SNOWsat offers you various modules and packages. We currently have three different vehicle systems: V1 Fleet Management Basic, V2 Fleet Management Premium and V3 Fleet and Snow Depth Management. See below for a more detailed explanation of the various functions and applications.
SNOWsat V1 Fleet Management Basic
This vehicle system delivers simple and clear fleet management. Vehicle data is recorded and then sent to a central server for evaluation. The corresponding hardware is supplied with the vehicle system. You will also need the SNOWSat Fleet software (optional SNOWsat CAN).
SNOWsat V2 Fleet Management Premium
Fleet Management Premium gives the driver selected information in real time in addition to the functions that come with V1. This includes maps of the ski resort, anchor points, winch ropes, slope barriers, as well as already groomed areas. The information is displayed on a touch screen that is connected to an on-board computer. This means the real-time data can also be accessed easily during travel. This vehicle system also works with the SNOWsat Fleet software and can be supplemented with the optional SNOWsat CAN program.
SNOWsat V3 Fleet and Snow Depth Management
The functionality of SNOWsat Fleet and Snow Depth Management is comparable to Fleet Management Premium. This system also includes highly accurate snow depth measurement. This data is displayed for the driver in real time and transmitted to the server. It not only allows for an overview of snow depths across the whole ski resort, but also provides the basis for optimising snow gun usage and snow-making measures.
With Fleet Management Basis
Vehicle-specific hardware, which collects relevant vehicle data (CAN and other signals) for further analysis. This data is transmitted wirelessly to the SNOWsat server.

In addition to the V1 system, this includes a touchscreen that displays relevant information to the driver in real time, e.g. maps, anchor points, winch cables, slope boundaries, already groomed areas, etc.

Because it is simple to use, drivers only require a short induction before using SNOWsat for real. Thanks to logical symbols, plus functions and control elements perfectly tailored to need, drivers immediately feel confident with the system.
Advantages for the driver:
Know rather than assume: the position of other vehicles remains visible for drivers even in poor weather conditions, as well as the position of their winch cables, tracks and snow depth thanks to the SNOWsat system. This has enormous advantages for joint grooming of slopes, but above all means an invaluable boost to driver safety in bad weather.

Also includes the necessary equipment for highly accurate snow depth measurement (up to +/- 3 cm). This data is displayed on the touchscreen in real time, but is also transmitted to the SNOWsat server.

SNOWsat offers enormous advantages for park building thanks to the well-thought-out 3-point blade measurement with the unique 12 potential movements of the blade.
Most grooming work is effected at "standard speed": 9 - 12 km/h corresponding to 2 - 3 m/s. Up to now, snow depth has been measured with high accuracy under the driver's cab. The short distance between the cockpit and the blade is not relevant for this work. For precise tasks at slow speed, however, 3-point blade measurement is very helpful. Because the blade, which significantly influences snow depth in the grooming process, is located around 1.5 metres in front of the vehicle. With snow depth measurement on the blade, you are measuring right where the action is.
The customer is a partner
Weisse Arena Bergbahnen AG from Laax has played a crucial role in all these developments for 3-point blade measurement. Kässbohrer has an expert partner on its side with this renowned Swiss ski resort, enabling them to break new ground together. A practical solution was developed in collaboration with the drivers from Laax – to the benefit of all: “With the customer for the customer
Drivers can switch the snow depth display between the actual available snow and the target snow depth.
When target snow depth is displayed, they can see the exact difference between the required snow depth and the actual situation in their current position.
This allows drivers to identify very easily those places where a lot more additional snow is required, and where and how much snow they need to remove to achieve the desired snow profile in the end. This function is extremely helpful when grooming World Cup slopes, or constructing fun parks, border cross courses and building parks for kids and beginners.
2D models of the main elements of the park can be displayed in the SNOWsat vehicle system, such as start and end points for kickers, which really helps drivers to configure them.
The display can also show limits and orientation lines for the construction and maintenance of halfpipes.
Thus, slopes or a park that have been made before can be reproduced and can be recreated in the same form next season, for example.
