CAREL is the perfect partner for achieving outstanding results and sustainability 

Self-service grocery chains are by nature focused on sales; however, they can achieve significant benefits in terms of lower operating costs when using CAREL’s latest and most advanced service, guaranteeing: 

• energy savings in HVAC/R and lighting systems  

• longer shelf life of fresh food

• less alarms and prevention of major system problems and, consequently, malfunctions. 

The Site Performance Optimisation service is provided via remote by the CAREL team of experts, applying their thermodynamic expertise acquired over extensive experience in the HVAC/R and energy management sectors. 

Advanced logic and artificial intelligence support allow management and monitoring of dozens of sites simultaneously.

AI handles the analysis of the massive amount of data, while the decision-making process and actions to be taken on the systems are managed by experts.

Additional benefits of Site Performance Optimisation include:

• lower environmental impact

• compliance of buildings with the requirements of the EPBD regulation. 

For food retailers who don’t have the time, experience, or human resources to increase the efficiency of their systems yet strive to achieve positive results, the CAREL Site Performance Optimisation service is a turnkey solution, managed via remote on a large scale. 

Today, unlike other companies operating internationally in the energy-saving market, CAREL can also apply optimisations to refrigeration systems, and has been widely demonstrated.

Strengths of the proposal

• Scalability: the power of artificial intelligence applied to Site Performance Optimisation dramatically reduces analysis times, allowing the service to be delivered to a large number of systems simultaneously, ensuring significant savings in the short term. 

• Security: the service stands out for its speed, accuracy, and security thanks to the unique combination of human care and experience, and the power of AI, the latter handling the massive amount of data and flagging any anomalies promptly and even pre-emptively.

• Focus on energy savings: optimisation actions are strictly aimed at reducing energy waste, while at the same time improving and protecting cold chain performance and indoor air quality.

• Less waste and maintenance: optimising system operations and workloads reduces component stress and therefore alarms; proper system tuning prevents inefficiencies, meaning less food waste due to malfunctions.

• Increased sustainability: Site Performance Optimisation improves sustainability by making buildings more efficient, preventing food waste and increasing system life expectancy.

• Long-term benefits: Site Performance Optimisation is a process that ensures long-lasting results through periodic reviews and corrections, with the aim of preventing performance losses throughout the duration of the contract, whether due to use, environmental conditions, or changes in the field.

Requirements

The Site Performance Optimisation service exponentially increases the benefits that retail chains achieve from using CAREL solutions for the control and supervision of field assets; such solutions, together with connectivity, are the basic pre-requisite to be able to use the service.

Service provision

The service is provided according to an established timeline, allowing customers to verify the benefits from the very first month. 

Return on investment (ROI)

Return on investment (ROI) is immediate and significant, as demonstrated in the success story.
CAREL, aware of the importance of this issue and the need to be able to evaluate the service, can provide it for a limited period on a small number of stores, so that partners can calculate their own ROI.
