string(2694) "[THIS CONTENT IS AUTOMATICALLY TRANSLATED BY GOOGLE TRANSLATE] We installed a Miniserver in the restaurant along with two Relay extensions, an RS485 extension and a 1-wire extension. With this equipment, we can control all aspects of the restaurant.
We have three main areas in which to intervene:
The first, and most important, is the time control of kitchen equipment. Fryer baskets, griddles, hot tables and extraction are items that consume a lot of electricity. By limiting its use to specific time slots, we eliminate human errors and significantly reduce energy costs.
The second approach, also related to energy, is the proper use of air conditioning. We divided the restaurant into three zones according to its use: kitchen, customer lounge and games area. Using the RS485 communication gateway, we monitor and adjust the ECO and COMFORT schedules during the periods of the day with lower customer influx and staff density. Thus, the air conditioning systems enter ECO mode and we reduce the SET temperature, which reduces electricity consumption. For the games area, we have implemented a presence sensor so that, if there are no customers present, the air conditioning system goes into sleep mode.
Furthermore, using temperature sensors and modbus control of a heat exchanger, we monitor the CO2 concentration in the restaurant, thus complying with the air renewal regulations in force for places of public attendance.
The third crucial aspect of this project is the cold rooms. With the data provided by communication and configuration, we have established a series of preventive alarms that allow us to carry out adequate maintenance of the equipment. We can detect if the compressors, fans, valves or other critical elements of the installation present any problem or abnormal behavior, which allows us to intervene on the premises long before the products reach temperatures out of range, thus saving the client money. . We have also implemented corrective alarms, such as the detection of trapped people or door open time exceeded.
In addition to the above, we also monitor the energy meters via modbus TCP, the entire restaurant lighting, the air curtains at the entrance to the room, the water circulation pump for the water-cooled elements and the air cooler temperatures.

As can be seen in all the points mentioned above, we have achieved automation with minimal equipment that provides efficient supervision, guarantees the correct operation of the restaurant and optimizes electricity consumption remotely, allowing us to control several restaurants simultaneously. "
