Solution Benefits
Eliminate Refrigerated Warehouses
Phononic’s solution eliminates the need for such large-scale refrigeration infrastructure by utilizing ACS Freezer and Refrigerator totes. This solution allows for flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient operations by keeping goods at optimal temperatures directly in the totes rather than cooling entire rooms or buildings
Automated For Major Efficiency
Our ACS Ecosystem seamlessly integrates with automated storage and order retrieval systems. By mechanizing and consolidating processes like tote-to-person picking, the solution drastically reduces the need for human intervention, effectively cutting labor costs, improving accuracy and throughput, and unlocking new levels of scalability as demand increases.
Protect Cold Chain Integrity
Legacy solutions often struggle with real-time visibility into their cold chain operations. Phononic's ACS Growth Accelerator solution, when leveraged in combination with Phononic's ACS totes or reference designs, offers real-time data monitoring of tote operating conditions and cold chain compliance, ensuring that products stay at optimal temperatures from storage through fulfillment. Continuous data readouts provide the opportunity for operational optimization, minimizing energy usage and ensuring food or product safety.
Phononic ACS Ecosystem Solution
ACS GROWTH ACCELERATOR
Our ACS Growth Accelerator platform provides real-time, ongoing data monitoring of system operations to help to optimize energy costs, ensure temperature compliance and enable totes to operate at peak performance. More than 50 points of telemetry are uploaded to the Phononic cloud real-time, and are available either via API or the ACS Growth Accelerator Dashboard, whichever route is preferable for your operations. In addition, proactive email alerts can be configured to help you ensure that ideal temperatures are maintained, eliminating food waste and safety concerns.
ACS TOTES & REFERENCE DESIGN
ACS Totes are tailor-made to support automation and robotics operations, providing easy integration into existing systems, tri-temp capabilities for order staging and inventory storage, a large internal capacity and out-of-the-box ease of use – with no need for constant updating. For specific reference design needs, it’s easy to collaborate with Phononic to design a custom tote form factor that fits within your system.
