RestaurantAutomation.com Website
Arecont's new RestaurantAutomation.com website is now online. This website is geared toward end-users in the hospitality industry and shows off Kontar's™ unmatched capabilities and potential therein.  Take a few moments to check it out and see just a few of the infinite applications of the Kontar™ control system. Many have tried, but only Kontar™ has been able to be cost-effective enough for smaller installations and still have an ROI of only 1 to 2 years.

Drive-Through Timer/Message Board
Arecont is known as a leader in restaurant automation controls. The introduction of their drive-through timer and message board features has helped solidify this position. The low-cost, VGA LCD display panels offer critical onsite information including: current car time, average total time, cars served against goal, alarm status, and a general message area that can be securely updated from anywhere in the world through email. Check out this feature in the Products & Services section or contact Arecont for a demonstration.

PDA Konsole™
Arecont's popular and powerful Konsole control application is now available for Windows CE™ based, hand-held computers. Now you can have full control from anywhere in the world in the palm of your hand using wireless service like Verizon's 3G (similar services available from other providers), or local WiFi wireless access inside the facility. Check out this feature in the Products & Services section or contact Arecont for a demonstration.

Kontar's™ Power Management Features Enhanced
Kontar's™ power monitoring capabilities have been enhanced to include Kilowatt hours, current demand, average peak demand (per interval), user definable demand setpoints, phase monitoring, voltage, amperage, and voltage unbalance factor metering. Arecont's load shedding capabilities have been enhanced with their exclusive Predictive Load Shedding™ algorithms which can reduce utility costs even further by predicting demand peak times and modifying setpoints to allow equipment to “coast” through demand peaks. Contact Arecont for additional information.

Arecont at ASHRAE
Arecont attended the International ASHRAE AHR Expo in Orlando, Florida earlier this year.
