720436ZeusClosedGRD Development of PrototypeInnovate UKElstat is the leading provider of Energy Management Systems (EMS) for beverage cooling equipment globally. Its innovative solution was developed and patented in collaboration with The Coca Cola Company. It has been embedded in various forms into over 4.5million units over the last six years making cumulative savings of over 14.9B kWh, worth approx. £1.6Bn ($2.3Bn) for its users globally. Specific details of the projects innovation are limited due to market/IPR sensitivity. However, the project will produce a number of innovation ‘firsts’ that will seed several patent submissions. These are based upon truly first to market technologies and unique approaches to product, environment and device monitoring. The Zeus project will deliver technology that will initially extend the current market for established products but, more importantly, will provide the foundation for an innovative, technology-driven products range that maintains Elstat as the leading innovator within its market sector(s). Each phase of the project extends the benefits of energy saving initially into existing beverage coolers and ultimately integrating into much wider systems, controls and potentially social environments. The project will produce revenue savings technology throughout the supply chain, complemented by improved device management and novel market intelligence capabilities.
