On World Refrigeration Day, we at AoFrio® take pride in our role as a leading commercial refrigeration technology provider. Our commitment is to empower our customers with the technology to offer beverages and food that are consistently fresh, safe, and perfectly chilled at the point of sale. “Temperature Matters—Absolutely!” is not just a theme; it’s the essence of our work, where precision in temperature control is vital.
Temperature in the world of AoFrio
Our ECR® Motors are tested for optimal performance across all temperatures, ensuring longevity and consistent output.
Peter Barnes, Product Manager Motors says, “Comprehending temperature nuances is essential for achieving peak motor performance. At AoFrio, we rigorously test our motors under extreme conditions to optimize efficiency and durability within demanding temperature requirements. This approach not only extends motor lifespan but also ensures consistent performance across diverse environmental conditions. Our ECR motors, designed with cutting-edge materials and innovation, remain cool even under intense heat. In the high-performance motor world, every Kelvin matters.”
In our Auckland, New Zealand innovation lab, we challenge our motors and fans to their limits. We replicate conditions ranging from equatorial heat to polar cold, ensuring our products can perform across a wide temperature range. This year, we’ve made a significant leap in innovation with our SCS controllers, now featuring variable speed control for compressors.
This enhancement builds on the established track record of SCS offering accurate and reliable control, with new opportunities to reduce energy consumption.
Revolutionizing Temperature Management with IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed the way we manage temperature. AoFrio’s IoT ecosystem enables real-time monitoring and control of refrigeration systems, ensuring peak operational efficiency. Our connected devices can predict maintenance needs, optimize energy consumption, and adapt to environmental changes—all in the quest to maintain the ideal temperature.
We are continually upgrading our IoT capabilities to ensure that firmware updates and retrofits keep older assets connected and performing efficiently. It’s an ongoing narrative of progress, with temperature control and energy efficiency at its core.
Energy Efficiency
At AoFrio, “A better world together” is more than a company value—it’s a guiding principle, particularly in our pursuit of energy efficiency. Our latest software advancements have revolutionized remote asset management, ensuring judicious use of every kilowatt-hour. The SCS Connect Field app empowers asset managers to detect and address sub-optimal performance swiftly, maintaining product temperature within the acceptable range, avoiding energy waste and equipment wear.
Our commitment to sustainability extends to our entire range of solutions and products. From the bearings in our motors to the firmware driving our systems, each component is meticulously designed to minimize energy consumption. We are dedicated to continuously innovating and expanding the horizons of temperature control technology.
Johan Joubert, Product Manager- Food Service and Retail, mentions AoFrio’s efforts for future developments: “We’re not thinking just about the present; we’re designing for the future. Our upcoming solutions will redefine temperature control, making it more intuitive and efficient than before. It’s an exciting time to be at AoFrio.
What next?
As we observe World Refrigeration Day, we’re reminded that temperature does indeed matter—absolutely. It’s the unseen force that shapes our world and our work. At AoFrio, we’re proud to lead the charge in temperature control, ensuring that our products and technologies contribute to a cooler, more sustainable world.
