Energy saving hardware and cloud package

NEW ZEALAND: AoFrio has combined hardware, software and cloud-based services into one energy-saving package for the food and beverage industry.

AoFrio Inside is described as a complete refrigeration solution designed to accelerate the industry’s journey towards net-zero.

It is said to offer customers the ability to sharply reduce their energy consumption and includes data-driven tools to remotely analyse and optimise fleets for additional efficiency gains.

AoFrio Inside provides customers with a dashboard view of their assets’ real-time energy usage, enabling fast and accurate fleet-wide reporting.

The data-driven insights also allow customers to identify coolers consuming energy outside their usual operating range, remotely determine the cause, and resolve the issue.

Describing AoFrio Inside as a “game changer”, AoFrio CEO Greg Balla said: ”It contributes to potential energy savings of up to 64%, significantly reduces carbon emissions, and provides real-time reporting and actionable insights on further improvements.

“AoFrio Inside can reduce and accurately measure a cooler’s energy use, leverage machine learning to understand how to improve performance and use remote management tools to implement data-driven insights on a large scale.”
