Catering Bill Format for Supervision Made Easy

Catering bill format for Supervision

good afternoon everybody uh my name is giacomo favari i am corel usa's north american marketing manager for refrigeration applications today i'm going to present to you our plug-in cabinet solution overview for refrigeration food service applications as we just mentioned these products are tailored to food service applications however corral is organizing many many webinars during this couple of days so make sure to check our agenda and sign up for other interesting webinars on corel's solutions for natural refrigerants so today we are going to talk about some food service trends uh talking about the food service market in general with its cementation and needs and then we are going to provide an overview of corel's product portfolio for food service applications in particular we are going to focus on ij which is our new controller platform with high customizability and connectivity and then we will also focus on eos one which is an all-in-one solution for propane applications of course at the end of the slides we will have some time to dedicate to our connectivity options now let's start talking about plug-in applications plug-in units are largely used for their flexibility and lower maintenance with high reliability in the merchandiser sector we have bottle coolers and ice cream freezers in the catering and professional sector we have several type of units to store and display food we also have scientific equipment that is installed in laboratories and pharmacies for food retail application there is also an increasing trend of installing plug-in units in small and medium-sized stores here we can find units like chest freezers or vertical showcases of different dimensions now the main market needs are divided into four categories from our perspective one is of course um addressing the environmental impact of companies um the other one is of course the fact that food service equipment must resist in harsh environments and it must be easy to use moreover food must be preserved and well presented in order to be attractive for customers and then of course we have connectivity as a new trend in order to manage assets remotely so let's take a look at all these trends the first trend that we will mention is the high attention to environment impact f gas regulations with a target of reducing direct co2 emissions have boosted the introduction of propane as the most common refrigerant for plug-in units eco design together with equal labeling in the last few years have stimulated the market to develop new technologies to reach better results in term of energy consumptions both for professional refrigeration where class f coolers have been banned last year and now also for commercial refrigeration where display cabinets where class lower than g will be banned in three years plug-in units are largely used also for their reliability and lower maintenance requirements new technology is used to keep complexity hidden from the final user and service personnel fast detection of failures and clear instructions for a reactive resolution are extremely important moreover these units are often installed in harsh environments with dust water or humidity and also in areas with unstable power supply plug-in manufacturers are therefore requiring strong and reliable solutions that can be operated in harsh environments for a long time the environmental impact is not only expressed in terms of emissions but also in terms of food waste quality in food preservation is in fact one of the main drivers for the refrigeration sector stable temperature and humidity regulation is a significant value in this direction food preservation is as relevant as food presentation a product well presented must be perfectly conserved moreover the refrigerator itself must be well designed wood glass and other new materials are becoming more and more common the controller for some use it for some units has a relevant impact on the overall look of the equipment the last trend that we will mention is connectivity refrigerated plug-in units can be installed in a store with other units and with a monitoring system here in this case the primary need is to monitor and optimize the planned performance very often however especially for merchandisers and food service equipment the units can also be installed alone with several installations in different locations in these cases an asset monitoring system is required to receive alarm alerts and enable basic interaction with the equipment from a remote location new technology and connectivity are also introducing a new level of user experience moving the interaction from the controller to smart devices like smartphones using apps now let's take a look at corel's product portfolio for plugin units corel has an extended range of controllers and solutions for all the different types of refrigerated plugins here are our new solutions ij on the left is our new platform of highly customizable controllers with an extended options catalog we also have the heels family with the new entry heels one on the right heels one is a high efficiency solution with dc inverter technology rotary compressor and stepper motor electronic expansion valves for small and medium sized propane units both of these solutions can be applied to all the market segments so let's start talking about ij first ij is a customizable controller with high hand technology the hmi features the display features include capacitive touch technology it's the same technology that you have on smartphones we have a full colored surface on the controller a frameless and flat design that is very modern and updated to 2021 of course um a wide visibility angle and ultra high contrast help really read what is written on the display and moreover we are offering backlit buttons so say goodbye to rubber buttons and membrane buttons we are actually integrating backlit buttons into the capacitive touch screen of the controller now ij can be customized to fit any unit it is possible to select the color of the front surface select tailor-made icons and buttons and also rebrand the solution with your company logo so you are providing your own brand experience to your customers ij also offers many aesthetic customization options we have some standard configurable combinations that can be easily selected and implemented using a catalog for example here we can see on the bottom left part of the screen a black controller that comes with a blue display and white icons now we also offer an additional customizability layer by providing the possibility to print any image on the front of the controller which is going to be protected by a polycarbonate layer some example are stainless steel or wooden finish that can be very useful in food service applications and in wine coolers for example when it comes to performance the ij's modular architecture allows selecting several inputs and output options you can leverage corel's technology to enhance the energy performance of your plug-in system through our smart control logics it is also possible to implement variable capacity compressors and manage humidity very easily through our hardware iij comes in different shapes and forms we can provide a small or a large architecture which can reach up to four or five or sorry four or six relays and on top of that it is possible to select either variable capacity compressor management or modulating load driving such as ec fence installed in the evaporator for example or also humidity management ij offers different mounting options we have panel panel mounting models and split models in which the hmi is installed separately from the controller it is also possible to the split controller without the display because users can still interact with the controller via bluetooth or any other connectivity options ij can manage the speed of a variable capacity compressor with no external converters using serial communication the parameters to manage the most common vcc models available on the market are pre-programmed into controllers simplifying the solution development process for the oems ig can help reach energy consumption reduction targets thanks to variable capacity compressor management and soft start procedure maintenance is also simplified because of the information ij retrieves from the compressor's inverter so there is a back and forth communication between the controller itself and the compressor inverter and we can get immediate notifications in case anything deviates from normal operating conditions corel provides powerful manufacturing tools that allow reducing skus programming the controllers in the production line and also simplifying and offline testing in fact we are providing spark on the left side of the screen that is our pc software to program each unit via cable connection sparkly um that you can see right here is the command line version of spark and it allows seamless integration of our tools within an existing production line software architecture replica is an app that can be used to program parameters easily through nfc technology when it comes to connectivity we have several options available for dij nfc is available on all models and it is used to configure a unit's parameters during commissioning through the nfc technology we can have the same interaction that with the controller that we would have with the programming key we can read parameters change the parameters and then write them back into the controller without needing to power on the controller throughout the process now bluetooth is also built into the controller so you don't need any additional converter but it's an optional function so specific part numbers are provided with bluetooth always ask for the bluetooth model so that we can advise ingly as you know bluetooth enables real-time interactions with the controller uh at a certain distance from the controller so we can log into our apps and then we can basically interact with the controller from a distance using bluetooth technology in real time the integrated bms port can be used to enable remote monitoring and then controlling the controllers using a bms system from a remote location specific part numbers are required of course so in case you need to integrate the controller into a bms system then let us know and we can select the corresponding part number for you no external converters are needed in order to do that now connectivity would not be leveraged appropriately if we wouldn't provide any app together with the controllers applica is our service tool it is an app developed for field service operations applica provides access to the complete list of the ij's parameters applica works with both nfc and bluetooth technology it helps us run diagnostics on a controller that is installed in a unit we can also retrieve charts regarding the variables that have been logged into the controller and we can easily set all the parameters of the controller that's why we think this is the best field service tool that we can provide for this controller controller on the other hand is still an app developed by corel but this is intended for end users only so it simplifies the user interaction with the controller allowing the user to basically select the mode setting very easily we have some pre-configured temperature set points that are based on the kind of products that the user is storing in their unit but of course it's also possible to customize the set points and then we can retrieve temperature logs and check also the alarms status on the unit ij comes in different versions that are available for food service equipment and merchandisers we are also introducing a new ij version for scientific applications so please contact us for any further information and we can redirect you ing with the specific needs of your units now let's jump to heos one which is our high efficiency propane all-in-one solution as we mentioned earlier on eos one is a high efficiency solution with dc inverter technology rotary compressors and stepper electronic expansion valves for small and medium sized propane units one is an all-in-one solution comprising several components to guarantee best-in-class performance the solution has been developed with specific focus on user interactions providing a high technology user experience through connectivity options it's very similar to the ij from a user interface perspective okay the only one solution comprises a dc compressor a stepper valve and variable speed fan management heels one allows synchronizing working operations applying advanced algorithms and machine machine learning algorithms as well the compressors available for heels one are represented in this page as you can see we have a full range of compressors for propane applications that include medium temperature and low temperature applications our capacity ranges from one hp to roughly three hp in medium temperature and then from half hp until almost a hp in low temperature applications through these range of compressors we can really manage any kind of application in food service so on the left you can see merchandisers then we go through food service equipment and display cases and then also we have larger units with chest freezers for low temp applications and also reaching coolers or reaching freezers here are some of the here are actually all the components of the eos one system so on the left we can see the compressors that we just analyzed and then we can see the electronic expansion valve the control unit that is embedded within the inverter itself so what you see here is the controller and the inverter for the compressor then of course we can also provide dc fan motors and those are powered by the heos one itself they don't require additional boards for that and then we have of course all of our sensors and probes and accessories range with the smart user interface that provides connectivity to the system through heels one we can provide top efficiency and top performance this means that basically our energy efficiency is very high at all operating conditions we are guaranteeing stable product temperature because of the modulating technology that we implemented and also because of the smooth regulations logics that are implemented and embedded in the software we can also guarantee top performance because where the compressors work at full speed we can of course obtain a very quick pull down and so we can make sure that our product is always stored at the best temperature conditions if we look at the right side of the screen we can also see some interesting aspects of the technology of compressors that we are using as i mentioned these are dc compressors with rotary technology and basically they guarantee low noise and vibrations and very compact dimensions moreover for oems adapting our technology is very easy and quick because all of our compressors and the the class b software have been tested and approved following the 60335 dash 2-34 and xaa tests so that is something that we already took out of the way why would you use bldc rotary compressors so first of all we are talking about brushless direct current electric motors which are synchronous motors powered by a dc source via electronic drivers which pilot the motor now this kind of technology enables us to provide the widest regulation range on the market so the rounds per second of the motor can be lowered down to 17 rounds per second up to 90 rounds per second so it's a very broad range of modulation in terms of efficiency of efficiency a dc inverter technology is way more efficient than in ac inverter technology and also on off technology obviously moreover we can use our inverter technology to reach higher revolution speeds which means we can basically have a very compact design for the compressor in terms of dimensions and weight and now why do you use an electronic expansion valve in such a system so first of all we can have a very precise evaporation feed control and a wide range of modulation so we wouldn't be able to really leverage the dc technology and the variable capacity compressor technology without electronic expansion valve with stepper moto technology that we are providing across the whole range of capacities and for all the refrigerants of course in particular propane we can also implement and deliver smart control objects so basically we are running always at the highest suction pressure that is allowed by the operating conditions so we are running floating suction set point in real time the valve position is managed by the controller that is also managing the compressor speed so the valve and the compressor are fully integrated in the system and we applied smart control logics not only to keep the envelope under control but also to operate uh very efficiently in terms of reliability we have perfect super yield control at all times we prevent the floodbags by using the electronic expansion valve and also the system has the capability to detect out of standard behavior and act ingly and so why heals one basically we can preserve the food better because the control monitors continually continuously the cooling performance and also it evaluates whether or not defrosts are needed so we are operating with a very stable temperature and that can guarantee two extra days of shelf life for your products we also have a success story and an energy consumption study that has been performed by regent that is a third party laboratory basically a chest freezer with our largest compressor the e hundred has been tested under climate class 3 and temperature class l1 conditions and basically what we obtain in terms of energy consumption per day is 4.1 uh sorry for 4.11 kilowatt hours per day when working with a fixed temperature set point and by enabling a variable set point so increasing by increasing the working set point during the night we would also reach a better result of course slightly below four kilowatt hours per day so this remarkable result has been obtained by using helos one with the largest compressor available in our range that is of course tailored to a chest freezer application our electronic expansion valve technology the eos one medium inverter dc fence for the condenser and also of course a charge of 150 grams of propane let's not forget about the fact that eos one is not only a highly efficient system but it is also provided with the same iot option as the ij so again we can use applica and controller our two apps for service teams and end users leveraging either nfc or bluetooth technology moreover eos one can be connected to a bms system using an rs485 connection to integrate the controller within an integrated bms let's revise the connectivity options so both the ij and the heels one are compatible with all the apps and the software and monitoring options that i just presented in particular applica can work with nfc technology or with bluetooth technology as well controller is only available with bluetooth technology but by using our cloud services you can enable remote interactions with the controller using the controller app on your smartphone so you can leverage internet connectivity and then when it comes to rs-485 connection so basically the modbus protocol it is possible to integrate ij and eos one within a supervisory system leveraging our technology our supervisory system is called boss it is compatible with wi-fi technology so you can in case it is necessary you use rs485 to wi-fi gateways and avoiding basically uh wiring in a particular location when the controllers are installed so you don't need wires to connect ij or heos1 to the boss monitoring system because you can wi-fi antennas and communicate over uh wi-fi technology spark and sparkly that are our tools dedicated to manufacturing can also interact with the controller through rs485 cable connections one last look at controller so as we said this is the app that we developed for end users that enables them to have a smart interaction with the controllers using a very simple interface and also select temperature set points based on the kind of food that is stored in the unit they can also retrieve temperature logs and they can also receive push notifications in case any alarm is triggered by the unit applica is instead our app for service technicians which basically allows commissioning the units and also configuring all of their parameters list leveraging bluetooth technology using a very easy to use smart interface to communicate with the controller it works both with nfc and bluetooth technology on top of that we are also ending an additional connectivity layer with our supervisory systems which are which belong to the what we call the boss family of products so our controllers both the ij and the eos one can communicate with boss and it is also possible to enable wi-fi communication using a serial-to-white wi-fi gateway that is basically an antenna connected via cable to the controllers and at that point the gateway retrieves all the information from the controller and it communicates it to the boss using wi-fi technology okay i hope this was interesting to you as exciting as it was for me to present these solutions and if you need any additional information please feel free to reach out to me or anybody
