FAQ

Alsense® is SaaS (software as a service) cloud solution. Alsense® IoT Food Retail connects supermarkets and their refrigerated assets through a modern cloud infrastructure — helping retailers avoid food loss & save energy or service providers to monitor several stores and their assets

Since Alsense® is a cloud-based SaaS service it cannot be installed on your local infrastructure. It runs in a Danfoss operated Microsoft Azure environment.

Alsense® and all our services are hosted on Microsoft Azure data centers. As one of the biggest public cloud providers Microsoft Azure is considered secure and resilient. Microsoft Azure complies with all relevant security standards.

Our services require a two way stable connection between Alsense® and the store, so that your onpremise controller can communicate with Alsense® and vise versa. Depending on the number of stores, which you want to monitor via Alsense® different solutions exist, however due to security reasons Danfoss recommends to use a VPN connection for this.

Our Alsense® Food Retail Digital Services are engineered to provide you with actionable insights for improving operational efficiency, asset performance and energy efficiency for your entire flet of stores, so that you spend less on energy and operational costs. Please find further details on each service offering here.

We offer the possibility for running trials/pilots, also with individual stores. Please contact AlsenseSupport@danfoss.com, and our team will get back to you
