Refrigeration Analytics Module for Grocery
Go Beyond Compliance. Unlock Full Refrigeration Performance.
Once your leak detection and compliance are under control, the next step is getting the most from your refrigeration assets. Bueno’s Refrigeration Analytics module builds on the minimal connections used in our Refrigerant Leak Detection module, expanding to full rack and case connectivity for richer insights, faster fault detection, and proactive performance tuning.
With access to all relevant rack, case, and sensor data, this module goes beyond identifying leaks to managing ice-up risks, charge levels, compressor health, and control strategies. The result is fewer emergencies, longer asset life, and a more efficient store network.
The Problem: A Compliant System Can Still Fail
Hidden Inefficiencies Increase Cost
Meeting AIM Act ALDS requirements doesn’t guarantee optimal refrigeration performance. Defrost scheduling issues, incorrect receiver levels, compressor faults, and poorly tuned floats can still drive up energy use, increase leak risk, and shorten asset lifespan.
Ice-Ups & Case Failures
Ice-ups are one of the most common and expensive refrigeration issues in grocery stores. They can cause temperature excursions, product loss, urgent repairs, and downtime. By detecting early warning signs—such as airflow restriction, temperature drift, or extended defrost cycles—we help stop these problems before they impact operations.
Costly Emergency Call-Outs
Urgent refrigeration call-outs are often preventable. Our analytics detect performance drift, manage and filter alarms, and prioritise actions so service visits can be pooled and scheduled more efficiently, reducing labour costs and minimising disruption.
From Detection to Optimisation
Move beyond basic compliance into proactive system optimisation. By connecting to full rack and case data, we provide root cause clarity across refrigerant health, charge validation, and overall refrigeration performance. Our analytics integrate data from all available sensors to deliver more accurate identification of leak sources, early ice-up risks, and other performance concerns. This reduces false alarms, cuts operational noise, and ensures your team focuses on the most impactful actions.
Advanced Fault, Leak & Ice-Up Detection
Go beyond basic alerts with multi-point analysis that identifies slow refrigerant leaks, compressor cycling issues, and the earliest signs of ice formation in cases—allowing targeted intervention before product loss or downtime.
Charge Validation & Liquid Level Management
Continuously track receiver liquid levels to confirm correct refrigerant charge, prevent inflated leak rates in compliance reporting, and maintain stable rack operation under varied conditions.
Operational Health & Performance Tuning
Monitor ALDS instrumentation accuracy, detect calibration drift, and optimise system performance with continuous tuning of suction/discharge floats, setpoints, and control strategies for long-term efficiency gains.
Four Capabilities Driving Refrigeration Performance
Liquid Level Management
Maintain refrigerant charge within engineering specifications for stable rack operation and accurate reporting. Prevent overstated leak volumes in compliance records.
Refrigerant Sensor Calibration
Detect and correct calibration drift or sensor faults to ensure accurate readings and consistent detection capability.
Enhanced Leak & Ice-Up Insights
Integrate rack, case, and sensor data for early detection of leaks and ice-up conditions, enabling faster, targeted intervention.
Alarm Filtering & Call-Out Reduction
Reduce noise, cut false alarms, and minimise emergency call-outs with prioritisation and pooled task scheduling.
Full Refrigeration Connectivity for Smarter Decisions
Refrigeration Analytics goes beyond compliance — connecting to all available points within fridge and rack controllers to unlock richer insights. By accessing detailed data on charge levels, pressures, float operation, case temperatures, and cycling patterns, we detect inefficiencies earlier and optimise performance across the system. This deeper connection delivers more accurate diagnostics, better tuning, and long-term reductions in leak rates, ice-ups, and energy waste.
From Insight to Efficiency
This module transforms raw refrigeration data into clear, prioritised actions that improve rack health, reduce ice-up incidents, and maintain optimal refrigerant charge. By connecting to full rack and case data, it enables earlier detection of performance drift, fewer false alarms, and smarter maintenance scheduling. The result: lower leak rates, reduced downtime, and a more stable, efficient refrigeration network across every store.
