Summary:In developed countries, companies active in the food retail sector consume about 20% of the total power required for cooling and are therefore ranked among them with the largest energy footprint after the industries. For this reason, refrigeration equipment manufacturers are increasingly focusing on methods that will reduce the power consumption required for its efficient operation. The solutions that are currently implemented mainly focus on interventions in the development phase of freezer units (better insulation, variable frequency compressors, etc.), which, however, do not adequately address the problem. This paper presents the development of an IoT-based technology device which, using machine learning techniques, aims to reduce the power consumption of refrigeration equipment and consecutively, the energy footprint of food retailers.
