Danfoss has introduced a new family of controllers, Advanced Control Edge (ACE), which combines hardware, software, and user tools into a single ecosystem. The first solution in this line is the compact AK-EC Lite controller, part of the ADAP-KOOL family, designed for monitoring, controlling, and optimizing the operation of refrigeration equipment and air conditioning and ventilation systems.
The new product is aimed at small foodservice businesses, including:
- quick-service restaurants
- canteens
- cafes
- bakeries
With a single controller, users get a complete overview of all connected devices, enabling faster response to abnormal situations and simplifying day-to-day equipment operation.
AK-EC Lite combines a hardware controller and an integrated user interface in one device. With it, you can:
- connect equipment
- track operating metrics
- manage alarms 🚨
- analyze trends
- configure settings without the need for additional tools
The controller supports:
- connection of up to 15 devices
- storage of 150 logs of historical data
It also provides:
- secure remote access 🔒
- flexible reporting tools
- user management
These capabilities help reduce the number of site visits and improve the operating efficiency of the systems.
