We ensure a fail-safe performance of your cold storage facility and increase its energy efficiency
Do you want to reduce electricity costs for your cold storage? Do you want to reliably prevent icing-related malfunctions and failures of your refrigeration system? Then we have the right solution for you!
System solution consisting of sensors and AI
Key figures on energy and CO2 savings, temperature stability, etc.
Artificial intelligence on board
Thanks to modern algorithms and artificial intelligence, our system also evaluates irregularly incoming goods, moisture input, door movements and other environmental factors to further optimize the defrosting of the cold room.
Also possible: coupling defrosting with other energy generators to save even more electricity.

Our approach step by step
Hidden Item
Step 1: Getting to know you
Step 2: Consumption analysis, project planning and presentation
As a follow-up, we analyze the refrigeration technology installed in your plant. In doing so, we consider the following questions, among others:
- How many heat exchangers with which cooling capacity are installed?
- How often are they defrosted and which defrosting technology is used (electric, hot gas, circulating air, etc.)?
- Which compressors are installed and how often are they used?
- Which electricity tariff do you have? How high is the electricity consumption?
- What kind of technology package can Coldsense contribute in order to reduce energy consumption?
- What savings can Coldsense actually achieve in a specific case?
- Business analysis: costs vs savings, payback period and funding opportunities
We present the results of the analysis on-site at your company.
Step 3: Implementation
Then we deliver the technical package. The installation of the technical components is carried out by your plant engineer, your own team or, if you wish, by Coldsense. We then perform on-site commissioning. This includes, among other things, the testing of the installed sensors, the installation of the control technology and AI software, as well as functional tests.
Step 4: Further support: the learning phase and monthly reporting.
You receive monthly reports documenting your savings from Coldsense technology. Upon customer request, we can extend our service package with extensive additional services, such as:

What our customers say
With the deployment of Coldsense Technologies’ intelligent defrosting system in Mensa I, which we operate at TU Braunschweig, we have taken a big step forward in this regard. The data from the door movements of our cold room has helped us to better understand and optimize our operations. As a result, we have been able to reduce energy consumption in the cold rooms by 16%.
Sabine Herrmann
Saving money while doing good for the climate: with the help of Coldsense, we were able to reduce the energy consumption of our defrosting system by a third.
Viktor Feder
Cold storage and icing have occupied the refrigeration industry for many decades. The technology and the people at Coldsense have excited me from the beginning. The innovations created here will sustainably improve the operation of cold stores
Daniel Hattenbach
Energy is expensive and energy efficiency is becoming a survival criterion for many companies. Coldsense delivers great added value for cold stores with intelligent defrosting. A crucial building block for successful energy consulting in food and pharmaceutical logistics.
Michael Maschkowitz
We are very satisfied with Coldsense’s services and are happy to recommend the company. I would like to thank the team for the excellent cooperation, which we intend to continue in the future if necessary.
