Wednesday, August 30, 2023

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Axiom Cloud announced that its "Early Leak Detection'' (ELD) module, formerly in beta, is being released for commercial use throughout North America today. Axiom's Early Leak Detection module (patent pending) leverages AI-powered algorithms, instead of requiring new physical sensors, to detect leaks much earlier than most grocery stores and cold storage facilities do today. The ELD module helps facilities to dramatically lower their refrigerant leak rates and reduce scope 1 GHG emissions. It also provides clear notifications (that often specify the location of the leak) to enable faster and more efficient service calls.
