Retrofit Installation
Increase energy cost savings and ensure employee safety while
providing central level remote system management from the
corporate office.
Installation of an HAI Omni Commercial Controller-based system
for integration of safety and security with temperature monitor and
control capability along with motion, door, and window sensors.
An Omnistat2 thermostat is used to maximize energy savings in each the lobby and
the food preparation area. This allows full control of the energy consumption of
the heating/cooling system. If a customer complains of a temperature issue, the
thermostat can be adjusted and then will automatically be set back to a preset point
after a certain duration. This allows for happy customers and ensures a thermostat
is not set to a heating/cooling point for an extended period of time. Thermostats
are also automatically set to certain heat/cool points when the security is armed/
disarmed to save energy when the store is not occupied.
HAI’s UPB switches are used to power outdoor signage and drive-thru menu boards.
Before switching to HAI for outdoor lighting, each store was required to implement
a lighting timer to turn signage on and off. This required manual adjustments when
the season changes or if the hours of a store for a particular day are different
than normal. The controller now automatically adjusts for these scenarios. Lights
activate when the sun sets or automatically shut off if the security system is armed
early. If the store is closed for a holiday, the lights remain off, thus saving money.
Temperature sensors are strategically placed in the walk-in cooler and freezer
to send pre-notifications in the event a malfunction is detected by a rise in
temperature. This saves precious time and thousands of dollars of potentially
wasted inventory.
The owner has stores that range throughout a 60 mile radius, thus traveling to each
one to manage these systems had become a very expensive and time-consuming
process. This is where the Dealer PC Access software came in. The owner can now
make changes to temperature settings, add or remove user codes to any system,
and update a lighting plan when needed. All of this can be done from the comfort
of his corporate office, without ever driving a mile.
