Operation report with spreading data
With modern winter service spreaders in particular, it is not easy to determine the routes that have actually been spread using sensors. This is why depot managers need the RS232 connection to the control panel of the spreader so that the spreading data can be transmitted.
- The parameters actually set, such as spreading width, spreading quantity and material spread (salt and brine), are transmitted online and documented in the operating times report.
- By linking the recorded spreading data with the GPS time, the spreading data is more accurate than when using the set system time of the spreaders.
- The spread rates recorded by GPS are automatically totaled in spread reports and can be sent by e-mail or commented on or printed out using the smartphone app.
Especially when it comes to liability issues, we have to prove that we have carried out our work to the best of our knowledge and belief. Hospitals are obliged to report accidents to the authorities. This naturally raises the question of whether the winter road clearance at the scene of the accident was carried out properly beforehand. With the help of GPS data, we can precisely track the routes of every vehicle on any given day.
Compatible spreader manufacturers
The GPS Fleet software can record and transfer spreading data documentation and spreading data logs from various spreader manufacturers. If you as a manufacturer are not yet on this list, please contact us and we will implement your spreaders in our GPS Fleet software. We would like to point out that in individual cases the spreading data connection may not be technically possible despite being listed.

Advantages of DIgital route planning in winter service
Feedback from experienced winter service managers was taken into account when planning the winter service routes.
Site managers can draw routes and important areas on the map and add images, work instructions, detailed photos and map sections. This creates a digital work preparation that describes your winter service tours (but also for summer service or manual waste collection tours). The tour preparation can be easily planned and modified online and then printed out or sent to the employee in paper form.
The winter service driver receives a clear route plan in the usual paper form so that he can take his time to look at the route and the areas to be cleared. We think that the drivers of a winter service vehicle are already sufficiently challenged when they are on the road and are highly concentrated on carrying out the winter service, sometimes with centimeter precision. Any additional distraction (navigation device, smartphone app, …) while driving is useless for most drivers on the road, because they know their route and should really concentrate on what is happening on the road. The conventional tour plan on paper is intended for breaks and preparation.
If you still need a GPS navigation system, you can also follow the lane with a GPS navigation app on your smartphone.
