Maintenance.
For Safe and Durable Artificial Turf Fields.
Maintaining artificial turf sports fields is vital for player safety, turf longevity, and optimal performance. Routine maintenance ensures a consistent and safe playing surface by keeping the infill evenly distributed, which extends the turf’s lifespan and enhances the overall performance of the field. Based on the agreed maintenance schedule from your artificial turf manufacturer, or when triggered by increased usage, automatic maintenance alerts through Intelligent Play will notify you when machine maintenance is required and the extent of the work needed. After completing the maintenance, an updated heatmap helps track the effectiveness of the maintenance activity. Additionally, a calendar and manual tasks are available to assist your team in planning and executing a comprehensive maintenance program.

To have something track the field, track all the usage and everything that crosses the surface from people to carts to equipment, the ability to take that and turn it into data and create maps of where we’re getting heavy traffic use is music to my ears.”

Forest Recreation Ground, Nottingham, United Kingdom
The Forest Sports Zone in Nottingham was opened in 2015 following investment from the Football Foundation and the Premier League and is a busy, state-ofthe- art facility managed by the Nottingham Forest Community Trust. After almost a year, the sensors on the 3G field have monitored more than 120,000 playing hours and more than 5,000 equivalent user hours.
“As we are such a busy facility, we often only have small windows of time to compete pitch maintenance so using the heatmap to know exactly where to spend time more effectively is crucial. Being able to carry out maintenance in this way will also ultimately enhance the lifespan of the surface.”
