THE PROBLEM

Why Reactive Maintenance Keeps Costing You

Traditional maintenance approaches miss the signals that precede failure — leaving operators exposed to emergency costs, food loss, and compliance risk.

Your Team Has Learned to Ignore the Alarms

Controllers generate reactive threshold alarms every time a value dips out of range — most of which require no action at all. With 72–99% of industrial alarms being false positives,[1] your team adapts rationally: they start filtering them out. Meanwhile, the data that could actually predict a failure is sitting unread in your controllers and getting overwritten in as little as 72 hours. By the time a real signal looks like the noise, it's too late.

By the Time the Alarm Fires, the Damage Is Already Done

Standard monitoring alerts you after a threshold is crossed — which means after the failure is already in motion. The typical grocery store already spends more on refrigeration energy & maintenance each month than it generates in profit.[2] Emergency repairs average $18,000 per incident,[3] a single cooling outage can push a store into the red for the month, and 23% of shoppers will choose a different store the next time they find empty cases.[4] Reactive maintenance doesn't just cost more — it guarantees the failures will keep coming. Predictive maintenance changes the equation entirely.

You Can't Fix Everything. But You Need to Know What Can't Wait.

The HVAC and refrigeration industry is short roughly 110,000 qualified technicians, and more than half the current workforce is over 45.[5] Facilities teams are already losing more than 100 employee hours per store per year to alarm noise and reactive disruptions — before accounting for emergency service costs of $6,000–$13,000 per store annually.[3] Without a clear signal for what's urgent versus what can wait, even well-run teams triage by instinct and miss the equipment quietly heading toward a six-figure breakdown.

"Because of predictive insights from Axiom, we decided to perform subcooler maintenance rather than adding thousands of pounds of refrigerant as our maintenance provider recommended. This single event saved us more than the annual costs of Axiom’s apps. Axiom’s AI enables us to more intelligently maintain our refrigeration assets, increase uptime, and save money month after month. We look forward to deploying Axiom’s apps in additional HelloFresh facilities throughout North America."

HOW IT WORKS

From Millions of Data Streams to the ONE Most Important Action

Axiom doesn't hand you more data to manage. It walks with you from raw signal to resolved work order — every month.

1

Collect & Surface

Your controllers already generate hundreds of live data streams per site. Today, most of it never leaves the facility — overwritten in as little as 72 hours before anyone looks at it. Axiom connects remotely to your existing controllers, pulls every data stream to the cloud, and cleans, labels, and normalizes it in real time. No new hardware. No site visits. Just the signal that was already there, finally being used to predict failures before they happen.

200,000+ live data streams · predict failures before they happen

Diagnose & Prioritize

AI and US-based refrigeration specialists work together to identify the problems and opportunities buried in your data — roughly 100 per month across a 500-store portfolio. Each one is packaged into a predictive anomaly: plain-English description, root cause, exact location in the facility, a data snapshot, step-by-step fix instructions, urgency level, and the financial cost of leaving it unaddressed. Then Axiom triages the full list — filtering out low-priority items, resolving issues remotely where possible, and batching the rest into prioritized service calls. The output: if you only have time and budget for one thing today, here it is.

~100 predictive anomalies per month

Resolve & Close the Loop

Most software stops at the work order. Axiom doesn't. Our US-based refrigeration specialists — with 20+ years of experience in the field as refrigeration technicians — support maintenance managers, service managers, and technicians every step of the way. Then Axiom tracks resolution against live data — not technician notes — so you know what was actually fixed, what got a band-aid, and what still needs attention. Every month, outcomes are quantified: service calls avoided, costs saved, equipment lifespan extended. Not a to-do list. Measurable results.

CAPABILITIES

Everything You Need to Get Ahead of Failure

From compressor floodback to condenser fouling, case temperature drift to defrost failure — Axiom's AI detects the signal, a specialist confirms the diagnosis, and your team gets a detailed work order that's ready to act on.

Compressor Health Scoring

Every compressor in your portfolio gets a live health score derived from pressure ratios, discharge temperature, floodback risk, runtime ratios, and other data streams — compared to each unit's own historical baseline — giving you a predictive window into which units are at risk. Scores update continuously, so gradual drift is visible weeks or months before any threshold alarms are triggered. The units most likely to fail next always get priority.

CMMS & Work Order Integration

Push alerts and work orders directly to
ServiceChannel, FieldConnect, Corrigo, or your
existing CMMS. Eliminates manual re-entry and keeps service history in one place.

Condenser Fouling Detection

Fouled condensers drive up head pressure, reduce
efficiency, and accelerate compressor wear. Axiom detects fouling trends and recommends cleaning before efficiency loss compounds.

Failure Probability Scoring

Each at-risk unit receives a probability estimate so you can prioritize PM budget and dispatch order. High-probability units are escalated automatically before scores peak.

AI-Generated Fix Instructions

Each alert includes a plain-language diagnosis and step-by-step fix recommendation — reducing truck rolls, shortening repair time, and ensuring the right tech arrives with the right parts.

Equipment Service History

Every repair, cleaning, and sensor check is logged against each asset — building a service history that informs future diagnostics and supports warranty, insurance, and vendor conversations.

PREDICTIVE DIAGNOSTICS

Catch Degradation While There's Still
Time to Plan

Traditional alarm thresholds are set at the edge of failure — by then, you're
already in reactive mode. Axiom's multi-signal analysis detects the early-stage
patterns that precede failure: gradual suction pressure drift, rising discharge
temperatures, increasing runtime-per-cycle ratios, and subcooling loss.

LIVE DEMO

Watch How Axiom Works — From 200,000 Data Streams to One Prioritized Service Call

A real walkthrough of how Axiom serves a 500-site grocery portfolio every month — from data collection to prioritized dispatch to validated outcomes.

  1.  200,000+ live data streams collected from existing controllers — cleaned, labeled, and normalized in real time. Data that was previously overwritten in 72 hours is now a continuous intelligence layer. No new hardware, no site visits.

  2. AI and US-based refrigeration specialists surface ~100 predictive anomalies hidden in the data — each packaged with root cause, exact location, financial cost of inaction, and step-by-step fix instructions.

  3. Axiom triages: 20–40 low-priority items filtered out, 10–30 issues resolved remotely without a truck roll. The remainder are batched into ~15 prioritized in-person service calls. Your ONE most important action today is always clear.

  4. Every outcome validated against live data — not technician notes. Service calls avoided, costs saved, and equipment lifespan extended are quantified and reported at the end of every month.
