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.

Is AI also changing the way people write? In its latest blog post, CAREL shares a reflection by Elena Gobbi, Content & Media Coordinator at CAREL, on the relationship between artificial intelligence and language. AI-generated content is often clear, correct and well structured. Yet, as certain expressions and linguistic patterns become increasingly widespread, communication may risk moving towards a more uniform vocabulary. The article explores how this standardisation can af

In a context shaped by continuous supply chain disruption, manufacturing resilience increasingly depends on the ability to plan and react as a connected network. In his latest blog post, Pietro Rossato, Group Chief Operations Officer at CAREL, examines how manufacturing planning is evolving from a plant-based approach to network-level orchestration. The article examines how integrated planning, cross-horizon decision-making and mirrored technologies can help companies manage

Seed preservation is becoming an increasingly important factor in modern agriculture. Long before planting begins, storage conditions can influence seed vigour, germination rates, crop uniformity and, ultimately, the performance of future harvests. As agricultural supply chains face increasing pressure to reduce losses and optimise resources, climate-controlled storage is evolving from a passive preservation phase into a strategic part of agritech infrastructure. Stable tempe
