Digitalizing energy management reduces retailer electricity usage by more than 30%

ABB Commercial Energy Solutions (ACES), formerly known as ABB Cylon Retail Solutions, is addressing rising energy costs across the retail market with a focus on increased efficiencies through connected devices, remote diagnostics, and asset optimization.

Since 2001, the per-kilowatthour cost of commercial electricity has grown 40.5 percent to 10.19 cents per kilowatthour¹. Because of this, retailers are always looking for ways to manage costs, improve operations, and increase profit margins. With more than 30 years of experience in the market as Cylon Solutions, ACES offers retailers a customized approach to increased energy efficiencies through the integration of building automation with information systems.

“Fully-functioning, scalable and operating on standard web browsers, ACES allows facilities managers to easily monitor and control multiple buildings, simplify operations and maintain security standards,” said Michael Lotfy, Senior Vice President, Group Head, Smart Buildings Solutions, Americas. “Buildings are evolving at a rapid speed, energy distribution and management is becoming more critical than ever, and the ecological system of building automation is expanding. With a focus on digitalization, we address an ever-growing market need, answer customer demands, and build a new foundation that will help our customers save money through increased efficiencies and optimization of assets.”
