Abstract:As a large retail enterprise, chain supermarkets are gradually increasing their emphasis on energy management. Many chain supermarkets have realized that the proportion of energy costs in total operating costs cannot be ignored, and have therefore begun to develop and implement a series of energy management strategies. These strategies include but are not limited to the procurement of energy-saving equipment, the development of energy usage standards, and the training of employees' energy-saving awareness.
Keywords:Chain stores, Internet of Things (IoT), energy conservation and consumption reduction, intelligence, and sustainable development
0.Introduction
In the modern business environment, chain supermarkets are facing increasingly fierce market competition and rapidly changing consumer demands. In order to improve efficiency, reduce costs, enhance service quality and customer satisfaction, more and more supermarkets are choosing digital management as their core strategy. Ankerui EIOT, with its advanced technology and flexible applications, is helping chain supermarkets achieve new breakthroughs in digital management.
1. Current situation of energy management in chain supermarkets
The energy management of chain supermarkets faces the following challenges:
(1)Energy consumption is dispersed: stores are widely distributed, making it difficult to centrally manage energy data.
(2)Outdated management methods: relying on manual meter reading and regulation, with low efficiency.
(3)High energy consumption cost: Lighting, air conditioning and other equipment consume a large proportion of energy and lack refined control.
(4)Insufficient data utilization: Insufficient mining of energy data, making it difficult to support energy-saving decisions
The necessity of digital management
With the development of technology, traditional management models are no longer able to meet the needs of modern chain supermarkets. Digital management, through information technology, can monitor various businesses in real time, optimize processes, improve response speed, and help supermarkets stand undefeated in competition.
2.1 Improving operational efficiency
Through digital technology, supermarkets are able to manage inventory in real-time, avoiding situations of product shortage or excess. With the help of data analysis, managers can intuitively understand which types of products have good sales performance and which ones are unsold, so as to adjust procurement strategies and avoid wasting funds.
2.2 Improving Customer Experience
Digital management has also significantly improved customer experience. For example, through technological means such as mobile payments, electronic membership cards, and personalized recommendations, it can make shopping more convenient and enjoyable for consumers.
2.3 Enhancing Decision Support
Data driven decision-making has become a trend. The shelf life of fresh products is short, and understanding consumers' consumption habits can effectively reduce losses. By analyzing historical sales data, chain supermarkets can make reasonable predictions about future sales trends and carry out precise marketing.
3. Core functions of Ankerui EIOT solution
3.1Real time monitoring and data analysis
The platform supports real-time collection and monitoring of energy data such as electricity, water, and gas, and provides functions such as energy consumption trend analysis and month on month analysis to help supermarket managers comprehensively grasp energy usage.
3.2Intelligent lighting and air conditioning control
Through the intelligent lighting module, the brightness of the lights is automatically adjusted based on the store's opening and closing time, foot traffic, and natural lighting,Achieve the effect of energy conservation and consumption reduction.
The air conditioning system can be remotely controlled according to the ambient temperature to avoid excessive cooling or heating.
3.3Prepaid and Safe Electricity Management
Support prepaid mode, automatic power-off for overdue payments, avoiding energy waste.
At the same time, the platform can monitor electrical fire hazards (such as cable temperature and leakage current), issue timely warnings, and ensure electrical safety.

3.4Remote operation and alarm management
The platform can monitor the real-time operation status of equipment, and alert through SMS, APP push and other methods when abnormalities are found. It also supports remote dispatching and closed-loop processing, improving operation and maintenance efficiency
