Refrigeration and cold storage already have controllers and alarms. GridFlex proposes an independent view that correlates equipment-level power with independent temperature readings, to support the people responsible for the site.
Understand normal operation first
Defrost cycles, loading, maintenance and the environment all change how equipment behaves. These patterns need to be understood before any reading is escalated, or alerts become noise.
Reach the right person
Site, maintenance and security responsibilities differ. The proposal is to define who receives which kind of alert, with suitable evidence attached.
Validate the value
A pilot would evaluate how useful the warnings are, how many false alarms occur, how the system behaves offline and how operators respond. No spoilage-prevention guarantee is claimed.
