The Challenge
In the world of quick service dining, consistency, speed, and quality are non-negotiable. But behind every hot, freshly served meal lies a complex web of operations, from kitchen equipment and HVAC systems to gas usage and staff compliance.
For one of the world’s leading QSR chains, the challenge was clear: optimise energy consumption and resource usage across their outlets without compromising on service quality or customer comfort. Rising energy costs, limited visibility into on-ground operations, and inconsistencies in compliance added to the pressure.
They needed a solution that could bring data-driven intelligence and control into their day-to-day operations, one that could balance efficiency, compliance, and sustainability seamlessly.
The Solution
We deployed our 360-degree Facility Monitoring Solution powered by AOne, combining IoT-enabled energy management with AI-driven video analytics to deliver actionable insights and automation across locations.
The result was a connected, intelligent environment that continuously monitored utilities, optimised HVAC operations, ensured safety and compliance, and delivered measurable savings, all through a unified digital platform.
Key solution features:
Utilities Monitoring
– Energy efficiency: Minimised energy waste without compromising operational speed.
– HVAC optimisation: Improved comfort and reduced power usage through smart scheduling and adaptive controls.
– LPG monitoring: Enabled safe, efficient, and traceable gas usage.
Video Analytics
– Intrusion detection: Real-time alerts for unauthorised access during or after operational hours.
– Compliance monitoring: Automated detection of hygiene protocol adherence (e.g., caps, gloves).
– Visitor count tracking: Analysed footfall trends for improved staffing and planning.
– Service and wait time tracking: Optimised queue management and customer flow.
Video-Based HVAC Optimisation
– Smart occupancy-based AC control: Dynamically adjusted cooling based on real-time occupancy.
– Idle zone optimisation: Automatically switched idle areas to energy-saving mode.
– Peak-hour adaptation: Anticipated rush hours and pre-adjusted cooling levels.
– Intelligent automation: Enabled seamless coordination across systems for end-to-end automation.
