Reading, UK: The Cold Chain Federation is running a series of free webinars this year that address everything from solving grid connection challenges to the road to net zero in the cold chain.
Next week, on 9 July, there will be a webinar on “Solving Grid Connection Challenges – Take Control with Smart Systems to Generate and Store Energy”.
With new ways of managing and storing energy it’s possible to power a site’s operations with renewable sources even with constrained / limited grid connections. This future proofs energy costs and reduces carbon emissions drastically. In this webinar, the team at Olympus Power will look at how combining existing, proven technology with smart energy management systems can overcome poor grid connections for self-generated energy.
The next webinar, on 17 September will look at “The Road to Net Zero in the Cold Chain and the Role of Energy Storage”. Leon Pulman, business development director at Wattstor, will share valuable insight on how to accelerate the net zero journey. He will cover the key energy management challenges in the sector and how these can be overcome using smart Battery Energy Storage Systems. This webinar will help kick-start a company’s first energy flexibility project or support further deployment for those already underway.
“Fleet Management – Which accreditation is best for your fleet?” is the topic for discussion on 24 September. Peter Rushmer from Flagship Partners will take a look at the various accreditations available to fleet operators. He will run through the benefits and drawbacks of each, giving a balanced view to help transport businesses understand the associated benefits and costs, as well as tips to avoid the pitfalls associated with implementation.
The hot topic covered in the webinar on 5 October is “Exploring the benefits of using AI in fleet management”.
The webinar will take a look at how it can be used in fleet management software to help derisk the introduction of electric vehicles. Michael Ayres, managing director of Flexible Power Systems, explains how modelling software can help understand and minimise the risks of fleet electrification and how AI can optimise planning and simplify the integration of electric vehicles into a fleet, saving operational costs, providing efficiencies and business resilience.
