“There is a multitude of critical decision making data that the IX-403 collects from the plow truck in order to populate customizable reports that fleet managers can use to maximize their resources and minimize costs,”  says Michael Schlag, Product Manager for PreCise MRM.

Winter maintenance professionals have been given a daunting task: Find a seemingly impossible balance between public safety, fiscal responsibility, and environmental conservation. FORCE America provides complete systems to help organizations focused on winter maintenance to measure, control, and ultimately reduce salt and other road treatment chemical usage. FORCE America’s focus is to provide tools to assure the right blend of materials are used in the minimum quantities to maximize public safety while minimizing cost and environmental impact.  “The announcement of the PreCise MRM IX-403 GPS device is the latest tool to put the power to fight winter in the hands of Public Works teams across North America,” adds Schlag.
