Cooling intelligence for food retail operations
Quality, safety and product preservation are critical in food retail. To avoid waste, control costs and comply with hygiene, health and safety requirements, refrigeration systems must operate with continuity and reliability. At the same time, supermarkets need to improve energy efficiency and reduce refrigerant-related emissions.
As part of CAREL’s Distributed intelligence theme, RED optimise applies Cooling intelligence to site management, turning refrigeration data into shared insights that support better decisions across stores and teams.
Shared data for balanced decision-making
Managing a supermarket involves different professional roles, each with specific responsibilities, skills and objectives. Without a shared view of system data, individual actions can lead to incomplete or conflicting decisions.
RED optimise collects and processes information from refrigeration systems across one or more stores, supporting key processes such as temperature control, defrost management and anomaly prioritisation. By analysing thermodynamic behaviour and system performance, the platform helps translate technical data into operational guidance aligned with different business goals.
Proactive maintenance and performance analysis
RED optimise supports refrigeration system monitoring through KPIs based on product storage temperature, energy efficiency and individual asset operation.
Cabinet performance indicators use predefined data subsets to identify abnormal conditions before they become critical, helping technicians intervene earlier and protect product quality.
Decision-making algorithms analyse these KPIs, assign a severity level to the status of each refrigeration unit and highlight the operational actions needed to verify or resolve anomalies.
Measurable value for smarter sites
Optimisation is not a one-off activity. System conditions can change over time due to entropy, manual interventions or uncoordinated maintenance activities.
RED optimise helps keep sites optimised by detecting deviations in system data and supporting timely corrective actions. In this connected ecosystem, maintenance becomes more intelligent and proactive, helping reduce operating costs and waste, lower energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, and support food safety for stored products. By distributing intelligence across data, assets and teams, RED optimise helps make food retail sites smarter, more efficient and more sustainable.
