In Dire Conditions, Emerson Donated its E3 Controller System to the Food Bank of Alaska
Emerson’s E3 controller allowed the Food Bank of Alaska to become modernized with minimal repairs and upgrades, even in the harsh climate.
When COVID-19 began spreading across America, the Food Bank of Alaska in Anchorage quickly became overwhelmed. The organization had been making the best of outdated equipment in a remote location for many years, often dealing with breakdowns that led to significant losses of perishable food items. But, as the pandemic brought many longstanding issues to a head, it became clear that a permanent solution needed to be found.
Fortunately, a local retailer had moved a few years earlier, leaving a vacant building well-suited to the food bank’s growing needs. Using funds from the Cares Act, along with corporate and private support, a plan was launched to move the operation into a larger facility with more modern equipment.
