power of internet of things (IoT) connectivity to realize greater control over lighting, HVAC and refrigeration — all while consolidating operational and system performance data to deliver insights and help immediately enable retailer actions needed to keep food fresh and safe. Most control systems are built with open protocols to provide connectivity between various types of devices and components. However, using the same brand of system components and devices enables even greater compatibility to deliver more holistic system integration and improved functionalities.

Powerful data aggregation tools bring together Powerful data aggregation tools bring together


Operators can quickly evaluate the effectiveness of total site performance, comparing current data with historic records and best-case projections. Smart alarms alert retailer-designated responsible parties of potential system faults, providing high- level explanations, possible causes and suggested corrective actions. What’s more, the majority of these supervisory controls can be accessed via tablet, phone or laptop simply using a wi-fi connection.


From an enterprise perspective, data from multiple sites can then be aggregated into a single view, helping to provide retails insight on regional trends and best-performing stores while continually identifying areas for improvement. Whether you’re looking for ways to improve energy efficiencies, drive customer engagement or ensure food safety, modern facility controls provide operational insights to help retailers maintain a competitive edge.
