See where your refrigeration systems are costing you money unnecessarily.

An AI agent continuously monitors your refrigeration and retail technology. It connects your energy data with system data and generates prioritized measures, with clear savings potential per location. No modifications, no investment.

The Situation

Your EMS collects data every day.
No one analyzes it.

No clear view:
You know your consumption, but you have no clear view of where it is wasted.Anomalies, peak loads and slow rises in usage only surface on your next bill.

Hidden levers:
In one supermarket chain we made significant annual savings potential visible. It came from measures that were buried in the data before.
Stretched teams:
Existing teams are often at full capacity, and qualified energy staff are hard to find.So the work stops at monitoring, instead of moving to real management.
This is what it looks like for a grocery network

Three patterns hidden in almost every store network.

What Gridty detects, and the leverage your team gains from it.

Problem
Analysis
Typical Causes
Action & Impact
Refrigeration system runs at daytime levels at night
Increased electricity consumption between 11 PM and 6 AM, higher than predicted
Night setback not active. HVAC continues to run after store closing. Systems are working against each other.
Significant cost savings potential per store

Activate night setback, prioritize maintenance order

Refrigeration units run inefficiently, increasing risk of failure
Unusually high consumption of individual units compared to normal operation
System iced up. Incorrect parameters after maintenance. Defective components like fans or sensors.
Energy plus risk of product spoilage

Dispatch technicians with a specific fault hypothesis

Creeping excess consumption after maintenance
Baseline consumption gradually increased after maintenance events, with the same pattern observed at other locations with the same system type
Parameter error not documented. Setpoint temperature changed. No before-and-after comparison.
Recurring cost driver across the network

A clear picture per location

Several hundred locations, analyzed in 4 to 8 weeks. The annual savings potential is quantified and documented per location and per measure. Everything runs on existing metering infrastructure, completely without new hardware. We validate the exact magnitude together in a pilot. In Euros, not in promises.

How Gridty works

Detects the problem. Finds the cause. Delivers the solution.

Traditional systems stop at the alarm. Gridty takes it all the way to the solution.

Excess consumption detected
Detector AI Insights ✨

Root Cause: Refrigeration system in the Cologne-South branch continues to run at daytime levels at night – approximately 9,000 kWh and about €2,700 in additional costs per year, at this location alone.

Model Confidence 66%

Recommended Action: Activate night setback in the refrigeration control unit, link the timer to actual opening hours, and close the night blinds of the refrigerated display cases. No investment required, completed by your own team in one shift.

1

Identify

Hidden excess consumption becomes visible across your entire portfolio. In real-time, instead of only on the bill.

2

Diagnose

The Detector identifies the most probable root cause with model confidence and suggests specific actions, from night setback to addressing an iced-up refrigerated display case.

3

Act

Your team receives the prioritized next step: which location, which action, which cost-saving lever.

What Your Team Specifically Gets

Three levers, sorted by Euros, not by gut feeling.

Location Overview at a Glance
You always see which locations are currently experiencing cooling anomalies and which offer the greatest cost-saving potential.
Prioritized Cooling Levers
Night setback, icing, parameter drift after maintenance, peak loads. Sorted by savings in Euros, per equipment type and location.
Audit-Ready and Product Protection
ISO 50001, EN 16247, CSRD. Your energy data for compliance is always available. And detecting cooling anomalies early not only saves electricity but also protects your goods.
Also for Bakeries and Convenience Stores

Same principle, different equipment.

Bakery and Baking Operations

Ovens, proofers, and refrigerators operate within tight timeframes with high peak loads. Gridty detects preheating waste, ovens running in parallel, and cooling inefficiencies, distinguishing genuine production needs from avoidable excess consumption.

Convenience and Gas Station Shop

Freezers, hot counters, and air conditioning operate 24/7, often within franchise structures where no one centrally compares the performance of different locations. Gridty performs precisely this comparison: identifying which shop deviates, why, and what the corrective action achieves.

Voices from the food retail industry
„Our refrigeration system consumed 30–40,000 kWh too much electricity. No one noticed for a whole year.“

Here's what the next steps look like

First results in 4 to 8 weeks, no obligation.

Phase 1

Connection to your meters, your EMS, or other energy data systems.
