CHALLENGE
Head of maintenance Jorge Ruiz was tasked with finding an Indoor Air Quality monitoring solution capable of alerting the management team of any issues that could affect customers and employees alike. This Indoor Air Quality monitoring was required to be installed before the restaurant lobbies were reopened to customers as the restrictions from the Covid 19 lockdowns were lifted.
SOLUTION
After reviewing a few solutions focused exclusively on Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Mr Ruiz selected a more expansive monitoring solution that entailed comprehensive environmental monitoring from Nimbus 9. The Nimbus 9 Environmental Quality Monitoring (EQM) solution was developed for the QSR industry to address their most important operational challenges around customer and employee safety. The EQM application monitors and measures key environmental variables across 2 domains: Indoor Air Quality and Equipment Monitoring of temperature sensitive products for Quality Control of perishable goods.

Real Time Dashboards
“For our organization real-time visibility is key.
With the maintenance facility 25 miles in one direction and 65 miles in another from the stores Informed Dispatch is critical. Actually knowing which piece of equipment is failing and it’s failure mode, over temp vs under temp, etc. allows for faster repair.
Nimbus 9 allows me to ensure that the maintenance team is not wasting truck rolls diagnosing a problem and then returning to the maintenance facility for any necessary parts or tools to resolve the issue.
Furthermore my General Manager loves the labor savings by eliminating the need for store managers to log holding temperatures every 4 hours. For us Nimbus 9 solves many problems.”
