Question 1

The challenge

Accepted Answer

Maintaining comfortable, consistent conditions across warehousefacilities can be challenging, particularly during seasonal temperature and humidity changes. The customer needed a more robust approach to monitoring conditions throughout its facilities while supporting associate comfort, safety and maintenance uptime.

A third-party monitoring system lacked the consistency and integration needed to provide a clear view of site conditions and proactive measures for resolution. The customer wanted a solution that could continuously monitor temperature and humidity, identify developing issues and provide actionable information before conditions became a larger operational concern.

With multiple sites requiring seasonal cooling and dehumidification, the solution also needed to be easy for field teams to deploy without disrupting warehouse operations.

Question 2

The solution

Accepted Answer

Aggreko developed a turnkey approach combining approximately 600 tons of cooling and dehumidification per site with newly developed ARM Site Monitoring capabilities.

Discrete wireless sensors were strategically deployed throughout facilities to continuously capture temperature, humidity, and other, customizable site conditions, with communication ranges of up to 1.5 miles in open air. Water monitoring was also incorporated, allowing liquid detection alarms to identify potential leaks in AHUs before they could escalate.

Data from every sensor was fed to Aggreko data scientists located at our Remote Operations Center (ROC) around the clock. Paired with Aggreko Remote Monitoring (ARM), and with a single, centralized view in Aggreko Connect, the customer and Aggreko engineers maintained full visibility into conditions. By using customized alarm thresholds all parties were able to view automated cooling and dehumidification in real-time and monitor success.

Question 3

The impact

Accepted Answer

The integrated approach improved consistency across the program while giving the customer a centralized, actionable view of site conditions. Associates experienced improved comfort, while reduced moisture levels supported a safer working environment.

The customer also saw reduced maintenance needs and less equipment rotation, helping field teams manage seasonal cooling more effectively.

The value of proactive monitoring became particularly clear when water monitoring proactively detected an air handler leak at a facility. The system alerted the team before water could overtake the containment area, enabling immediate action.

With the ROC continuously monitoring conditions and responding to alerts, Aggreko provided an additional layer of expertise around the customer’s critical operations. Historical site data was also retained in Aggreko Connect, creating a foundation for better planning and more informed decisions on future projects.
