Enterprise data analysis

The data acquired become useful information for creating the right strategy,
optimising monitoring across stores and maximising energy saving.

The efficiency gained can be

maintained only with a centralised
data analysis system that helps
decision makers adopt the right
actions.

System optimisation, energy saving and product quality

are the main objectives of data centralisation:
• data copied from local to centralised system;
• interactive graphs to make system troubleshooting faster;
• different system access profiles;
• custom reports and compliance with legislative
requirements in force;
• statistics on cabinet temperature behaviour;
• documents and notes relating to the system can be shared;
• continuous control of correct system operation via sign-of-life;
• centralised management of units via local supervisors.
