Innovation at EuroShop 2020: BITZER relies on IoT technology

The BITZER Digital Network (BDN) is a cloud-based online platform with which BITZER helps its customers to master the challenges of digitalization. It offers comprehensive compressor information and analyses based on real-time data and BITZER’s refrigeration know-how earned in decades. With the first-time integration into the cloud of a major provider, BITZER proves the cloud-to-cloud capability of its BDN. This solution is precisely tailored to the requirements of large supermarket chains with integrated systems. Using the BDN, they can monitor refrigeration systems as a whole as well as individual components. This makes it much easier and faster to find errors.

Integrated in large retail platform
A new feature is the integration of the BDN in a large retail platform. The provider has developed the cloud specifically for the retail industry. The aim is to exploit the full potential of the Internet of Things in retail and avoid silo solutions. The provider is one of the leading providers of solutions around the Internet of Things.

BITZER customers will find valuable digital services such as online monitoring, compressor operation report and immediate help with troubleshooting in the BDN. The basis for this are the IT infrastructure, the know-how and the IQ products of BITZER. In combination with targeted data analysis, this results in a solution that is new on the market and makes it easier for BITZER customers and partners to set up their own digital service infrastructure.
