Remote monitoring

Star Refrigeration has enhanced its remote monitoring solution for users of industrial cooling plant in the cold storage and distribution industry.

Star Diagnostic Solutions (SDS) is an off-site service designed for all operators of refrigeration plant.

The SDS service now features enhanced data collection and ongoing plant performance reporting as standard. It also monitors critical oil/refrigerant levels and equipment operation. The service works via a broadband connection, sending data from the cooling plant's computerised control system to Star's data collection centre. Operations director John Fraser says: "With 24/7 monitoring, fast emergency response and full data analysis, SDS is designed to improve plant reliability and safety, boost efficiency, reduce engineering site visits and cut maintenance and running costs."
