How Much Space, Energy and CO₂ Could You Eliminate?

The client’s cold storage infrastructure consisted of multiple upright ULT freezers spread across several rooms.

This fragmented setup introduced significant operational and capacity limitations, including:

• Excessive floorspace usage
• High cumulative energy consumption (driving up operating costs)
• High CO₂ emissions
• Complex, decentralized workflows, requiring staff to handle and monitor equipment across multiple locations
• No scalable path forward, as adding capacity would require expanding the facility footprint

The decentralized layout not only increased day-to-day operational complexity but also made future growth and optimization nearly impossible under the existing configuration.

The analysis showed that the large-scale solution delivered substantial improvements across all measured parameters:

• 75% reduction in physical footprint

• 66% reduction in energy consumption

• 73% reduction in CO₂ emissions

• 76% lower total cost of ownership over product lifetime

The reduction in floorspace enabled the facility to reorganize and expand production capacity, while the lower operating load contributed to long-term cost and sustainability gains.

The shift from multiple upright freezers to a consolidated large-scale system provided a more efficient, scalable and operationally streamlined cold storage infrastructure.
