Targeted energy cost reduction with immediate results?

Do you manage a cold storage or freezer facility and are constantly looking for improvements in energy efficiency and sustainability? Do you want to build more resilience in times of fluctuating energy prices? We offer an effective tool to regain control over your energy costs.

Future Crops

Flexible benefit

High energy costs play a crucial role in cold storage facilities, which is no surprise since energy accounts for a significant portion of total expenses.

You want to do everything possible to reduce energy costs, but how do you determine the most effective approach?

Most cold storage facilities have a significant overcapacity in cooling power that is not always fully utilized. This is known as flexible capacity.

Flexible capacity can be used not only to reduce energy costs but also to help balance the electricity grid. This allows your cold storage facility to generate additional revenue without disrupting business operations.

Realtime assistant

To make this possible, a connection between business processes and the energy market is essential. That’s why we offer a fully integrated software solution called FLEKSS – FLExible Kilowatthour Saving Software.

FLEKSS is designed for cold storage facilities that want to leverage the available flexibility in their freezers. With FLEKSS, you can adjust electricity consumption in real time based on electricity market prices and the current temperature of stored goods. The system predicts market prices and optimizes operational processes accordingly.

Cold storage facilities can utilize their excess cooling capacity as a thermal battery by freezing more intensively when market prices are favorable and reducing or pausing cooling during peak hours.

FLEKSS is a great match if you:

Want to maximize the flexibility of your cold storage facility.
Want to use less energy with the same equipment.
Want to take advantage of the constantly evolving energy market.
Want to reduce business costs to gain a competitive advantage.
Want to avoid unnecessary risks while ensuring quality and food safety.
And value sustainability.

This is what you can expect from FLEKSS:

This system ensures that your equipment operates with higher efficiency by optimizing the frequency and timing of defrost processes, considering time-dependent cooling efficiency, and fine-tuning settings. This way, you reduce costs and can apply the most favorable electricity procurement strategy.

This is what FLEKSS delivers concretely:

Reducing energy consumption and lowering electricity costs by up to 15%.
Achieving a 20% energy reduction through a favorable procurement strategy.
Together, these savings can result in up to 35% reduction in energy costs.

Gecontroleerd innoveren met
een plan

Waarom is innoveren belangrijk? Er zijn verschillende redenen waarom je als bedrijf wil innoveren. In de agrifood-sector wordt technologische innovatie gezien als een must. Deze sector heeft te maken met bepaalde uitdagingen: de snel groeiende vraag naar voeding, arbeidstekorten en de steeds veranderende consumentenvraag.

Een innovatiestrategie kan bijvoorbeeld toegepast worden voor procesoptimalisatie, productontwikkeling, toetsen van een nieuw idee of het verhogen van het concurrentievoordeel.

Wat levert gecontroleerd innoveren op:

Je heb inzicht in álle kansen voor mogelijke innovaties en je bent je bewust van de uitdagingen en risico’s
Je hebt de kern van het probleem helder en je doet niet aan symptoombestrijding
Je hebt inzicht in alle van tevoren getoetste oplossingen
Je weet precies welke stappen je moet doorlopen per oplossing
Je doet alleen nog maar voorspelbare en controleerbare investeringen die je gefaseerd uitvoert

Met elk vraagstuk kun je gecontroleerd innoveren. Hoe complex het ook is. Stel je hebt hier maar één effectieve dag voor nodig en binnen vier weken heb je controle en zicht op het totale innovatieproces. Zou je dat dan overwegen?

Smart tool with clear results

FLEKSS is more than just a visualization tool — it’s a solution that provides advanced control, understands your data, and leverages it in the energy market. And importantly, FLEKSS is compatible with all cold storage facilities. Together, we integrate the tool into your business for optimal use.
