Maximizing efficiency: Harnessing connected fleets and remote diagnostics for smarter operations
In today’s tech-driven world, we are constantly seeking to streamline operations, reduce costs and improve productivity. Leveraging connected fleet technology with remote diagnostics is a very effective strategy. It not only maximises efficiency, but also enables real-time monitoring, data-driven decision making and predictive maintenance. How can the integration of the two technologies change fleet management and reduce downtime? Read on to find out.
Dutch Ministry of Defence adds 81 Aebi Schmidt winter equipment to their fleet
Dutch Ministry of Defence added 81 machines to their winter fleet to meet its statutory requirements to keep the Leeuwarden, Volkel, Eindhoven, Gilze-Rijen, Woensdrecht and De Kooy Air Force fields in the Netherlands accessible and safe during winter.
From the family farm to a full-fledged manufacturer
When Eskil Swenson started Swenson Products in 1937, then known as Cherry Valley Pulverizer Company, he had no idea it would grow to the manufacturing company it is today! Back then, he worked on everything himself on his family farm, including their first twin roller chain drive spreader, which was used primarily in agriculture.
Saving resources and money by also using spreaders in summer: the Tyrolean state government is leading the way
The state of Tyrol is responsible for a total of 2,236 km of road network, with the state roads lying at 470 to over 2,000 metres above sea level. The state authorities have been utilising salt and brine for their winter services since 2017. To do this, they use a Schmidt Stratos Combi Soliq Flex, a combined machine that spreads or sprays with abrasive agents, dry salt or wet salt containing the required proportion of brine. They have recently started using ‘the spreader’ in summer as well.

Endurance test passed – the Combi Soliq Flex impressed lower Austria’s state government
The Lower Austrian state government has been using reliable Schmidt winter maintenance equipment for decades. The oldest product still in use is a 1958 lifting and pressing device for snow ploughs. They also use numerous ploughs, snow cutter blowers and salt spreaders for winter maintenance. Recently, three new Stratos 50 Combi Flex spreaders were added to the fleet to help Andreas Böhmer, Deputy Head of Machines and Vehicles, and his team to combat the icy winter roads.

Winter Road Maintenance at 2200 Meters above Sea level – New Aebi VT450 Vario for Corbeyrier
It has one of the most extensive work areas – at least as this concerned the height difference. The new Aebi VT450 Vario for the Commune de Corbeyrier in Switzerland will ensure snowy and ice-free roads. The streets of the municipality extends from 500 up to 2205 meters above sea level. The entrance roads to and from Corbeyrier, which is located on 1000 meters of altitude, are correspondingly challenging and steep. So the municipality was looking for a powerful and reliable partner, which can also be used beyond the winter service. So the decision was taken: an Aebi VT450 Vario should become a new “team member” in Corbeyrier. Mid of July, the transporter was handed over to the community together with Aebi dealer Jean-Marc Ries from Garage Ries Sàrl.

HVO operated fleets support the reduction of carbon footprints
Last year, Dublin Airport transitioned away from diesel and began using HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) to reduce its carbon footprint and help meet its sustainability targets. Read more on how Schmidt’s summer and winter maintenance fleet can contribute to such plans.
Are all season equipment and vehicles the new gold standard?
The Tyrolean state government uses spreaders in both summer and winter. Meanwhile, Estonian service provider EKT Teed OÜ relies on a carrier vehicle with a interchangeable system that can be used all year round. Will soon all of our machines be multipurpose and usable all year round? We spoke to Henning Schröder, Head Group Technology, and Gerhard Neudorfer, Head Sales Europe.
Maximum efficiency thanks to one carrier vehicle for summer & winter maintenance
Maintaining 1.000.000 m² in the city of Tartu, EKT Teed OÜ decided to add new equipment to its fleet last year. Looking back, the contractor is sure to have made the right choice in order to maintain the area 24/7, 365 days a year. And, it was not only the Street King’s features that impressed, but also the possibility of buying single source, service included.

INCHEON AIRPORT IN SOUTH KOREA IS GEARING UP FOR THE 2018 OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES The “Land of the Morning Calm” is readying itself for the Games, which will be held from 9 to 25 February 2018. Given that passenger traffic spikes during events of this magnitude in particular, it’s an absolute must for any airport of good standing to have snow-free and ice-free runways and taxiways. To ensure absolute safety and punctuality at all times, IIAC (Incheon International Airport Corporation) is adding ten Schmidt TJS 630 jet sweepers to their winter service fleet.

Meyer Dealer JTI Stays Loyal to the Hometown Favorite
Like Meyer, its dealer partner, JTI, Inc., celebrates a long history. John's Trailer Company was the precursor to the present JTI, Inc. The company was founded in 1935, initially building and selling hay wagons, trailers, hitches and axles. JTI is now in its fourth generation of family ownership, and continues to be a trusted equipment dealer, selling Meyer snowplows and salt spreaders for the past two decades.
Dual-liquid spreaders enable more economical operations
In winter road maintenance, it is often necessary to treat particularly critical areas, such as bridges or steep and sloping stretches, with specially deployed spray vehicles or with stationary de-icing agent spraying systems. This approach incurs additional costs because of the special vehicles, routes or equipment. In Vienna, however, it has been shown that there is another way. We wanted to know how and spoke to engineer Dr. Peter Nutz, Head of Planning and Winter Maintenance at Municipal Department 48.
IntelliOPS helps keeping Düsseldorf’s roads clear of snow & ice in winter
AWISTA is part of a group of companies that provides municipal and commercial waste disposal and cleaning services from a single source in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area. We have talked with Udo Meyer, Operations Manager at AWISTA, to find out how IntelliOPS supports his day-to-day operations in winter maintenance. Keeping the road network free of snow and ice in winter is a challenging task every year. Professional and continuous use of data and digital applications makes planning and monitoring as well as documentation and reporting of the corresponding operations easier and safer. But how exactly?
Rijkswaterstaat uses up to 25% less salt with the "Route Manager"
Every country and region has its own challenges when it comes to fighting icy roads. However, the, safety of road users as well as drivers of winter maintenance vehicles is the first priority everywhere in the world. In many places today, the requirement to use vehicles and spreading materials in the most resource-saving way possible immediately follows in second place. The Route Manager from Aebi Schmidt is one of several instruments that contribute to the fulfilment of this requirement - also at Rijkswaterstaat.
Galeox NT spreader: More power, increased durability and new design
Compared to the previous Galeox model, the Galeox NT spreader has additional hopper capacity as well as a practical RoRo demount system. The spreader is made using modern manufacturing technologies and is based on proven, reliable and durable components from the Stratos range. The durability as well as the price-performance-ratio can thus be significantly increased. It can be ordered with immediate effect.
Award for Finland's best roads, quality without compromise - Tapio Pahkakangas Oy
Tapio Pahkakangas is an entrepreneur and prime contractor based in western Finland, which was voted by road users as having the best maintained roads in Finland in a survey conducted by the Finnish Road Administration during the 2020–2021 winter season. This recognition is significant both for this local company and Aebi Schmidt, as Pahkakangas’ company, Tapio Pahkakangas Oy, uses Arctic road maintenance equipment. Pahkakangas has been in the road maintenance business for thirty years and likes to share his knowledge and wisdom with others, as safety is something that affects us all. We interviewed the entrepreneur and found out what solutions other contractors can use to achieve similar results in their area.
Product Demonstration Despite Pandemic? Of Course!
Do you buy a pig in a poke? Probably not. Presenting machines and equipment live so that customers can experience and test them has been part of our daily business for decades. But what if a regular demonstration is not possible due to a pandemic? The story of our colleagues in the Netherlands shows how this challenge can be solved creatively without having to upgrade to full digital capability.
U.S. Focus: When Less Is More
The fluctuating cost of salt and the long-lasting effects of its shortages combined with its corrosive damage to infrastructure and clean up costs necessitates smarter solutions. Solutions that reduce the total salt needed, increase efficiencies and cause less environmental damage while keeping the roads safe. Learn more on Aebi Schmidt North America’s approach to educate the market on the benefits of smart spreaders.
