Commitment to Safety & Sustainability

At Blue Heeler Innovations, we believe that autonomous technology should protect both people and the planet. The Smart-Spreader is engineered with a dual-focus mission: ensuring slip-free surfaces for students and staff while minimizing the chemical footprint left on our local ecosystems. 

Environmental Stewardship: Precision Salting

Traditional salting methods often lead to over-application, which causes salt runoff to damage local vegetation and contaminate groundwater.

• Targeted Disbursement: Our GPS-guided system ensures salt is only applied to necessary walkways, avoiding garden beds and permeable surfaces.

• Reduced Runoff: By utilizing a variable-pitch auger for consistent flow, we reduce total salt usage by up to 30% compared to manual broadcasting.

• Data-Driven Application: The system tracks exactly where salt has been laid, preventing "double-salting" in high-traffic areas.

Institutional Safety & Reliability

Designed specifically for the requirements of educational facilities, the Smart-Spread prioritizes the safety of everyone on campus.

• Defined Safety Zones: Utilizing geofencing technology, the robot operates strictly within pre-programmed boundaries, ensuring it remains clear of restricted areas.

• Consistent Coverage: Automation eliminates human error, providing a uniform application of ice-melt to prevent "black ice" patches in critical foot-traffic zones.

• Reliable Hardware: Built with a CNC-machined aluminum chassis and rugged drive-train, the unit is designed to operate safely in the harsh winter conditions of Ontario.

Sustainable Innovation from Cambridge

As a local Cambridge venture, we are dedicated to protecting the Grand River watershed. By innovating smarter ways to manage ice, we are helping our community move toward a more sustainable and safer winter future.
