Case Study: Oxford Energy Solutions achieves up to 70% energy savings and remote predictive maintenance with Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Machine

How EcoStruxureTM Machine is helping Oxford Energy revolutionize the refrigeration market

Oxford Energy Solutions, a Canadian refrigeration equipment designer and builder, wanted to modernize aging, often 50‑year‑old refrigeration systems to improve visibility, flexibility, reliability and sustainability. To achieve this, Oxford partnered with Schneider Electric and selected the EcoStruxure Machine suite (including the Modicon M172 controller and EcoStruxure Secure Connect Advisor) to deliver a ready‑to‑connect, plug‑and‑play control platform.

Schneider Electric implemented EcoStruxure Machine with IPC/HMI dashboards, apps and analytics for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, reducing service, operating and electrical requirements. The solution delivered measurable results—energy savings of 50–70% (one customer dropped average use from ~21 kW/h to 6 kW/h), improved equipment lifecycle and vastly lower maintenance costs—and enabled rapid, repeatable deployments (targeting some 600–700 systems within 12 months).
