Grid Fruit LLC is structured around enabling better energy management in food retail stores - reducing cost to the User while also benefit utilities. The Grid Fruit system is set up to allow facilities to receive demand response (DR) signals and coordinating store loads accordingly - effectively providing the stores real-time alerts and predictive maintenance messages to avoid faults, demand spikes, etc. â The Grid's system uses AI to coordinate energy usage across store appliances and can schedule store loads in coordination with electric vehicle (EV) charging and rooftop PV. â Unused energy and operational data is put to work for food stores and power grids - in efect, Grid Fruitâs AI-based technology provides energy efficiency and grid incentives to commercial refrigeration. Using machine learning with enhanced monitoring and dynamic control, Grid Fruit improves refrigeration cycles to eliminate wasted energy and emergency maintenance procedures. This reduces operational costs and food waste while transforming commercial refrigeration systems into thermal batteries for the grid. This, in turn, allows food stores to receive demand response rebates and reduce the storesâ peak demand
