Technology to Reduce Energy Consumption at REMA Distribution Norway’s Hubs Even Further
Trondheim/Oslo, January 30, 2025
RELOG AS and REMA Distribution Norway AS have entered into a groundbreaking agreement to reduce energy consumption and lower costs at REMA 1000’s distribution hubs across Norway.
Collaboration for Future Energy Savings
The agreement between RELOG AS and REMA Distribution Norway AS marks the beginning of an exciting project, the result of extensive collaboration on energy efficiency in large warehouse facilities. RELOG’s innovative software, Arcturus, has already demonstrated its potential by reducing energy consumption in individual components by nearly 90% at REMA’s distribution hub in Vagle, Sandnes. Now, the technology will be implemented across all distribution hubs in Norway to explore further energy-saving and optimization potential.
A Green Initiative Focused on Artificial Intelligence
The Arcturus software platform is designed to integrate various AI solutions to optimize energy usage in buildings. The technology can be adapted to a wide range of components and systems, making it highly flexible and future-oriented.
Saving 500,000 kWh Annually
Estimates from the pilot project indicate an annual energy reduction of 500,000 kWh in the first phase.
Future Plans and Collaboration
Implementation began in the fall of 2024, with installations at all distribution hubs expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2025—a testament to how efficiently the software can be deployed. The project is continuously evaluated, and the insights gained will be used to further develop the software and lay the foundation for potential expansion.
Christian Wist, CEO of RELOG AS, states:
“We are proud of this collaboration with REMA Distribution Norway. This project allows us to demonstrate how technology and innovation can reduce energy consumption and strengthen our customers' competitiveness in a cost-effective and rapid manner.”
Synnøve Gautesen Berg, Director of Responsibility and Sustainability at REMA Distribution Norway AS, adds:
“Energy savings are crucial for both the environment and the cost efficiency of our operations. We look forward to testing RELOG’s solution and exploring how it can reduce consumption at our distribution hubs.”
