What does the metering data channel service mean in the case of a grocery store?

When operating a grocery store, we encounter numerous utensils and technical equipment. Some of these are found in the sales area, while others are in the stockroom. Most of them cannot be remotely monitored or controlled, which means they cannot be checked either. This is concerning for several reasons: first, the lack of timely detection of malfunctions can cause financial losses to the operator (e.g., the value of products discarded from a malfunctioning freezer); second, there is no administered operational information about the equipment, so no data assets are generated from which we could learn and develop in the future. From the data, we can create numerous reports, statistics, and forecasts, which can improve our efficiency. By comparing the operational status information collected in parallel by the various devices, we gain a holistic view of our actual operations. Learning from the measured results allows us to optimize our resources and operating costs.

The metering data channel service means the transmission, processing, evaluation, and graphical display of data from individual measuring points to the cloud. Measuring points are those machines, technical devices, meters, and sensors that can provide operational information about themselves to other systems.
