How Remote Access Can Decrease Refrigeration Systems Downtime

Tuesday, August 6th, 2024

In fast-paced industries that require reliable refrigeration system operations, maintaining uptime is crucial. When unexpected issues arise, identifying and troubleshooting the problem quickly can keep your business up and running with minimal downtime or disruptions. Every moment counts, which is why remote access and technology for industrial refrigeration control systems can help reduce downtime and provide greater control over your facility. 

ENHANCED MONITORING AND TROUBLESHOOTING

With remote access capabilities integrated within your refrigeration control systems, overseeing your equipment and facility is easy, intuitive, and allows for greater oversight into how your equipment is running. Remote monitoring technology gives users real-time insights and updates into their refrigeration systems, regardless of physical location. This allows facility managers and technicians to quickly and easily identify potential issues, diagnose problems, and begin repairs and adjustments without delays. 

Regular maintenance and equipment inspections can extend the life of your equipment. Remote access refrigeration controls improves the efficiency of regular equipment maintenance, by providing technicians regular access to the status of your system. By working around physical barriers of travel and timely inspections in-person, remote refrigeration controls allow service techs to remotely monitor the status of the refrigeration systems and identify maintenance needs or potential problems more regularly than if they had to visit your facility. Implementing a regular refrigeration maintenance program can help maximize the uptime and lifespan of your equipment, helping to avoid costly emergency repairs. 

ALARMS AND NOTIFICATIONS

Built-in alarm systems alert users of any malfunctions within their refrigeration equipment. From leak detection to emergency notifications, alarm systems can help notify operators about their refrigeration controls and help get ahead to reduce unexpected downtime. With remote access, authorized team members can receive instant notifications and respond promptly to alarms. Troubleshooting emergency situations with refrigeration equipment can be expedited thanks to remote access and alarm capabilities. 

KEEP YOUR REFRIGERATION SYSTEM RUNNING

Incorporate remote access capabilities into your refrigeration control systems and decrease downtime in your facility. With greater oversight, monitoring, troubleshooting, and alarm features, facility managers and technicians can achieve more control and uptime for their refrigeration systems. Embrace remote refrigeration controls and optimize the performance and reliability of your new or legacy systems.

Why Consider Egan’s Refrigeration-IQ™ Controls?

Friday, January 28th, 2022

It’s time to streamline your industrial refrigeration process – where should you turn? Egan Company is your resource in designing, installing, and maintaining your next ammonia controls project. 

WHAT IS REFRIGERATION-IQ™?

Most are familiar with ammonia, the naturally occurring gas combination of nitrogen and hydrogen. Similar to other natural refrigerants (for example: water), ammonia is readily available and harmless to the environment, providing a major advantage in the industrial refrigeration arena. 

The refrigeration process itself looks the same here, simply using ammonia as the refrigerant. Thus, ammonia refrigeration presents an industrial grade option to cool large-scale systems within a variety of facilities,  such as food and beverage processing, cold storage warehouses, or industrial operation. 

WHY CHOOSE REFRIGERATION-IQ™?

Choosing custom refrigeration controls for your industrial application is not only cost-effective, it’s energy efficient and environmentally conscious (with a global warming and ozone depletion potential of zero). 

If your facility utilizes an industrial refrigeration system, upgrading to one of Egan Company’s Refrigeration-IQ™ control systems will increase your efficiency while decreasing the energy costs associated with commercial refrigeration. Our certified engineers will customize your system to fulfill your specific needs.
