Danfoss has updated and enhanced its service offering to create a more sustainable, scalable and secure cloud-based portal for managing food retail operations. Previously known as Danfoss Enterprise Services (DES), Alsense is optimized to provide more efficiency. Supermarkets and food retail stores can reduce their net energy consumption by up to 30 percent with Alsense, saving money and reducing food waste.
Increased Efficiency and Streamlined Performance
All services are integrated into one hub, offering a seamless user experience and added functionalities. Some of these functionalities include:
- Actionable insights — Alsense delivers relevant insights. This allows customers to take corrective actions faster, reducing food and energy waste.
- Increased security and availability — Alsense allows for expansion to different regions, with increased serviceability and a new VPN structure for added security.
- Improved performance and stability — The service platform on Microsoft Azure provides smooth service operation, efficient reaction to alarms, reduced nuisance alarms and increased asset uptime.
- Dynamic feature roadmap — This provides customers with continued enhancements based on real-time feedback.
- Responsive portal — Whether on a mobile device, tablet or desktop, users will experience a seamless portal. This increases ease of use and accessibility to necessary information at a desk or on the go.
Trusted Partnership
With the updated Alsense platform, customers can depend on the combined expertise of two enterprises. Danfoss brings more than 80 years of engineering and mechanical experience to its cloud-based services enabled by the platform powered by Microsoft Azure. Microsoft has the security, scalability and sustainability that customers have come to expect in their digital tools.
Danfoss and Microsoft announced the partnership in October 2019. The new Alsense platform is the first of several solutions to come from this IoT collaboration.
Existing DES customers will experience the added value of Alsense via an automatic update on the current platform. New customers can explore the solutions that best fit their needs by contacting a sales representative.
