Sir, considering this is an exhibition focused on the refrigeration and cold chain industry, Testo specializes in offering testing and measurement solutions across various industrial sectors. Could you please elaborate on the specific solutions you have for this industry?
According to our prime minister, India aims to become a major global food provider in the near future. To achieve this, there is a growing need for substantial cold chain storage and refrigeration infrastructure. The refrigeration industry is expected to experience a steady annual growth of 10 to 15%. This growth will necessitate heightened maintenance efforts, particularly in regulating temperature and humidity to ensure proper storage of perishable goods. The ongoing development of infrastructure is geared towards facilitating efficient and timely distribution of food, both domestically and for exports. Our role involves assisting individuals and businesses in effectively measuring, monitoring, and controlling their systems to ensure their operational integrity.
Can you provide more information about the specific technologies or equipment you offer for this segment?
Every refrigeration system relies on its compressors, which require regular maintenance and monitoring. To streamline this process, we offer smart electronic manifolds that generate direct reports through your app. These reports facilitate prompt identification and resolution of issues, enabling faster problem-solving. Additionally, we address the challenge of leakages by providing electronic sensors for efficient tracing and measurement, enhancing on-site operations.
Our focus also extends to monitoring electrical parameters, as improper documentation and measurement of these parameters can lead to financial losses, especially considering the long operational hours of compressors. Lastly, for effective cold chain monitoring, we offer comprehensive solutions, including data loggers and cloud-based systems that ensure proper data storage and accessibility, safeguarding your investments.
At Refcold, we specialize in providing tailored solutions for all these critical aspects. We invite you to visit us and explore our range of offerings, as we are committed to delivering the most effective solutions for your needs.
Can you provide details about the solutions you offer and the notable products showcased in your exhibit?
Starting from the chiller or compressor end, proper charging of the compressor is essential. We offer automated weighing scales that ensure accurate charging of your system. Subsequently, our electronic manifolds help you monitor the pressures and temperatures, ensuring efficient system performance.
In cases of leakages, we provide digital and smart vacuum gauges to facilitate thorough vacuuming and generate comprehensive reports. Our 770 devices are designed to connect to your smart app, enabling on-site measurement and reporting of electrical parameters, including current, voltage, and power consumption.
Moving on, our 440 CFM meters help assess air circulation and flow within the system, crucial for maintaining desired temperatures. Additionally, our cloud-based data monitoring system, featuring advanced data loggers, enables remote programming and real-time data access. This allows you to conveniently monitor the condition of your goods from anywhere with an internet connection, ensuring their optimal preservation.
Who are your end users within the cold chain spectrum?
Ferrero Rocher, PepsiCo, and pharmaceutical companies like Medibus Pharma, working with Biocon Pharma, are some of our prominent customers. Testo is widely used in the potato pole storages of PepsiCo, while our systems support the monitoring needs of these companies.
How do your solutions differ from those offered by other companies in the market?
For perishable goods, medicines, and food products, reliable technology is crucial. With Testo, users can confidently access timely, unaltered data, ensuring their systems maintain accurate measurements. Additionally, being a German-designed product, Testo boasts an extended product lifespan and sensor stability, unlike many local market alternatives that often come with limited lifespans and insufficient warranty or service support.
In India, Testo stands apart as the sole company with an in-house service lab and NABL calibration lab, ensuring lifelong service and support for its customers.
