The perks of an Energy Management System all
add up to savings
EcoView gives busy franchise owners centralized visibility
into multiple restaurant locations and automated
comparison data on each facility’s performance. This helps
curtail energy usage, lower energy bills, and remotely
monitor key equipment. Franchise owners also are relying
on EcoView to improve their operations and brand.
From an operations point of view, many restaurants have
multiple coffee makers, hot plates, and ovens at each
location. It isn’t necessary for all to run throughout the
whole day. EcoView automates the scheduling and timing of
load-consuming equipment based on the needs of each
store. An owner can also remotely double-check that
equipment is shut down, adding additional peace-of-mind.
Restaurant owners are reliant on their mechanical systems
to help them deliver great food and friendly service in a
comfortable place that guests will want to frequent. Food
safety and maintaining product at a certain temperature is a
top industry concern. EcoView enables 24/7 monitoring of
critical equipment such as refrigerators and freezers to
ensure they remain at safe food temperatures.
EcoView’s versatility enables alerts on temperature rise,
providing key details that allow an owner to diagnose a
situation, such as what location, how long a temperature
has been above a setpoint. Emails are sent to the owner
when a set point goes out of range. Providing this type of
information helps determine actual equipment failure and
reduces the possibility for human error with concrete data.
“One of the biggest benefits of EcoView is
to be able to go online to review systems
and runtimes… some overnights are on a
relay system and draw a lot of power.
With remote monitoring, an owner can
shut those systems down and save on
energy consumption,” noted Ron.
Wireless connectivity
Siemens wireless technology has proven to be an efficient
solution that can be integrated with little disruption to daily
operations, which is critical for a busy restaurant chain that
delivers top-notch customer service. Wireless thermostats
for Rooftop Units (RTUs) communicate changing
temperatures and energy loads. This ensures guests and
employees are enjoying an optimum environment.
Wireless technology makes EcoView a cost-effective
solution: Wireless equipment and drop in thermostats
minimize restaurant downtime and service disruptions and
reduce construction costs by eliminating time and material
associated with running cable.
Anywhere accessibility
Running a successful business requires a great amount of
dedication, direct supervision, and long hours. With
EcoView, the franchisee can use a laptop, smartphone, or
