Sprouts Deploys Axiom Cloud Apps For refrigeration management
Axiom Cloud is thrilled to announce that its “apps for refrigeration” are now deployed in dozens of Sprouts Farmers Market stores in Northern California. Axiom’s apps integrate with Sprouts’ existing Emerson E2 controllers, and will be used to improve refrigeration management by enhancing uptime, reducing refrigerant leak rates, and generating new revenue through automated demand response.
With Facilities Analyzer, Axiom’s foundational app, Sprouts now has real-time access to refrigeration and HVAC data across all enrolled sites in one dashboard, and receives highly-contextual notifications alerting them to urgent maintenance issues, refrigerant leaks, and energy-saving opportunities. Monthly Performance Reports summarize results and intelligently rank outstanding issues by urgency and value.
Axiom’s Virtual Battery app provides Sprouts with a completely new revenue stream by utilizing low-temperature refrigeration and HVAC loads to participate in PG&E’s demand response programs. Additionally, Virtual Battery will allow Sprouts to take advantage of PG&E’s lucrative Automated Demand Response incentives to make the ROI even more attractive. Enersponse will be helping enable automated demand response by coordinating with PG&E and sending dispatch signals to each store individually.
Sprouts has over 380 stores in 23 states, and is one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country.
Automated Demand Response incentives are available in PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, and SMUD utility territories, but the funds are running out quickly. If you own grocery stores or supermarkets in California and would like to learn how to access these limited funds, reach out today!
