VISIBILITY, CONTROL, AND OPTIMIZATION, SIMPLIFIED

Your equipment tells you what it needs. Act Hub is how you hear it.

Most multi-location operators manage facilities reactively. Energy becomes an uncontrolled expense, and HVAC and refrigeration failures trigger emergency repairs that pull teams into constant firefighting.

At the core of Act Hub is ForeSight365, Actuate’s predictive intelligence engine. It watches every system every minute of the day, optimizes energy use, catches performance drift early, and surfaces hidden risks before they disrupt operations.

Which locations need attention today?

Three sites moved to High priority overnight. The most urgent is a walk-in short cycling since 6:10 AM. The work order is assigned and a technician is dispatched.

Why was last month’s bill higher than the model?

It came in 9% above the model. RTU-2 used 30% more than its digital energy twin, and the exhaust fans ran past close four nights a week.

Did the fix on the walk-in hold?

Yes. The technician repaired a leak at the evaporator coil. The box was back under 41°F by 11:00 AM and has held steady since.

Which units should we plan to replace next year?

Four RTUs have Operations Scores under 70 and rising repair history. Two are the strongest candidates for replacement in the next budget cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, direct answers about facility performance

What does Actuate do?

Actuate delivers optimized facility performance for multi-location operators. Act Hub collects equipment performance data every minute from HVAC, refrigeration and the other systems a site runs on, identifies problems as they begin, and tells the operator what to do about them. Unlike a service provider that responds after a breakdown, Actuate works ahead of it: predictive diagnostics identify the likely cause before anyone is dispatched, and equipment performance data confirms the repair held. Answers, not just alerts.

What is facility performance?

Facility performance is how well a building’s equipment does its job over time, judged on three things: systems running as designed, energy managed rather than absorbed, and maintenance and energy costs that stay predictable. Unlike uptime or a single utility figure, it treats a building’s systems as one managed function. With Act Hub, facility performance is measured, so it can be managed strategically. Optimized facility performance is the state where all three hold across every location in a portfolio.

What is Act Hub?

Act Hub is the platform Actuate delivers optimized facility performance on. It reads equipment performance data at high frequency, scores every system on operations, comfort and energy, and surfaces only the sites that need attention with the next step attached. Unlike a building management system, it requires no capital project and no control-system replacement; unlike an alarm service, it explains what changed and why rather than only reporting that a limit was crossed. Not dashboards. Action.

Who is Act Hub built for?

Act Hub is built for operators running equipment across many locations with a lean central team: restaurant and QSR groups, convenience and retail chains, franchise operators and the facilities directors who support them. The model assumes nobody is standing in front of the equipment: the platform surfaces the handful of sites that need attention this week and leaves the rest running in the background. A small, lean team can cover hundreds of locations because Act Hub does the watching and diagnosing, so the team spends its time on judgment and action instead of on screens.

What equipment does Act Hub cover?

Act Hub covers the systems that carry the cost and the risk: rooftop HVAC units, refrigeration racks, walk-in coolers and freezers, compressors, motors and the electrical loads behind them. These are the systems Actuate’s equipment-level Maintenance Cost Baseline consistently finds at 50 to 65% of the repair-and-maintenance budget, which is why they are where the platform starts. Coverage is by system, not by sensor count, so a site is either fully instrumented for a system or it is not.

How is this different from a building management system?

A building management system controls a building from inside that building, and it is a capital project: controllers, wiring, commissioning, and a specialist to run it. Act Hub delivers the outcome a BMS is bought for, across a whole portfolio, without the capital or the complexity: it installs wirelessly, reads equipment performance data at high frequency, and reports centrally. A BMS tells a building what to do. Act Hub tells an operator what to do, at every site at once.

What results do operators see?

Comparable operators see 40 to 60% fewer emergency breakdowns and repairs completed 2x to 3x faster, because the problem is identified before a technician is dispatched and the fix is confirmed with data afterward. On cost, comparable operators see ranges of 15 to 30% maintenance savings and 10 to 30% energy savings. The operational change usually arrives first: fewer nights where a walk-in fails without warning, and fewer second trips for the same fault.

How long does it take to get running?

Installation runs about six to eight weeks from signature, wirelessly and without an IT project: no controllers, no conduit, no store downtime. Automated alerting and diagnostics delivered on the work order are live as sites come online, and the condition-based data behind repair-versus-replace decisions is available from signup. Full predictive capability across a portfolio is generally available within about 90 days of install.
