Generative AI is reshaping the way HVAC/R professionals approach decision-making, yet many remain sceptical, particularly due to concerns about AI "hallucinations": the generation of plausible-sounding but incorrect responses. In his latest blog post, Giandomenico Lombello, Senior Advisor at CAREL, examines how understanding the inherent limitations of Gen AI is key to unlocking its true potential. He explains that Gen AI should not be viewed as a replacement for human critic

Managing HVAC/R systems today means bringing data, control and optimisation into a single, coherent framework. With the new boss and boss mini, CAREL introduces an edge device designed to centralise information, improve performance and support smarter energy management. Through advanced interaction logic coordinated by a central system, isolated individual components can become part of an intelligent ecosystem, capable of dynamically responding to energy saving needs. Integra

Rising energy costs, stricter regulations and sustainability targets are reshaping large-scale retail. With RED optimise, CAREL supports retailers in improving building performance through distributed intelligence of digital services. Designed to optimise refrigeration, HVAC and lighting systems, RED optimise combines centralised monitoring, HACCP control, analytics and reporting to deliver clear, actionable insights. Data is processed to reduce energy consumption, improve a

CAREL solutions for residential heat pumps are designed to support the transition towards climate neutrality. Suitable for new builds and renovations, in both mild and cold climates, they enable high efficiency, electrification and system integration to help reduce dependence on fossil fuels. For air/water and water/water heat pumps, CAREL combines compliant hardware, ready-to-use STone-based software and intelligent control systems, integrated from a smart home perspective.

EU policies are increasingly shaping the deployment of heat pumps across Europe. In the latest blog post, Miriam Solana Ciprés , Technical Knowledge Manager at CAREL, examines the main EU initiatives introduced between 2021 and 2024, highlighting how directives and regulations are supporting the decarbonisation of heating systems. The article also looks ahead to upcoming developments, with a second part dedicated to 2025 initiatives. Read the blog post and download the white

In centralised refrigeration, the compressor rack remains the core of system efficiency and compliance. Building on the proven pRack300 heritage, the new pRack represents the latest evolution of CAREL’s rack controller, combining reliability with a renewed focus on distributed intelligence and connectivity. Its modular architecture allows intelligence and I/Os to be tailored to the real needs of each installation, ensuring scalability and flexibility across different applicat
