Location: La Piazza Rooms, NEC, Birmingham
Hosted by: Rennicks and Klimator
What’s Changing in Winter Maintenance?
Winter maintenance has come a long way in recent years, and the shift is accelerating with the introduction of Real-Time Data, IoT technology, and advanced software systems. These innovations are helping winter practitioners optimise their operations, leading to up to 50% savings on costs and salt consumption. But the real magic lies in how hyper-local data, collected through IoT devices, is now providing unparalleled insights into road conditions and weather changes.
These advancements don’t just make the roads safer; they’re transforming the very way we approach winter maintenance. With the right technology and systems in place, road operators can now predict and prevent untreated slippery roads with greater precision than ever before.
Why Should You Attend?
We understand the challenges winter practitioners face – especially when it comes to adapting to new technologies. The sheer volume of data and the perceived complexity of these systems can seem overwhelming. This seminar is designed to simplify the digital transition and show how these technologies can be seamlessly integrated into your winter operations.
By attending, you’ll gain insights into:
- How IoT devices and advanced forecasting algorithms work in practice
- The benefits of using big data for precise, real-time road treatment decisions
- How operational processes are evolving to deliver safer, more efficient winter maintenance
Not only will you learn how to adopt these new technologies, but you’ll also see real-world examples of how they have already led to significant savings and improved road safety across Europe.
Speakers:
- Soren, Klimator
Topic: Advanced Systems Evolution – End-to-End Solutions
