Hardware Overview
Purpose-built tools for better rink operations.
SUB-ZERO hardware helps facilities collect better data, improve consistency, reduce manual work, and make the platform more practical on the floor. Each device supports a real operational need, from ice measurement to environmental monitoring, communication, and visibility across the building.
Hardware is the bridge between the rink floor and the data behind it.
The more practical it is for staff to take readings, display information, and capture activity, the more valuable the system becomes. These tools help turn daily work into reliable operational insight.
See how each tool supports the operation
Break the hardware down by purpose so facilities can see how each product connects back to real daily use.
Capture the condition of the ice more accurately and more consistently.
The measurement tools in the SUB-ZERO hardware lineup help rink teams move from guesswork to repeatable data. They make it easier to collect thickness and hardness readings in a way that is faster, cleaner, and easier to trust.
- Improve the speed and consistency of ice depth checks
- Digitally connect readings back to SUB-ZERO
- Support better decisions around ice quality and maintenance
- Help standardize how readings are taken across operators and facilities
Understand the conditions that affect ice performance beyond the slab.
Ice quality is shaped by more than thickness alone. Air conditions and flood water quality influence how the surface behaves, how it looks, and how consistently it performs. These tools help connect those variables to the bigger operational picture.
- Track air temperature and humidity in the building
- Support dew point awareness and rink environment review
- Measure flood water quality factors in a practical format
- Create better context for changes in ice behaviour over time
Extend SUB-ZERO into the building where staff and patrons actually see it.
Hardware can also improve visibility and access. Whether it is getting dressing room assignments onto older screens or creating QR-based access to logs and equipment history, these tools help make the system more usable throughout the facility.
- Use existing TVs for digital dressing room assignment displays
- Avoid replacing screens just to support browser-based pages
- Create fast scan-based access to logs and maintenance history
- Reduce the friction of finding information on the floor
Understand how the building is being used, not just how the ice is performing.
Rink operations include public movement, facility demand, and asset visibility. The right hardware can help facilities gather information that supports staffing, planning, reporting, and a better understanding of how the building is actually used.
- Track foot traffic through entrances or facility areas
- Support usage analysis for public and event-heavy spaces
- Improve visibility into equipment records through QR-based access
- Create a better data foundation for operational planning
Give staff a durable, practical device for day-to-day use.
Reliable software still needs reliable hardware in the hands of the people using it. A dedicated mobile device helps operators complete logs, pull up information, and move through daily workflows without relying on shared office computers or awkward workarounds.
- Support day-to-day data entry anywhere in the facility
- Improve access to modules during live operations
- Create a more practical workflow for operators on the move
- Give the system a consistent home in the building
The Core Measurement Kit creates a practical starting point.
For facilities that want to improve the collection of ice-related data without piecing everything together one item at a time, the Core Measurement Kit gives them a simple way to start with the foundational tools in one package.
Better hardware leads to better operational habits
More consistent data
The easier it is to collect readings properly, the more reliable the information becomes across operators, shifts, and facilities.
Faster workflows
Purpose-built tools reduce friction in the daily routine and make digital logging more practical on the floor.
Better visibility
Display hardware, QR access, and traffic monitoring help extend SUB-ZERO beyond a single form or single screen.
Stronger adoption
When the process is easier for staff to follow, the system is more likely to be used consistently and correctly.
Build a stronger rink workflow from the floor up.
Pair the right hardware with SUB-ZERO to make data collection easier, improve communication across the building, and strengthen the way your facility runs day to day.
