Phononic launches platform to meet e-grocery fulfillment demand

Phononic (Booth N8530), a leader in solid state cooling technology, today announced its Active Cooling Solutions platform, a full-service, sustainable solution to solve end-to-end
cold chain fulfillment needs for the grocery industry. Building on the recent success, learnings, and proof points from more than 20 commercial installations, the ACS platform offers a complete cold chain fulfillment solution that allows retailers flexibility and scalability to meet the ever-changing needs of their business and the always-shifting behaviors of consumers.

The ACS platform launch includes critical hardware, accessories, and data-driven services and support optimizing e-grocery fulfillment.

“Today, there is a lack of an end-to-end cold-chain solution that is effective and provides flexibility, sustainability, and cost advantages. Phononic’s ACS platform addresses this gap – providing on-demand cooling and freezing on order through-put achieving unprecedented energy savings,” said Dana Krug, SVP at Phononic. “Our State of Online Grocery Shopping annual report showed that 67% of retailers are planning to spend between $500K - $1.5M on cold chain technology and/or fulfillment this year. The ACS Connected Services platform is proven through retail and automation partnerships as the best solution for more precise and secure cooling and freezing from storage to curbside pickup to last mile, with critical traceability for retailers’ cold chain fulfillment needs.”

Phononic will also be joining partners Kalypso/Rockwell Automation and stow Robotics in their booths to discuss more and showcase the ACS platform in action.
