SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Advanced Telemetry, developer of the EcoView Commercial smart energy and resource management system, has announced the sale and deployment of its solution to three quick-service restaurant franchises: RIO Management, a Portland, Ore.-based multiunit Burger King operator; AIP Ventures, a Seattle-based multi-location Taco Bell operator; and FX4, a Scottsdale, Ariz.-based multiunit Arby's operator.
All three customers will install the EcoView Commercial system in multiple stores throughout their respective territories, enabling both local staff and remote Advanced Telemetry account specialists to easily view, control and decrease energy and resource usage in real time. The system also will reduce utility bills by as much as 20 percent and realize returns on investment in as little as six months.
All three groups have opted to outsource much of the system management to account specialists at Advanced Telemetry's Network Operations Center.
EcoView Commercial features include:
- On-site "dashboard" touch panel for graphical viewing of real-time and historical resource consumption data
- Web-based interface for real-time usage reporting and remote thermostat control
- Centralized, remote control of thermostats including set points, schedules, and heating and cooling limits that eliminates suboptimal local control
- Automated "peak shaving" option designed to reduce consumption during peak demand periods
- Automated e-mail alerts
