Retail
Harmonise technical management across all your stores.
Stores are generally fitted out when they open, by local contractors. Opening hours change while settings do not, refrigeration drift goes unnoticed outside opening hours, and performance is not compared from one store to the next.
IO-Sphere brings the entire network onto a single platform and extends best practice to every store.
Benefits
Centralised management of the entire network.
Every store compared
- The same indicators everywhere, from the shopping centre to the high-street shop
- Stores ranked, from the most efficient to the most energy-hungry
- Schedules aligned with opening hours, rolled out in one go
Controlled customer comfort
- Temperature and air quality tracked on the shop floor
- An alert as soon as a setpoint drifts, before any complaint
- Heating and cooling turned down as soon as the store closes
Stock protected
- Cold rooms and refrigerated cabinets watched day and night
- The alert sent to the right person, including outside opening hours
- Temperature history retained and available for inspection
Use cases
Use cases for store networks.
Compare energy performance across sites
The same indicators for every site, corrected for weather: drift is identified and investment prioritised, without relying on annual bills.
Modules: EMS · Multi-site
Run heating, cooling, lighting, solar and air quality together
Systems fitted by different contractors, each tuned on its own. Brought together, they follow the same occupancy and the same hours, and solar output is used where it is needed.
Modules: EMS · SCADA
Run several sites as one
Schedules, thresholds and alarms approved on one site, rolled out to the others. Every alarm in one queue, and permissions that keep each person to their own scope.
Modules: Multi-site · CMMS
Bring technical events, security and video together
A forced door, an intrusion, a technical fault: the event is presented with the image from the nearest camera, without the operator having to switch consoles.
Modules: VMS · SCADA
Monitor the cold chain
Cold rooms, refrigerated cabinets, temperature-controlled warehouses: a drift sends an alert to the right person, following the on-call schedule, and the history serves as proof.
