Our CEO?Amrit Robbins provided expert analysis on the EPA's recent refrigerant deregulation announcement in a recent Grocery Dive story from Catherine Douglas M.. In the article, Amrit clarified that "the EPA is considering changes to the Technology Transitions rule to either loosen or delay requirements forcing end-users to transition to low-GWP refrigerants," while noting that despite regulatory shifts, the industry continues "trending toward implementing comprehensive refrigerant management strategies that go beyond minimum compliance." Read how these regulatory changes may impact grocery retailers and why reducing refrigerant leaks remains critical regardless of EPA policy:?https://lnkd.in/e72Aht7V #Refrigeration #Sustainability #GroceryRetail #RefrigerantManagement

We're excited to share how one of our specialty grocery partners broke free from the endless cycle of emergency refrigeration repairs and transformed their maintenance operations using our Predictive Maintenance Module. Key results from their first year: ? 238 predictive maintenance anomalies were identified ? Predictive maintenance enabled $860,000 in direct cost savings ? Including other modules, Axiom enabled the grocery to save $1.4 million ? Emergency service calls and "call backs" were dramatically reduced ? Contractor accountability and first-time fix rates significantly improved Before implementing our solution, this retailer was trapped in a reactive "break/fix" maintenance cycle with refrigeration driving up to 90% of service calls. Now they're proactively addressing issues before they become emergencies - often resolving them remotely or batching maintenance tasks efficiently. The best part? No new hardware was required, and they started seeing benefits within just two weeks of deployment. Read the full case study on our website to learn how we're helping grocery retailers across the country transform their maintenance approach and protect their bottom line: https://lnkd.in/eJJgiMS9 #RetailInnovation #PredictiveMaintenance #Refrigeration #GroceryTech #AIinRetail #MaintenanceTransformation #AxiomCloud

Amrit Robbins' recent article in Food Logistics magazine reveals the true cost of refrigeration outages in retail grocery - and it's much higher than most realize. Beyond the obvious costs of repairs and spoiled inventory, refrigeration failures create cascading expenses: ? Employee productivity drops as staff scramble to address emergencies ? Customer loyalty diminishes when shoppers can't find what they need (1 in 4 customers shop elsewhere if just 1-3 items are unavailable) ? Environmental impact intensifies with refrigerant leaks (HFC refrigerants are potent greenhouse gases that have as much as 4,000x the impact of CO2) For grocery retailers operating on razor-thin margins (often only 1-2%), these hidden costs quickly erase profitability. It’s time to shift from reactive repairs to proactive monitoring and preventive maintenance.

With New York's new refrigerant regulations now in effect, facilities need quarterly or monthly leak inspections - unless they have "whole system" Automatic Leak Detection installed. Let's break down what these manual inspections really cost: Direct Costs: ? Technician time and travel ? Equipment and testing supplies ? Documentation and reporting time ?Quarterly or monthly frequency multiplying these costs Hidden Costs: ? Diverting skilled technicians from critical repairs ? Missed leaks between inspections (up to 89 days!) ? Emergency repairs when leaks worsen ? Compliance risk if inspections are missed or delayed The Real Impact: Relying solely on manual inspections can add up to $1,000 to $5,500 per site per year. There's a better way: Modern "whole system" leak detection eliminates these manual inspections while providing continuous monitoring and earlier detection. Is your facility still paying for manual inspections? Let's talk about more efficient alternatives. #RefrigerantCompliance #FacilityManagement #CostReduction #Sustainability #NYRegulations #HVAC #GroceryRetail #ColdStorage

See Axiom CEO’s Amrit Robbins recent article in Chain Store Age, "Refrigerant Regulations: US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s AIM Act compliance and the January 2026 deadline," which explains why grocery retailers should proactively address EPA's AIM Act compliance before the January 2026 deadline instead of waiting until the last minute. "The rush to comply closer to the 2026 deadline will likely cause an uptick in demand for ALD installations, driving up costs and extending lead times... Those who act sooner will not only avoid inflated pricing but can also benefit from locking in the best providers and securing installations on a timeline that suits their operational needs, rather than scrambling to meet a regulatory deadline." This is essential reading for anyone in the grocery retail sector concerned about regulatory compliance, operational costs, and environmental impact.

The refrigerant industry is facing one of its biggest shifts in 40 years. Last week, we hosted industry experts Keilly Witman from Refrigerant Management Solutions (RMS), Tom Mathews from BaselineES, and Axiom Cloud CEO Amrit Robbins to break down what the New York regulations mean (and implications for facilities nationwide). Here's what you need to know: New York's January 2025 regulations require immediate action: ? Quarterly inspections for 200+ lb systems ? Monthly monitoring for 1500+ lb systems? ? Automatic leak detection by June 2025 The impact? Traditional sensor-based systems won't meet requirements for "whole system" monitoring, which means that costly manual leak inspections will still be required. With 20 states developing similar regulations, this is just the beginning. The numbers tell the story: ? Average facility loses 25% of refrigerant annually ? One major leak can cost cost ~$15,000 ? Manual leak inspections: $1,000 per quarter per facility Want the full story?

Comparing Automatic Leak Detection (ALD) Options for NY Facilities: Meeting the June 2025 Deadline. With New York's new refrigerant regulations requiring compliant ALD systems by June 1st, 2025, facilities need to understand their options. Here's a clear comparison: Traditional Sensor-Based (Hardware) ALD: ? Takes weeks/months for hardware installation per site ? Requires extensive project management across multiple stakeholders ? Costs $20k-40k per store upfront + ongoing software and maintenance fees ? Important Note: These systems alone don't meet "whole system" compliance requirements or eliminate manual inspections Software-Based "Whole System" ALD: ? Deploys to 100+ sites weekly ? No hardware installation or onsite visits needed ? Costs $2-5k per store annually ? Provides immediate compliance and eliminates manual inspections The difference is clear: software-based ALD offers faster deployment, simpler implementation, and lower costs while ensuring full regulatory compliance. At Axiom Cloud, we're helping facilities achieve compliance through our Early Leak Detection module - an EPA and CARB-listed solution that delivers rapid ROI through reduced refrigerant, maintenance, and energy costs.

In case you missed it: Don't let the 20+ year transition to natural refrigerants stop you from taking action on HFC leaks today. In December’s webinar with NASRC, we explored why grocery retailers can't afford to wait. The reality? Even industry leaders expect only 22% of their stores to use CO2 refrigeration in the next five years. Meanwhile, the average store loses $31,000 annually just in replacement refrigerant gas – that's three weeks of typical store profits gone. "Even if you're rapidly changing over to CO2 refrigeration, now is the time to prioritize lowering your HFC refrigerant leak rates. The financial compliance, operational and sustainability benefits are massive and the cost of inaction is just too high to justify," shares our CEO Amrit Robbins.
