KE2 EdgeManager: Advanced Refrigeration Monitoring
KE2 Therm Solutions
Introduction
The KE2 Edge Manager is an advanced communication device that automatically discovers and dashboards up to 35 KE2 Therm controllers and KE2 Wireless Sensors. It offers a unique, common dashboard integrating KE2 sensor data with in-depth system operational information from KE2 Therm controllers.
The KE2 Edge Manager provides real-time data tracking, storing, and uploading. Unlike many monitoring options that require cloud storage, the KE2 Edge Manager offers FREE local access, allowing users to own their data. Accessing data is made easy via local network, a personal "cloud" portal, or the secure KE2 Portal.
Applications
The KE2 Edge Manager, combined with KE2 Wireless Sensor technology, enables remote monitoring and alarm notifications for a wide range of refrigeration applications, including:
- Walk-ins
- Reach-ins
- Under Counter units
- Cold Rails
- Commercial Fridges
- Warehouses
It is suitable for applications ranging from warehouses to walk-ins, reach-ins, cold rails, and under-counter units.
