Over the last few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly entrenched in our society. From health care to social media to banking, virtually no areas of our lives is untouched by AI. As can be expected, AI is also coming to the commercial refrigeration market, albeit a little more slowly than in other industries.
One reason why it is more difficult to implement AI in commercial refrigeration is that many food retailers already have some type of control system in place. The numerous vendors in that space all collect and process data differently, so it would be challenging to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data. Not to mention that many of these systems are proprietary, and vendors may not be willing to share their data with others.
