Star Data Analytics (SDA) have developed an AI-enabled, data-driven performance optimisation and monitoring system which identifies efficiency problems and can save plant owners thousands of pounds in electricity bills. It effectively controls energy waste to ensure you’re getting the best out of your refrigeration and heating equipment.
Ethos harnesses the power of real-time data to analyse current plant operations and compare it with an AI generated model of theoretical performance based on the original design expectations. The system then identifies performance gaps and provides recommendations to enable businesses to make informed decisions on how to bridge these inefficiencies.
Evidence from over 50 live installations indicates that Ethos insights can result in savings ranging from 10% to 30% in annual operational costs, a significant leap towards achieving net zero.
- Real-time monitoring: Continuous tracking of refrigeration system performance against optimal design expectations.
- Inefficiency detection: The system pinpoints inefficiencies and reveals hidden energy-saving opportunities.
- Tailored recommendations: Specific guidance on corrective actions ranging from quick wins such as repairing malfunctioning components, adjusting control setpoints, enhancing door controls, to component overhauls, control upgrades and operational shifts to enhance efficiency.
- Sustainable approach: A focus on reducing carbon footprint and promoting environmentally friendly practices alongside economic benefits.
Web Portal – Dashboard
The web portal provides access for both SDA consultants and the customer in order to view live data and chart historical data. Email alerts can be set up for when sensor parameters go outside limits and sensor data can be bulk downloaded in the industry standard csv format for analysis.
SDA interprets this data using refrigerant properties and equipment datasheets, providing jargon-free, helpful reports which quickly tell you what parts of the plant are working efficiently and which could be improved. The reports give a red, amber, green list and show the load profile and spare capacity of the equipment.
