Facilio Announces Refrigeration Optimization Software for Food Retail

Facilio, a proptech company that has focused on smart building software, announced its Connected Refrigeration Solution product, which is designed to monitor, control, and optimize refrigeration in food retail operations such as grocery, convenience stores, and supermarkets.

Vendors typically design and sell systems for general building energy monitoring and control. However, that presumes a certain constancy in how operators run buildings, the types of uses within some range, and the potential optimizations. Refrigeration isn’t like oversized air conditioning. Temperature levels are an issue of product safety. Different storage configurations can affect how easily adequate temperatures can be maintained. Companies may have multiple locations as well as distribution centers.
