At GEA, digitalization in heating and refrigeration is not just about technology — it’s about creating smarter, more connected operations that deliver lasting value. By turning real-time data into meaningful insights, our digital solutions give you greater visibility and control over system performance, energy use, and maintenance needs.
From day one, we support you with tools that help reduce downtime, stabilize processes and lower emissions — all while simplifying operations in increasingly complex environments. Whether you’re running a district heating network or a large-scale refrigeration plant, our solutions help ensure reliability, safety, and efficiency across the entire lifecycle.
Along with these digital solutions, you get access to the GEA Digital Operations Center (DOC). At DOC, a team of refrigeration and heating experts work with IIoT & Data specialists to develop meaningful data-driven insights and provide complementary support to your local services.
