About Alsense for refrigeration alarm management

Refrigeration event records help retail service teams prioritize work across stores and assets. Danfoss combines controller inputs with AlarmHub, the event-management function in Alsense. The application captures alarms across the retail estate, tracks resolution and brings locations needing attention into a central service workflow.

Store controllers communicate with the Microsoft Azure cloud service through a stable two-way link. A VPN provides the recommended connection arrangement. Alarm records carry the relevant asset and location context into the platform. Notifications follow the retailer’s configured process needs. Dashboards present active alarms, alerts sent and location maps, while controller-connectivity records provide context for the monitored store’s reporting status.

Service teams examine priorities and identify stores or assets with unusual alarm activity. Resolution tracking lets managers review response performance and the relationship with service providers or contractors. The retailer uses the digital tools directly or adds managed monitoring services for event review and technician dispatch. These event records and service functions support the operating team’s alarm response and follow-up planning across its connected refrigeration estate.
