Ice rink management presents unique operational challenges that demand sophisticated solutions. From maintaining precise ice conditions to optimizing energy consumption, facility managers need reliable systems that can deliver consistent results.

The CIMCO IQ system offers a comprehensive solution for ice rink operators that addresses these challenges head-on through advanced technology and intelligent design.

 

How can this innovative system transform your ice rink operations?


 

1. Delivering Exceptional Ice Quality

 

At the heart of any successful ice rink operation is the quality and safety of the ice surface. The CIMCO IQ system employs state-of-the-art sensors and thermal imaging technology to continuously monitor and maintain optimal ice surface conditions. This precision ensures a consistently high-quality surface that meets the demands of both athletic performance and spectator expectations.

 

2. Boosting Energy Efficiency

 

Energy costs represent a significant portion of operational expenses in ice rink facilities. The CIMCO IQ system tackles this challenge through sophisticated optimization techniques like incorporating night setbacks, floating head pressure, and motor speed modulation with VFDs, leading to reduced energy consumption. By reducing energy consumption, operators can lower their operational costs while supporting sustainable facility management practices.

 

3. Advanced Control and Monitoring Capabilities

 

Modern rink management demands flexibility and accessibility. The CIMCO IQ system provides comprehensive control capabilities through its core system, enabling real-time monitoring and adjustment of rink operations to ensure smooth functionality at all times. The system extends these capabilities through the IQ Elite App, which brings remote control and monitoring to mobile devices via an internet connection. The app features a phone-optimized HMI design while maintaining complete access to the broader control system, allowing operators to manage their facility from anywhere.

 

4. Proactive Maintenance Solutions

 

Unexpected breakdowns can disrupt operations and lead to costly repairs The CIMCO IQ system takes a preventive approach to maintenance through advanced monitoring features. The standard IQ system includes alarm logging and historic trending capabilities for early issue detection.

 

The enhanced IQ+ version builds upon these features with additional sensor arrays and early warning systems, creating a comprehensive monitoring network that identifies potential issues before they impact operations. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and prevents costly emergency repairs by alerting operators to developing problems before they affect facility operations.

 

5. User-Friendly Interface

 

Understanding that not all facilities maintain large technical teams, the CIMCO IQ system features an intuitive interface design. The system's user-friendly controls and mobile app ensure that operators at all technical levels can effectively manage their facility's operations. This accessibility is particularly valuable for facilities with limited staffing or varying levels of technical expertise among their personnel.

 


 

Future-Ready Technology

 

The CIMCO IQ system is a game-changer for ice rink management. By improving ice quality, enhancing energy efficiency, providing robust operational control, enabling preventive maintenance, and offering a user-friendly interface, it addresses the key challenges faced by ice rink operators. The IQ features the most modern and updated controller technology, and an updated HMI interface, ensuring robustness and optimal functionality for years to come.

 

By integrating the CIMCO IQ system into your facility, you will gain a proven solution that optimizes operational efficiency, reduces energy costs, and delivers the exceptional ice quality that modern venues demand – a win-win for everyone.
