Driving efficiency in the market
We appreciate the benefit that bringing data analysis into a business can bring to operational efficiency , and Icelandic Seafood International ( ISI ) is one example of a business using digital to drive efficiencies on the production line .
Working with ISI , we installed Air Products Smart Technology ( APST ) onto its cryogenic freezers , resulting in an immediate improvement to both the efficiency and productivity of production lines , and liquid nitrogen savings .
As a supplier of North Atlantic seafood , ISI required a system that could act in response to growing product demand , with items ramped up , or scaled down , dependent on customer requirements . It was also an opportunity to improve the efficiency of its freezing capabilities and switch to more advanced technologies . Having the option of adding data management into its operating system meant that business decisions could be supported by real-time information on product efficiency .
New technologies , such as APST , use diagnostic sensors and wireless communications technology to monitor and control freezing operations . The smart technology tracks key process parameters
