Every year, thousands of farms suffer significant losses due to lightning strikes. In Africa and the French overseas departments and territories, violent storms are frequent and their direct or indirect impacts can cause fires, destroy expensive equipment, cause prolonged power outages… and even endanger your animals.
A single lightning strike on an inadequately protected building can cause tens of thousands of euros in damage, not to mention the shutdown of operations.
For a farmer, every day without production means a direct loss of income. That’s why prevention is essential !
Lightning rod with 60 μs triggering device : a communicating lightning rod designed for modern agriculture
At Soproda, we understand the realities on the ground: your buildings, silos and equipment must be protected.

Connected maintenance with no surprises

Why invest in lightning protection?
Protecting your farm against lightning is often relegated to the back burner… until the day when a strike causes irreversible damage. In livestock farming, the first priority is to protect your animals, equipment and buildings, but lightning can put everything at risk in a matter of seconds.
A modern livestock farm is above all a secure infrastructure, capable of guaranteeing the continuity of your business, the safety of your animals and your teams, the sustainability of your investments and your peace of mind throughout the year.
