01
Measure the Ice
Ceiling-mounted sensing units monitor the ice surface, capturing temperature, resurfacing events and activity on the pad.
Smarter IceStarts Here.
RinkStat is a refrigeration control system that uses real-time ice conditions to optimize cooling. The system reduces energy use while maintaining great ice.
Better Ice Quality
Automatically match cooling to real-time conditions
Lower Operating Costs
Reduce unnecessary energy use
Longer Equipment Life
Operate more efficiently with less wear
Retrofit installation designed for existing ice rink systems with no ice downtime required.
How It Works
Advanced Sensing - Smarter Control - Clearer Insight.
RinkStat turns real-time rink conditions into refrigeration decisions that better match the actual cooling needs of the pad.
02
Determine Cooling Need
RinkStat uses our sensor data, the rink's schedule and activity limits to determine the cooling the rink actually needs in advanced.
03
Adjust Refrigeration
Our control layer acts by adjusting refrigeration output directly to match real demand and elimate unnecessary overcooling.
04
Verify Performance
Operators can review ice conditions, plant response, and system performance from one platform.
Integration
Built to Retrofit Existing Rinks.
Designed to integrate with modern BAS systems as well as simpler standalone refrigeration controls.
SIMPLE RINK-SIDE INSTALLATION
Camera above the ice and out of the way
A ceiling-mounted RinkStat sensor monitors ice surface conditions and the rink environment while staying out of the way of normal operations.
Two retrofit paths
Integration adapts to the control architecture already in place.
EXISTING NETWORK
Connect to Existing Automation Systems
For facilities with modern building or refrigeration control systems, RinkStat can interface with the existing control network to read plant data and influence refrigeration operation.

STANDALONE RETROFIT
Upgrade Standalone Refrigeration Controls
For rinks using simpler standalone controllers, RinkStat can add its own control hardware to provide sensing and intelligent refrigeration control without requiring replacement of the entire refrigeration plant.

Beyond Fixed Slab Control
Most rinks hold a single slab temperature all day long. However, real cooling demand changes hour to hour. This gap between need and control results in real inefficiencies.
