According to a report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2019, commercial refrigeration accounted for approximately 11% of the total electricity consumption in the retail sector in the United States.
How OneEvent saves our clients money, every day:
Energy Efficiency: Monitoring and maintaining the optimal temperature in refrigeration systems can help reduce energy consumption. When the temperature is set too low or fluctuates, the system works harder to cool the contents, leading to higher energy usage. By closely monitoring temperatures, companies can identify any inefficiencies or malfunctions in the refrigeration system and take corrective actions promptly, resulting in energy savings.
Food Quality and Waste Reduction: Refrigeration is crucial for preserving the quality and safety of perishable goods. Maintaining the appropriate temperature ensures that food items remain fresh and free from spoilage. By monitoring refrigeration temperatures, companies can prevent food waste caused by temperature fluctuations, improper storage, or equipment failures. This helps to reduce costs associated with wasted inventory and ensures customers receive high-quality products.
Equipment Maintenance and Longevity: Regular monitoring of refrigeration temperatures allows companies to detect and address any issues or deviations promptly. Early identification of problems such as compressor failure, refrigerant leaks, or faulty components can help prevent costly breakdowns and minimize repair expenses. By maintaining optimal operating conditions, companies can extend the lifespan of their refrigeration equipment, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Regulatory Compliance: In certain industries, such as food services or pharmaceuticals, maintaining specific temperature ranges for storage is a legal requirement to meet safety and health regulations. By monitoring refrigeration temperatures, companies can ensure compliance with these regulations, avoiding penalties, fines, and legal issues that may arise from inadequate temperature control.
Data-driven Optimization: Monitoring refrigeration temperatures provides valuable data that can be used for optimization. By analyzing temperature patterns, companies can identify trends, make informed decisions about system adjustments, optimize cooling cycles, and implement energy-saving measures. Data-driven insights help companies identify opportunities for improvement and implement strategies to optimize their refrigeration operations.
Overall, monitoring refrigeration temperatures allows companies to reduce energy costs, prevent food waste, maintain equipment reliability, comply with regulations, and optimize operations. These factors contribute to significant cost savings and improved efficiency in the long run.
With the OneEvent® Refrigeration Monitoring System you can be certain that food is refrigerated at safe temperatures. When temperatures exceed pre-set limits, staff is notified. And, with the OneEvent Thermo Heartbeat™ you will be alerted up to 30 days in advance before a refrigeration unit will fail to keep food safe.
If you add it all up, with OneEvent® refrigeration monitoring you can save money by reducing loss, time savings and preventing expensive rush service calls. Plus, our clients tell us that they, and their staff, sleep better at night knowing OneEvent has their back.
