Webinar Recap: Former Refrigeration Techs Discuss AI
“Refrigeration is the elephant in the room in refrigeration, retail grocery and cold storage. It is almost the entire ball game when it comes to energy maintenance, sustainability operations and compliance”
Axiom Cloud’s Amrit Robbins sets the stage for how vital refrigeration is for energy maintenance and overall costs for retail grocery and cold storage.
Robbins discusses the ramifications of a growing technician shortage, including its impact on profit margins.
CoolSys Vice President Robert Eidson on the need to involve finance in discussions about maintenance cost before they occur in order to effectively budget.
“The only time that people ever look at their data is after an emergency,” says Robbins, making the case for utilizing AI for predictive maintenance and how easy it can be to incorporate.
On May 7th, Axiom Cloud CEO, Amrit Robbins hosted a webinar with refrigeration industry experts Robert Eidson (CoolSys), Pete Cuneo (SEER2), and Dustin Tillery (Axiom Cloud). The group discussed how moving from reactive to predictive refrigeration management is now possible, thanks to AI, and how it can be used to break out of the vicious cycle of predictive maintenance.
“The vast majority of companies are finding that their reactive maintenance practices really can’t keep up with their facility needs. And the scale of the problems are escalating every day. We’re stuck in a vicious cycle but doing more of the same isn’t an option”
