The World's most ADVANCED salt spreader 4K

What happens here

The controller inside the truck is demonstrated. It features an intuitive interface with separate sections for operators (left side buttons) and administrators (right side buttons). The operator's screen displays real-time data such as spread width (e.g., 17 feet), material power (e.g., 42%), and allows for adjustments in automatic mode. The controller supports asymetry adjustments to direct the spread pattern (left, right, or center). It also includes fully diagnostic capabilities, displaying error messages (yellow for non-critical, red for critical stops) and showing material levels and speed. Crucially, the controller integrates with the H-Track system, allowing operators to select nearby worksites from a geofenced list, ensuring the correct application rate is used automatically for each specific location.

Goal: Showcase the functionality and user interface of the Strike Smart Controller from inside the vehicle.

numbers right correct yes so let's go go ahead and set what we just put into the into the machine so you're setting how much material you put in so you put in how much manually you put it in okay just as you based off of what he put in so operators live on this side administrators on this side so we'll get right into the spreading screen this is what the operator sees every time he goes out everything is done from this screen in a quick tutorial Around the Horn here this controls strobe lights that's your work light this is your fully programmable blast which means that you just press this and it will run for whatever you've programmed that blast to be this would turn on or off your preet if it wasn't part of a spreading setting already this turns on our automatic vibrate which means that when the machine is on it will automatic vibrate itself for however long and for how often you want it to right now you can see that we're going to be spreading the salt 17 ft it were're 42% of power so that would be comparable to four on anybody else's dial if you you if you knew what that was now if we press this button we go into automatic mode and so down here you can dial up whatever amount of material you want in automatic mode so when the machine starts we start you'll get 7 lb for 1000 ft in this case at 17 ft right here this is what we call asymmetry adjustment this this is an option but as we move this ball on the slide here with the with the control knob you see the spreading picture that little arrow there is the center line of your spinner so you can direct where that salt is going all right so you can control center Left Right correct from there absolutely this fully diagnostic controller tells you what's wrong with it yellow message is a is an error message says hey you got some stuff going on it's not going to keep you from working in this case says low liquid no connection to HRA at the moment um If This Were red it would be a full stop and it was going to tell you what's wrong with it down here is going to be your material this is your speed this would be your time we have to set that and then if you have your lots and things Geo fenced we can get into H track right up here and we can see worksite customer contract and then right up here this this line would show you what your next closest work site is to your physical location so from this point forward if you geofence your SES you know before you go how much material is supposed to be on those sites…
