Case Study: Monitoring and Automation in the Restoration of a Department Store

The Challenge

Nowadays, efficiency in the management of catering spaces within large areas is key to guaranteeing optimal service, complying with safety standards and optimizing energy resources. In this context, a well-known multinational company in the furniture sector presented us with a challenge: implement an automated monitoring and control system for the refrigeration equipment in your foodservice area..

The objective was clear: to guarantee the optimal functioning of all essential equipment for food preservation, minimizing risks and optimizing operational efficiency. To achieve this, a system was designed to cover 19 critical control points, ensuring that each one operated within optimal parameters and allowing real-time remote monitoring.

The Solution

  • Advanced monitoring of a TCP-IP chiller: This equipment, essential for daily operations, required continuous and precise control. A system was developed that allows knowing its status at all times, avoiding failures and allowing an immediate response to any anomaly.
  • Centralized management of 5 essential refrigeration equipment: A monitoring system was implemented in cold storage rooms. This ensures that the temperature is maintained within the appropriate ranges, protecting the quality of the stored products.
  • Supervision of 12 refrigeration cabinets and a Grundfos pumping unit: The automation and control of these elements makes it possible to detect temperature variations and optimize their energy consumption, reducing the risk of unexpected failures.

Key Results

  • Increased operational safety:
    Reduced risk of critical equipment failure, avoiding losses of
    product and downtime.
  • Energy efficiency: Monitoring and
    adjustment of consumption based on demand, optimizing energy use.
  • Real-time monitoring: Remote control
    from any location, facilitating decision making.
  • Intelligent automation: Automatic
    response to changes in key parameters, reducing the need for
    manual intervention.

Conclusion

This project reflects how technology can transform
the operation of catering spaces, ensuring that each equipment
works within its optimal conditions and facilitating the management for the
staff in charge.

How kiconex can help in residential

At kiconex, our mission is clear: to deliver technology solutions that improve operational efficiency and reduce energy consumption. An excellent example of this approach is our recent project, a residential building that faced major challenges in managing its HVAC and domestic hot water (DHW) systems. Here we tell you how our IoT solutions have made a significant difference.

The Challenge: Complex Coordination and Uncontrolled Consumption

Before implementing our technology, the building faced complicated management. The system required two separate units for heat generation, one for air conditioning and one for DHW. Of course, it lacked efficient control, resulting in unnecessary energy use and difficult-to-manage peak demand. Added to this was the need to comply with strict safety controls, such as anti-legionella treatment, and to accurately monitor water consumption throughout the building in order to pass on electrical costs.

The kiconex Solution: kiControl and kiAnalytics

Our solution was to implement through kiControl, an automated management system that allowed us to efficiently coordinate the valves, pumps and temperatures of the heat generation systems. This system, integrated with volumetric water and energy meters, allowed for real-time monitoring and automatic adjustments as needed.

In addition, we connected the system to kiCloud, providing administrators with remote access to control the entire building, with the ability to receive alerts and manage consumption from anywhere. To comply with security regulations, we also include automatic anti-legionella treatment.

Finally, thanks to kiAnalitics automatic reports on water consumption can be generated. These reports allow Rosenhügel managers to identify usage patterns and further optimize the management of this essential resource.

Results: Savings, Safety and Total Control

Thanks to the implementation of our IoT solutions, Rosenhügel now enjoys a much more efficient and secure operation. Key results include:

  • Significant energy savings: Automatic coordination of systems has reduced consumption and improved operating efficiency.
  • Real-time monitoring: Managers have full access to water and energy consumption data, allowing them to make informed decisions instantly.
  • Automation of the anti-legionella treatment: Ensuring sanitary safety without manual effort.

Conclusion

If your company or building needs more efficient resource management, kiconex has the perfect solution for you. From remote control to full automation, our IoT tools can transform the way you manage energy and essential resources.

How kiconex can help in the hospitality sector

The hotel industry has a huge challenge: to combine excellence in customer experience with efficient resource management. Our client was facing several problems related to the lack of supervision and monitoring in their facilities, which directly impacted energy consumption and daily operations. Here’s how Kiconex intervened to transform their processes and results.

 

The Challenge: Lack of Centralized Oversight and Control

The hotel managed multiple cooling equipment, domestic hot water (DHW) production and energy systems without a centralized control system. This resulted in high energy costs and a poorly optimized use of resources.

 

The kiconex Solution: device management and digitization

An advanced monitoring and automation system was implemented to optimize the use of its facilities.

  • Real-time monitoring: We install cameras and sensors to monitor cooling and DHW systems in real time, allowing managers to detect anomalies and optimize equipment performance.
  • Automation of cold rooms: Rules were implemented to turn off the cold rooms outside working hours, which has resulted in considerable energy savings.
  • Intelligent control of door openings: Thanks to our systems, you can now manage the opening and closing times of doors in loading and unloading areas. Also, in the event that a worker leaves the door of these chambers open, an alarm is triggered to warn of this. This allows you to manage the time they remain open, optimizing loading times and reducing the loss of cold, which generates considerable energy savings.
  • DHW management: We optimize water preheating through cooling chillers, improving efficiency without compromising guest comfort.

 

Results: Energy Savings and Improved Operational Control

The impact of Kiconex solutions has been remarkable in the hotel’s operation:

  • 15% savings in energy consumption: Process automation and constant monitoring have significantly reduced operating costs related to energy use.
  • Increased efficiency in cold room management: By implementing automation rules, unnecessary use of energy outside working hours has been reduced.
  • Door control optimization: Loading and unloading times or unattended open doors are now much better managed, avoiding unnecessary energy losses.

 

Conclusion: Digital transformation in the Hotel Sector

Thanks to kiconex’s IoT technology, they have been able to not only improve their operational efficiency, but also reduce their environmental impact and optimize the use of key resources. This success story demonstrates how technology solutions can make a big difference in demanding sectors such as the hotel industry.
