Controlling next generation
retail operations
NAVIGATING ANZ’S RETAIL industry means taking a closer look at operations on a store level. Management of facilities ranging from super- markets to convenience stores requires peak performance and the seamless harmony of sys-
tems at all times.
This involves simplifying any operational
complexities while having top-down visibility of the store’s refrigeration, HVAC and lighting controls.
After all, the customer experience happens within these facilities and any system failure directly affects the consumer’s purchasing decision.
With a five per cent CADR growth expected to happen in Australia alone in the next five years, the question looms ahead. What’s next for ANZ’s retail industry?
Emerson’s next generation facility manage- ment and controls, the E3 Supervisory Control helps drive profits and maximise operational efficiencies for the food retail customers.
It helps achieve a wide range of operational goals including optimal performance for mis- sion-critical refrigeration, HVAC, and lighting systems.
After building over 150,000 facility manage- ment applications globally, the E3 serves as Emerson’s product of decades-long innovation and collaboration with customers.
But what competitive edge does the E3 offer for the retail landscape?
Comprehensive, supervisory control of retail operations entails three core measures: visual store management, robust control capabilities, and a true drop-in replacement.
Specifically designed for CO2 applications, the E3 provides instant visibility to key systems in-
store with remote access and automated alerts. The E3 simplifies system complexities with its advanced control solution for lower-GWP
refrigeration systems:
• Proper and efficient visualisation of system
operation via one application
• Ability to customise all required system val-
ues in one view
• Reduce complexity by converting multiple
applications into one
• A single application to manage a transcritical
rack system with alarming, safety operation
and system control
• Faster startup through simplified one-time
setup and constant tuning of parameters
Lastly, as a flexible, open architecture, the E3 has a simple installation designed to fit existing panels from the older E2 model.
All of these functionalities are designed to cre- ate a user-friendly, mobile-ready experience for facility operators, store managers, and service technicians with varying skill levels and empower them to make agile, data-driven decisions.
Delivering a more seamless user experience in retail operations is just the beginning of inno- vating ANZ’s food retail ecosystem.

“THE FUTURE OF RETAIL DEMANDS A MORE SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN.”
As more Australians become value-driven consumers, they resonate more with brands that reflect environmental, social and govern- ance (ESG) issues close to them.
This dynamic shift in consumer behaviour compels businesses to create a leaner value chain including the latest trend in adopting natural refrigerants for ANZ commercial refrig- eration. More than ever, ESG advocacies are becoming more critical in building B2B partner- ships and authentic customer relationships.
Sustainability and climate action are part of Emerson’s DNA in creating a net zero world by 2045. Transitioning towards greener technolo- gies to reduce carbon footprint and global warming potential involves utilising natural resources like CO2 and injecting them into newer climate technologies seen in the E3.
The future of ANZ retail demands a more sustainable supply chain and in response, Emerson’s E3 Supervisory Control is a pioneer of the next generation facility management in ANZ and the rest of the world.
