Autopilot 3D
Technology & innovation
Shake ice resurfacing up with Mammoth – our cutting-edge self-driving machine that crafts the ice just right.
The Ice Master Innovation
With Autopilot 3D, WM technics is redefining ice maintenance: A system that takes care of the ice fully autonomously and keeps ice thickness automatically within the ideal range – a dream come true for ice professionals. This groundbreaking system not only finely tunes the ice surface but also plays a significant role in energy efficiency. Indeed, the thickness of the ice impacts energy consumption: every additional half inch of ice leads to up to 15% more cooling needs.
Autopilot 3D seamlessly blends technology with sustainability, merging top-tier performance with an eco-friendly approach. This revolutionary feature is exclusively found in the Mammoth machine.
Autonomous
A machine for ice resurfacing that autonomously performs the entire sequence of tasks has the considerable benefit of allowing the ice master to observe the process from a safe distance. This way, the operator can focus on other, more critical tasks. However, the real advantages lie in the ice surface’s consistent quality and the machine’s optimal use. Both factors directly impact costs.
By utilizing the latest technologies, such as an autopilot with an ice-thickness regulation system (laser leveling system), ease of use has significantly improved up to fully autonomous operation. Robots have already successfully applied this principle in floor cleaning or lawn maintenance.
The Ice Master Innovation
Optimal ice thickness
Thanks to the precise processing of the ice surface on accurately calculated tracks, the ice thickness can be optimally adjusted in all areas. The ice layer acts as an insulator because ice has low thermal conductivity. The thinner the ice layer, the more energy can be saved, thus reducing both costs and environmental pollution.
Energy savings for every half inch less of ice.
