Company news

<p>This means we must dare to take some chances and do things we haven't done before. It requires that we have the courage and guts to think new and creative and break some barriers. Kiona is the whole package, the whole experience – from the solutions we offer to the e-mail that gives you helpful user tips or updates you on the latest trends.</p>



<p><strong>And starting today, we are one Kiona.</strong></p>



<h2 id="h-what-does-that-mean-for-you">What does that mean for you?</h2>



<p>For our existing customers, who have come to love one or more of our <a href="https://kiona.com/products/">products</a> – IMWAC, Edge, Energinet, or Web Port – everyday life will be pretty much the same. You can lean on the same people you have come to know. At the same time, we get more expertise and bigger muscles to help you. </p>



<ul><li>Our products, people, and solutions will remain the same. It's just more of everything. Becoming Kiona is how we can offer open, flexible, and independent solutions that can be tailored to your needs, depending on what you are looking for.</li></ul>



<ul><li>All products will now appear with the same colors and appearance. But no need to worry – except for a more similar wrapping, they still do the same job.</li></ul>



<ul><li>We put our hearts (and brains) together to continue to develop user-friendly technology that gives you the control and information you need. A faster pace of innovation will benefit you.</li></ul>



<p></p>



<h2 id="h-why-is-this-a-good-thing">Why is this a good thing?</h2>



<p>In many ways, this is the last piece that was missing to make the puzzle complete. Kiona is so much more than just a name, colors, and a logo. It is the step we had to take to become a little faster and stronger, to become who we always wanted to be.</p>



<p>To offer complete solutions, from ready-made setups for data integration to monitoring, advanced optimization, and reporting, we needed to be more curious, creative, and an even better partner you can trust. Therefore, Kiona is the perfect match for four stand-alone but complementary solutions.</p>



<p>For nearly 20 years, we have helped large property owners and small grocery stores make their technology perform better and push a little bit extra. Now it's time for us to challenge ourselves as well.</p>



<p>The keys to the realm are in your hands. We welcome you into our world!</p>

Matsentralen Trøndelag

We are concerned about food safety and always follow the Food Safety Authority's guidelines. This contribution from Kiona makes it even easier to take care of the food we store.

Marte Lønvik Bjørnsund

Manager, Matsentralen Trøndelag

In Norway, we throw away 385 000 tonnes of food a year. That food should first go to someone who needs it, but it has also cost the environment a lot to produce it in the first place. I wanted digital temperature monitoring so I don’t have to remember to write it down manually. It is much more comfortable, and it is reassuring to know that I am notified if something goes wrong. There has been a strong spirit of hard work, and Kiona has been in good company. I am very grateful that people stand up for us

Stay cool and informed with our stories on refrigeration and freezing. You will find content on temperature control suitable for rookies and tech-savvy partners. Find blog posts, use cases and videos on temperature control, heat recovery, natural cooling and wireless temperature sensors. Relevant for supermarkets, hotels and restaurants, and large industrial cooling systems like marine and other food processing facilities.

Refrigeration and freezing

<h2 id="h-giving-food-people-and-the-environment-a-second-chance">Giving food, people, and the environment a second chance</h2>



<p>Every single month, <a href="https://www.matsentralen.no/matsentralene/trondelag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matsentralen</a> distributes 40,000 meals to non-profit organizations. The least we can do is give back some extra food security.</p>



<p>Matsentralen is a network of eight food centers that facilitate the redistribution of surplus food from the food industry to non-profit organizations that help the disadvantaged. The goal is to create a sustainable food system.</p>



<p>The food center opened in Trondheim in 2018. Together with its donors and recipients, it contributes to 7 of the UN's 17 sustainability goals – the world's joint work plan to eradicate poverty, fight inequality, and stop climate change by 2030. We at Kiona are proud to contribute in our way, with what we do best. That is why we support Matsentralen with a free IWMAC system.</p>



<p>Through their work, they help the food industry reduce food waste and enable non-profit organizations to help people in difficult life situations.</p>



<p>The collaboration with Kiona consists of the SCADA system IWMAC, which provides digital monitoring of the temperature in the cloud solution. This gives the food center a better overview of the food they take care of and prevent further loss of goods. The facility is monitored, and managers are notified if deviations occur. In this way, they have a complete overview of the refrigeration systems – and can override them from anywhere.</p>

"We have taken on the important task of contributing to the transition to a more sustainable and energy-efficient property portfolio through our participation in the Swedish Public Sector Climate Initiative. We have come a long way but have about 20% to go and need to increase the pace to reach the 2030 targets, and we hope that Kionas's Edge AI integration solution will help us further in our energy and environmental work. Edge AI is a smart and cost-effective solution that is easy to connect to through the cloud, and it allows us to leverage investments already made in our buildings instead of having to buy new ones."

"In our roadmap we have had a clear vision that we want to add some form of smart control to our control strategy. After the upgrade to Web Port in the first half of 2021, it was a good opportunity to also connect Edge AI. It is easy to integrate from a software perspective through APIs and leverages our already made investments in e.g. input sensors imported into the Edge system. This can then contribute to optimization through AI. It will be exciting to see the results of it a little later when we can compare Kiona's AI control against our normal control where the heating curve is only adjusted to the current indoor temperature."
