Avoid the Slip-Up: How Lynx LiDAR Helps Municipalities Manage Salt Shortages
If you’ve been to your local hardware store lately searching for a bag of salt for your driveway, you’ve likely seen the empty shelves and the telltale “out of stock” sign.
While we can’t predict exactly when those pallets of salt will be restocked for your home, we can help municipalities monitor and optimize their salt supply—ensuring roads stay safe and supplies are used effectively.
The recent salt shortage in Atlantic Canada has highlighted just how crucial proper salt management is for cities and towns. With unpredictable winter weather and rising material costs, municipalities need real-time salt usage data to ensure every grain is accounted for. That’s where Lynx LiDAR comes in.
Say Goodbye to Guesswork—And the Weight System
Traditional salt tracking methods rely on weight-based systems, manual reports, and, at times, a little bit of guesswork. These methods can be time-consuming, inefficient, and sometimes inaccurate.
Lynx LiDAR changes the game. Our proprietary software and cutting-edge LiDAR technology automate salt measurement and reporting, eliminating the hassle of manual tracking. With precise, real-time data, municipalities can:
- Monitor salt levels effortlessly
- Optimize distribution across snow routes
- Ensure efficient use and reduce waste
- Plan purchases strategically to avoid shortages
This means municipalities can proactively manage their salt supplies, ensuring roads stay clear even when winter brings its worst.
