Retail
Smart and sustainable retail property
In a shop, everything runs on the network: tills, payment terminals, screens and stock systems. At the same time, lighting, refrigeration and heating are major energy users. Controlling them smartly saves costs directly.
What we look at
Five points that make the difference.
Always able to take payments
A stable connection with a backup connection.
Smart lighting
Lighting that adapts to daylight and opening hours.
Monitoring refrigeration
Sensors that report deviations before products spoil.
Separate networks
Payments, guest WiFi and cameras strictly separated from each other.
Shopping centres
Clear agreements on who manages which part of the network and the meters.
What happens if the connection in a shop goes down?
Often you cannot take payments. Tills, card terminals and stock systems run on the network. A backup connection via a different route or via 4G or 5G keeps the shop running.
How do I save energy in a shop?
Lighting, refrigeration and heating are major consumers in a shop. With smart lighting that adapts to daylight and opening hours, and sensors that monitor refrigeration, you save on costs straight away.
Should the networks in a shop be separated?
Yes. The payment network should be separate from guest WiFi, cameras and building systems. That is more secure and prevents a problem in one network from affecting the rest.
