### Shut down totes when not in use

Phononic's solutions can adapt to fluctuations in demand, giving you the ability to turn off totes when not in use – something not possible with traditional freezers and refrigerators. This flexibility helps ensure that energy for cooling is only used as needed, significantly reducing energy consumption and operational costs. It also helps grocers better manage inventory and reduce waste.
