One cycle, one group
Every project goes through the same five stages within the same group: Smart Cold leads assessment, design, manufacturing, and installation; Frio Ideal, a group company and the sole authorized provider, leads maintenance. You don't coordinate three different suppliers.
-
Assessment and sizing
We map the thermal load, the available space, and the operation's routine. Sizing is done by engineering, based on the project's real profile, not from a catalog.
-
Custom design
We define equipment, compressors, and controls for your operation's exact profile, with a focus on energy efficiency and reliability.
-
In-house manufacturing
We build the equipment in-house, using compressors from established manufacturers like Bitzer and Dorin.
-
Installation and commissioning
The same team that sized and designed the system installs it and brings it online, ensuring continuity.
-
Maintenance and monitoring
Preventive and corrective maintenance plus ongoing support, provided by Frio Ideal, a group company and the sole provider authorized to maintain Smart Cold equipment. Monitoring stays within the same group throughout the entire cycle.
Frequently asked questions
What are the stages of a project with Smart Cold?
Five stages: assessment and sizing, custom design, in-house manufacturing, and installation with commissioning are led by Smart Cold's engineering team; maintenance and monitoring are handled by Frio Ideal, a group company and the sole authorized provider. From assessment to delivery, you deal with a single technical lead.
How does Smart Cold size the equipment?
By engineering, based on the project's real profile, not from a catalog. The team maps the thermal load, the available space, and the operation's routine, and defines equipment, compressors, and controls for the operation's exact profile, with a focus on energy efficiency and reliability.
Does Smart Cold manufacture its own equipment?
Yes. Manufacturing is done in-house, in Vargem Grande Paulista/SP, with compressors from established manufacturers like Bitzer and Dorin. The same team that sized and designed the system installs it and brings it online.
How long does delivery of Smart Cold equipment take?
About 45 days from order confirmation to dispatch, the same lead time published as an indicator on the cases and about pages.
