A real-time situational awareness platform developed for US military operations is now applied to the ski industry to deliver immediate and actionable intelligence to improve safety, security and improve overall efficiency.

The Ronin Platform developed by Coolfire Solutions has helped the military have a better understanding of their teams, terrain, assets, opportunities and threats. The platform was built to integrate data from any source and transform it into actionable intelligence.

Ski Resort Operators are dealing with similar challenges that lend themselves to Ronin’s strengths and dynamic capabilities, the company claims on its website.

Ronin is a software platform that sits on top of a company’s existing information-gathering, data-driven systems, and enables the organization to get the right data, in the right hands, right now. It can monitor on-mountain activity including skier traffic and location, weather conditions, employee tasks, equipment sensors, lift-line traffic flow, grooming reports and any other pertinent information.

The platform integrates with existing IT systems, extracts only the required data and immediately delivers it to users in the context of their location, role and responsibility.  This immediate access to contextual data empowers employees and operators to make smart, fast decisions that can improve operations and save lives.

According to the company, the ski Industry is a perfect fit for the platform, which provides a common operational picture of the activity taking place on the mountain, in real-time, and enhances the ability of the safety and operations teams to make the right decisions.
