Without transformation, efficiency monitoring, and automation, it is impossible to achieve lasting business success in retail - especially in light of rising energy costs. That is why EuroShop is dedicating four halls to two of the industry's most important topics for the future: energy and sustainability. Here, international exhibitors will demonstrate how innovative technologies and smart systems can have a direct impact on the average energy costs of stores.

The topics range from cabinets & coolers, systems & technology, automation, and air conditioning to modern engineering - all in the service of a central challenge of our time: sustainability.

Benefit from refrigeration and energy management that sets new standards.

Energy and sustainability – these two topics are inextricably linked. And they are definitely indispensable for future-proof business concepts. This involves specific tasks:

Intelligent building management and expansion of electromobility. Cooling and heating of stores. Monitoring and control systems for everything related to energy in the company.

Other important topics for the future include high-performance refrigeration units, reliable cooling systems, and indoor farming facilities.

Energy efficiency and smart cooling: strategies for the retail sector of the future

Modern refrigeration systems with natural refrigerants and precise control ensure optimal product quality, a pleasant indoor climate, and thus a better shopping experience.

Digital monitoring and control systems analyze energy flows in real time, identify inefficiencies, and permanently reduce energy costs—a clear advantage in times of rising prices and sustainability goals.

Smart, automated systems connect stores, optimize maintenance, and reduce emissions. This makes energy efficiency the key to resource-efficient, sustainable retail.

REFRIGERATION & ENERGY MANAGEMENT AT EUROSHOP: IMPRESSIONS AND INSIGHTS

Automation in building management, monitoring energy consumption in stationary stores, refrigeration technology in the food trade: the exhibitors at Dimension Refrigeration & Energy Management cover many important future topics. We have captured some highlights and insights in our video coverage.

To the reporting

Refrigeration & energy management for exactly the right temperature

Cooling, heating, refrigeration, air conditioning – innovations are helping to make these tasks more efficient and economical. Monitoring the energy consumption of these systems is therefore particularly important.

Energy management in refrigeration and facility management

There is great potential for energy savings in cooling, heating, refrigeration and other business operations. So it's a good thing that suppliers are developing solutions and innovations that monitor and minimize energy consumption.

Micro fulfillment center for grocery – multi-temperature storage

The demand for shopping convenience, 24/7 availability of groceries and fast delivery is on the rise. As a result, micro fulfillment centers have received a decent boost. Tom Walther from Hörmann Intralogistics knows all about that.
