Sensors for sustainability: Resource-efficient operation of the ice rink thanks to ice thickness measurement

To reduce energy consumption, VELTINS EisArena uses Fujitsu's IoT technology.

By monitoring the ice cover and automatically controlling the cooling elements, ideal training conditions are created for the athletes at the VELTINS Ice Arena in Winterberg – and energy consumption is reduced. However, thanks to Fujitsu's comprehensive co-design approach, this initiative has not only been successfully implemented.

Sustainability is now mandatory and no longer just a nice-to-have: customers are looking more closely at where products come from and how they are produced. Applicants and employees expect their company to be environmentally and socially responsible. Last but not least, lawmakers around the world are also tightening their oversight.

For their company, managers must ask themselves: How can I achieve my sustainability goals, and how do I get this right? Sustainability projects often have to be thought about and implemented across departments, which makes them complex. Therefore, rapid and effective implementation is not a guaranteed success.
