International. Emerson announced that its Sensi Predict intelligent HVAC solution has received the Silver Edison Award in the Innovative Services – Artificial Intelligence Applications category.
The award recognizes Emerson's Sensi Predict as a twenty-first century solution for maintaining home heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, sharing real-time system information to help homeowners monitor performance and prevent unexpected problems. The Edison Awards, named after inventor Thomas Alva Edison, recognize and honor the world's best innovations that are at the forefront of new product and service development, marketing, and human-centered design.
Emerson's Sensi Predict uses 10 sensors to analyze the performance of heating and cooling systems, which are among the most expensive assets in a home. Sensi Predict technology provides real-time monitoring, alerting owners and their contractors when their HVAC systems are not working at peak efficiency. These alerts, which can be conveniently accessed from a smartphone, can help predict and prevent problems and, along with corrective maintenance, can reduce utility costs and extend the life of HVAC systems.
"Our heating and cooling systems are critical to the health and comfort of our families and the environment, but we have very little visibility into how they perform on a day-to-day basis," said Jamie Froedge, executive chairman of the commercial and residential solutions business. "We are honored to be recognized for this innovative technology that brings awareness and peace of mind when it comes to an essential component of our home."
"We were very impressed by the level of collaboration and discovery at this year's entrances," said Edison Universe CEO Frank Bonafilia. "Somehow, in facing the unprecedented challenges of this global pandemic, companies around the world figured out how to work safely and intelligently and still innovate at an award-winning level."
