AI early leak detection for store refrigeration
Sprouts' AI leak detection flagged 21 refrigerant leaks that its existing sensor-based method missed in a nine-month test
Problem
Refrigerant leaks in store refrigeration systems are costly and often found late. Sprouts relied on a sensor-based maintenance service to catch them.
Approach
Sprouts tested Axiom Cloud's AI-driven Early Leak Detection module at 115 California stores from April to December 2023. The test ran head to head against the existing sensor-based method, which the source calls the Alternative.
Results
Takeaway
A side-by-side test against the incumbent method gave Sprouts a direct comparison of both detection rate and timing. The figures come from the AI vendor.
