Distributed intelligence for connected HVAC/R systems
In commercial and industrial buildings, collecting data from installed equipment into a single information architecture is essential to monitor anomalies, optimise performance and coordinate energy-saving strategies.
The new CAREL boss and boss mini supervisors support this evolution by centralising unit status, control logic and system data in one modern, high-performance platform. As part of CAREL’s Distributed intelligence theme, they connect local control with remote intelligence, helping individual components work together as part of a smarter HVAC/R ecosystem.
Local supervision and remote optimisation
boss and boss mini act as the technological heart of the system, giving users advanced, intuitive software to monitor equipment and access control logic. By combining field data, local optimisation logic and strategies from cloud services, they support operational continuity and advanced diagnostics.
Integration with CAREL RED optimise extends this approach to remote building control, helping simplify decision-making processes and reduce the need for continuous on-site technical supervision.
Simpler configuration and energy visibility
The new boss range introduces tools designed to make system management easier and more flexible.
The integrated Map Editor allows users to create and customise system maps and supervisor pages directly from the device, through a guided procedure that does not require development skills.
The Rule Engine enables automatic logic without coding, combining predefined conditions and actions to manage loads, set points and notifications.
The Energy plug-in brings consumption and production data into a structured view, supporting energy analysis, functional tagging and optimisation of self-consumption.
Integrated control and secure system management
As central elements of the CAREL ecosystem, boss and boss mini integrate field controllers and advanced optimisation strategies into a single management platform. Native connectivity with solutions such as Floating Suction, Very Low Superheat, the MPX range, pRack and Ejector Manager enables coordinated control strategies that help maximise performance and reduce energy consumption in supermarket refrigeration systems.
With a secure-by-design approach, regular assessments and ongoing updates, boss and boss mini also support high levels of data protection and compliance with emerging regulations, including the Cyber Resilience Act.
