Star Refrigeration champions AI-driven sustainability at Cold
Chain Live! 2024
GLASGOW,
Scotland, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Star
Refrigeration is set to participate as a gold sponsor, exhibitor,
and speaker at the upcoming Cold Chain Live! 2024. Dedicated to
advancing sustainable practices within the cold chain sector,
Star's team of experts will advise on the latest technologies
designed to minimise energy consumption and carbon emissions. This
year, the company is particularly excited to unveil new
advancements in AI-driven, data-led monitoring and performance
optimisation technologies which are currently redefining industry
standards.
"Our focus will be on energy efficiency,
highlighting how AI and data analytics technology transform real
data into actionable insights to deliver significant energy and CO2
savings for cold chain members."
The event, organised by the Cold Chain Federation, will take
place from 4th – 5th September at the Telford International Centre.
During the conference, Star Refrigeration will offer practical
advice and share case studies of AI-enabled, data led monitoring
and optimisation technology, highlighting successful collaborations
with key Cold Chain Federation members, including Tesco and Asda.
These partnerships have led to energy savings of over 10% and
received recognition at the Federation's Cold Chain Sustainability
Awards 2024.
Cold Chain Live 2024 will cover topics such as the state of the
UK cold chain in 2024, cold chain as a driver of economic
prosperity, workforce challenges and sustainability. The event will
introduce an Innovation Zone for showcasing new products and
services, more networking opportunities, vehicle and trailer
displays, and a Gala Dinner.
Star Refrigeration will exhibit and offer advice on energy
efficiency and compliance topics. Additionally, Dr Rob Lamb, Group Sales and Marketing Director at
Star Refrigeration, will present on "How AI and Data Analysis
Technology Can Reduce the Energy Consumption of Cooling Equipment
in Cold Stores" at the Innovation Zone on 4th September at
11:45 am.
Dr Rob Lamb said, "We are
delighted to participate in Cold Chain Live! 2024. This event is a
fantastic opportunity to connect with industry peers and share the
latest advancements in sustainable technology.
Our focus will be on energy efficiency, highlighting how AI and
data analytics technology transform real data into actionable
insights to deliver significant energy and CO2 savings for cold
chain members."
Star Refrigeration has continuously supported cold chain
operators in their journey towards a more sustainable future,
guiding customers to future-proof refrigeration systems and
delivering the lowest costs of ownership. The company's commitment
to advancing industry standards has led to the development of new
technology to enable precise energy optimisation and maintenance
practices.
Over the last decade, the company has heavily invested in its
'Ethos' system, which builds digital twins for refrigeration
systems and uses artificial intelligence. The rapid development of
user-friendly artificial intelligence applications has birthed
opportunities to enhance the performance of refrigeration systems
through complex modelling.
This advanced technology identifies performance gaps and provides
actionable insights, enabling fine-tuned maintenance and ensuring
systems operate at peak efficiency.
Dr Lamb said, "Imagine a technology that uses digital twin
modelling and AI to drive itself, gain insights, learn, and adapt
continuously, configuring millions of refrigeration system data
points in seconds instead of months to locate hidden inefficiencies
and protect against operational threats by predicting and fixing
issues before they occur."
"This is what we envision for the new era, a technology that
evolves with the growing needs of the cold chain industry".
Ethos is a stand-alone system that can be easily retrofitted
into existing equipment. It collects data from the refrigeration
system and compares it against a cloud-based 'digital twin'—a
virtual simulation that evaluates ideal system performance against
actual performance data to identify operational inefficiencies. The
data is then displayed on an online dashboard, along with estimated
energy and CO2 savings and projected energy trends.
Leading the UK's temperature controlled storage and logistics
industry, the Cold Chain Live! Conference brings together industry
leaders, experts, and innovators to discuss key challenges and
opportunities in cold storage, transport, compliance, and
sustainability.
