Successful delivery cold stores energy monitoring project

Eindhoven (The Netherlands) 2013-10-07

Ovis Telematics delivered a nation wide project to develop a monitoring tool for the Dutch Cold-store sector. The project is a joint cooperation with the Dutch branche sector, the Government and a number of cold stores. During the 1,5 year project, participants have done pilots for a monitoring tool that will help cold stores saving energy.

The results were remarkable, showing saving potentials between 5% to 20% of energy consumption and clearly indicating how savings could be obtained.

This case clearly illustrates the power of wireless monitoring solutions: all cases had different requirements, requiring a flexible solution. This was exactly that we are able to offer by using a variety of monitoring techniques and combining their information in the generic Shepherd application platform.

The project will have follow-up in commercial implementations.
