Top 10: Top ten considerations for OEMs
If you are a buyer, factory manager, or design engineer for an OEM, we recommend the following focus areas when comparing AoFrio’s smart refrigeration platform to your requirements—ensuring both technical and business needs are fully addressed.
- Integrated IoT ecosystem - AoFrio provides a full suite—hardware (SCS Controllers, Monitors, sensors) and software (cloud platform, mobile and web-based management tools)—designed for seamless end-to-end connectivity and data flow.
- Cloud-based asset management - Centralized visibility of all deployed units, with asset-level data accessible via dashboards, APIs, and customizable reports.
- Predictive maintenance analytics - Built-in monitoring and predictive algorithms help reduce downtime by flagging service needs before failures occur, using data from millions of fielded units.
- Energy efficiency and sustainability - Real-time monitoring, variable speed control, and dynamic optimization of energy use to support sustainability goals and ESG compliance.
- Detailed component telemetry - Continuous collection of operational data—temperature, compressor and fan cycles, door activity, and power consumption—to guide engineering improvements and QA.
- Customizable API integration - Robust APIs allow easy integration with enterprise management systems, custom dashboards, or retailer/distributor ERP platforms.
- Role-based software tools - Dedicated applications support the full life cycle—engineering (testing, validation), manufacturing (provisioning, configuration), field service (diagnostics), and business analytics.
- Asset tracking and security - GPS-enabled location logging (via mobile or gateways) minimizes asset loss, streamlines deployment, and supports warranty/ownership verification.
- A scalable and reliable platform - AoFrio IoT solutions are field-proven with millions of connected coolers worldwide, ensuring scalability, reliability, and a robust global support network.
- Support for innovation and compliance - Up-to-date software and firmware releases help future-proof hardware, accommodate changes in regulation, and support ongoing technical innovation.
