Case Study: Small Box Energy achieves 50% lower equipment, installation and maintenance costs and streamlined energy management with Samsung Galaxy Tab

Samsung Galaxy Tablets Help Streamline Energy Management System for Restaurants

Small Box Energy, maker of the chameleon Energy Management System used by quick-service restaurants to cut lighting, HVAC and refrigeration costs, needed to replace bulky, expensive desktop PCs that hosted its software with a smaller, lower-cost, cloud-ready device. After evaluating 15 tablets, Small Box Energy chose the Samsung Galaxy Tab as a compact, reliable platform that could be preloaded with chameleon and deployed in cramped manager offices for easy employee access.

Samsung delivered Galaxy Tabs pre-installed with chameleon and a mobile device management solution, mounted on-site and connected via Wi‑Fi (with GPS and camera for advanced features). The Samsung deployment cut equipment, installation and maintenance costs in half, reduced per-system hardware spend by hundreds of dollars and halved typical install time, while using less energy and freeing up space—improving usability and enabling future cloud and mobile enhancements.
