requires this check before procurement. [S1]
Note the publication date of 14 May 2026 and author Jan Barani when reconciling against newer or older vendor catalogs, and re-check the source for any updates to the manufacturer index. [S1]
