In the current landscape of commercial and industrial building management, it is essential to collate all the data from the installed equipment into the same information architecture. This convergence not only allows any anomalies to be monitored in real time, but above all optimises overall performance. Through advanced interaction logic coordinated by a central system, isolated individual components can become part of an intelligent ecosystem, capable of dynamically responding to energy saving needs.

The latest evolution of CAREL’s supervisors - the new boss and boss mini - represent a modern, high-performance platform that responds perfectly to these needs. By acting as the technological heart of the system, the supervisor centralises the display of unit status and access to control logic using advanced, simple and intuitive software.

Using optimisation logic based on field data and integrating strategies from cloud services, boss and boss mini become the link between local control and remote intelligence. This balance ensures maximum operational continuity and advanced diagnostic capabilities. Furthermore, integration with the CAREL RED Optimise Cloud offering provides full remote control of the building, simplifying decision-making processes and reducing the need for full-time on-site technical personnel.

Main innovations of the boss range:

• Simplified system view: the integrated Map Editor can be used to create and customise system maps and supervisor pages directly from the device, through a guided procedure without the need for development skills, ensuring maximum flexibility.

• Optimisation via Rule Engine: this intuitive interface can be used to create automatic logic without coding, by combining predefined conditions and actions to manage loads, set points and notifications, drastically reducing configuration times.

• Lower energy costs: the Energy plug-in combined energy consumption and production on a single structured view. Energy hierarchy and functional tagging allow analysis of energy usage (e.g. by refrigeration units with the new MPXPRO) and optimisation of self-consumption. Native MeterBus connectivity with autodiscovery ensures fast, error-free setup.

• Advanced diagnostics with Thermodebug: this feature provdes even more detailed analysis of refrigerated cabinet operation, from instant-by-instant control to continuous performance evaluation. The use of historical data and intelligent filters ensures more reliable and representative diagnostics of actual operation over time.

• Cybersecurity: the secure by design approach mean boss and boss mini guarantee the highest level of data protection. Regular assessments and ongoing updates ensure compliance with the latest regulations, including the Cyber Resilience Act.
