Refrigeration and freezing

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-preserving-the-world-s-biodiversity-with-precise-climate-control">Preserving the world's biodiversity with precise climate control</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://www.seedvault.no/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Svalbard Global Seed Vault</a>, established in 2008, serves as a secure backup for the world's crop diversity, currently housing over one million seed samples. The vault is designed as a fail-safe storage facility and provides long-term seed preservation under highly controlled environmental conditions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-monitoring-the-earth-s-backup">Monitoring the Earth's backup</h2>



<p>It all began when <a href="https://www.ptg.no/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PTG – Perfect Temperature Group</a>, a Kiona-certified partner, won the contract to supply the refrigeration plant for the total contractor Hæhre. They wanted us at Kiona to supply them with one of our SCADA solutions.</p>



<p>While PTG supplied the cooling equipment, we at Kiona were, and still are, responsible for monitoring the technical equipment, such as the dehumidification system and CO₂ machine. <a href="https://kiona.com/products/iwmac">IWMAC, our most comprehensive SCADA system</a>, ensures stable humidity levels and precise temperature control.</p>



<p>The system also tracks energy consumption to optimize efficiency, reduce load peaks, and maintain correct temperatures throughout the vault –<strong> </strong>from the entrance to the highly secured seed storage chambers.</p>





<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-remote-control-for-full-oversight">Remote control for full oversight</h2>



<p>With detailed system visualizations, PTG can continuously monitor all technical processes and ensure everything is functioning as it should. But monitoring alone isn't enough; adjustments must be possible when needed.</p>



<p>IWMAC allows service partners to remotely adjust and optimize the system from anywhere in the world, meaning they don't need to travel to Svalbard to make changes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-maintaining-the-perfect-storage-conditions">Maintaining the perfect storage conditions</h2>



<p>The vault is blasted into the rock base of Platåfjellet, about a mile from Longyearbyen Airport. Situated in permafrost, it naturally maintains a temperature of 3 – 4°C below zero.</p>



<p>This location was chosen for its stability. However, predictability is just as important as fail-safes. <strong>The vault's strict climate requirements demand a steady -18°C, no more, no less.</strong> IWMAC makes it possible to both achieve, secure and document that precise temperature.</p>

<p>Within&nbsp;cooling and HVAC, efficiency and reliability are everything. Downtime is not an option, and energy costs are always a concern.&nbsp;That's&nbsp;why we focus on creating&nbsp;<strong>software that simplifies complexity and puts powerful control right at your fingertips.</strong></p>



<p>Our flagship&nbsp;product,&nbsp;<a href="https://kiona.com/products/iwmac" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">IWMAC, the SCADA system for everything within refrigeration and freezing</a>, is stronger than ever.&nbsp;We believe technology should work for you, not the other way around. That means breaking down silos,&nbsp;creating a seamless ecosystem where every&nbsp;component&nbsp;communicates effectively. The result is less waste, lower energy consumption, and smarter operations.</p>
