OPTIM-ICE Operator-Assist System Brings Precision and Automation to Aircraft Deicing

Vestergaard’s OPTIM-ICE operator-assist system uses LIDAR technology to map aircraft wings and stabilizers in a single scan, then guides the deicing nozzle through pre-programmed spray patterns for consistent, optimized coverage. Operators maintain control over the process while benefiting from enhanced precision, uniformity, and confidence during deicing operations.

The system continuously monitors aircraft proximity, adjusting speed or stopping automatically to maintain a safe operating distance. Designed for the latest Elephant BETA deicers, OPTIM-ICE supports smarter, safer, and more efficient winter operations, helping ground crews reduce risk, improve accuracy, and streamline aircraft deicing performance.
