Julian Gardner, Senior Research Engineer; Zamboni
Zamboni has pioneered numerous innovations in vehicles that scrape, clean and apply water to ice-skating surfaces. Most recently we have introduced Zamboni Connect™, the first IoT-connected ice resurfacing application based on real-time diagnostics of operator and resurfacing performance. The results are better asset and resource management, and better decision-making to help ensure the highest levels of machine operation and uptime – and, of course, ice quality.
