Cold chains, loading doors, conveyor systems and charging infrastructure for industrial trucks – in 24/7 logistics operations, energy costs accumulate around the clock. Alligator Analytica monitors all consumers automatically, detects peak loads and raises an immediate alarm whenever the cold chain is at risk.
In temperature-controlled logistics centres, refrigeration technology accounts for up to 70 % of electricity consumption. Loading doors and conveyor systems add to the bill as often-overlooked cost drivers.
Figures from projects in logistics centres with 10,000–80,000 m² of warehouse space, temperature-controlled areas and multi-shift operations.
Unlike other sectors, in logistics the demand charge is often a greater lever than the energy unit price. Short peak loads caused by the simultaneous start-up of compressors, conveyor systems and charging infrastructure determine the monthly demand charge – active load management can significantly reduce this component.
28,000 m² deep-freeze warehouse, 3-shift operation, 8.4 million kWh annual consumption – 68 % attributable to refrigeration. No digital instrumentation for refrigeration units, only manual temperature logs. Objective: cost reduction + ISO 50001.
