iJ is Carel’s new complete electronic controller platform for refrigeration units. iJ can be connected via NFC, BT, WiFi (embedded, market first) or 2G gateways to enable IOT services, even on these entry-level controllers.
The design allows the product to be completely aesthetically integrated into the final unit.
The color of the faceplate can be changed with custom material graphics according to the merchandiser’s brand.
ij allows to preserve the cold chain, minimizing food waste, while it features many energy saving algorithms to reduce the environmental impact of refrigeration units.
