Artificial intelligence is no longer only a technological topic. It is increasingly shaping business models, professional roles and the way organisations create value. In her latest blog post, Serena Ometto, Group Head of Services Marketing at CAREL, examines the opportunities and risks of AI, with particular attention to the labour market, ethical responsibility and the need to keep human judgement at the centre of technological progress. The article presents AI as a human-d

CAREL explores the evolving landscape of heat pump technologies within HVAC/R, where regulations, efficiency targets and market trends are shaping new design approaches and system strategies. The white paper examines key technological developments, regulatory drivers and market directions influencing current and future applications. Read more and download the white paper here

As heat pumps become a key technology in the transition towards more sustainable heating and cooling systems, reliability throughout the equipment lifecycle is becoming an increasingly strategic issue. In his latest blog post, Daniele Scapin, Application Developer at CAREL, explores machine learning-based fault detection in a residential R-290 heat pump unit. The article explains why Fault Detection and Diagnosis is gaining importance in HVAC/R, how simulation can help overco

Improving the energy performance of buildings is now a key priority in the global path towards climate neutrality. In her latest article, Miriam Solana Ciprés, HVAC/R Technical Knowledge Manager at CAREL, analyses how building energy efficiency regulations are developing beyond Europe, with a focus on Australia and China. The article outlines how different frameworks are encouraging higher performance, greater transparency and more accountable energy management across the bui

How can generative AI become more reliable in HVAC/R? CAREL’s new white paper, “Gen AI in HVAC/R: making it more reliable. From prompt engineering to context engineering”, explores how context engineering can help Gen AI produce more useful, verifiable responses in technical and managerial work. Written by Giandomenico Lombello, Senior Advisor and member of CAREL’s AI Committee, the document presents ten operational applications and interprets Gen AI as Augmented Intelligence

CAREL introduces iJP, the controller family for blast chillers, built on the iJ platform and designed for the HO.RE.CA. market. Developed to simplify everyday use in professional kitchens, iJP combines an intuitive interface, flexible formats and advanced connectivity. It supports blast chilling and freezing cycles, while HACCP logs can be viewed and downloaded directly from a connected smartphone. With Bluetooth connectivity, chefs can seamlessly interact with the Controll

Energy efficiency is becoming a strategic priority for food retail, driven by evolving regulations, energy cost volatility and increasingly ambitious ESG objectives. With the new white paper “Energy efficiency in food retail stores. Regulatory and technical aspects, and AI tools”, CAREL provides an in-depth analysis of the regulatory landscape, energy management strategies and the technologies available to improve store performance. The document also explores how artificial i

The potential of generative AI is huge, but technology alone does not create value. Projects often fail when applied to unstudied processes, messy data, or workflows layered over years. In his latest blog post, Giulio Dal Lin, Group Head of Transformation at CAREL, examines why the preparatory work, observing real work, mapping processes, eliminating waste, and organising information, is critical. He discusses concepts such as the gemba, value stream mapping, 5S for data and

CAREL has published its 2025 ESG Highlights, outlining the Group’s approach to sustainability and the progress achieved during the year. Among the key results, CAREL reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 34% compared to 2023, increased the share of renewable energy in total consumption to 58% and generated 1.2 GWh of electricity through photovoltaic systems.
