EHAC proudly welcomes Panomax GmbH as an associate member as of January 1st this year.

Panomax – Elevating Flight Safety and Efficiency for HEMS Operators

Panomax is transforming HEMS operations across Europe with its interactive day and night webcam technology. Designed to enhance flight safety, operational efficiency, and response times, Panomax provides real-time insights at bases, along flight paths, landing zones, and hospitals. By reducing aborted flights caused by sudden weather changes and unforeseen microclimates, Panomax ensures that emergency teams can operate safely and with confidence.

A word from Pedro Boudreau, Executive Director of HEMS Innovation & Technology

“Our mission at Panomax is to empower HEMS operators with cutting-edge tools that directly impact operational success and save lives. By providing real-time data and visibility, our technology helps flight crews make informed decisions, minimizing risks from adverse weather conditions. Joining EHAC is a significant step in furthering our collaboration with the emergency healthcare sector and supporting critical missions across Europe.”

For EHAC Daan Remie, EHAC Head of Flight Operation Working Group

“Weather cameras have become an invaluable asset in augmenting flight safety and broadening the availability of HEMS Services under challenging weather conditions. By providing visual feedback on the prevailing weather at various critical locations, weather cameras assist in making informed decisions about flight routes and the feasibility of missions. Integration of cameras further assists in comprehensive weather assessment, thereby edging HEMS Services closer to achieving the aspirational goal of full-time, all-weather capabilities.”
