Context:

Cinemex has been automating its processes across its cinemas, with much of this automation achieved through CIELO solutions. While CIELO has streamlined many complex tasks, some simpler albeit prone to errors such as checking each auditorium to turn off lamps/lights off when no tickets were sold, remained manual and dependent on the memory and availability of staff at each site.

Solution:

To improve efficiency and significantly save money in this simple yet important task, Cinemex decided to activate CineStop in its 250 cinemas. This feature automatically turns off the lamps in each auditorium when no tickets are sold.

“With CineStop, we not only save significant energy and money, but we also extend the life of our equipment by avoiding unnecessary use. It also allows our staff to focus on other tasks without needing to check each function manually, said Eder Suarez, Assistant Manager of the Projection Monitoring Center at Cinemex”

Extended Equipment Lifetime:

By ensuring equipment only runs when necessary, Cinemex has reduced wear and tear, leading to maximized efficiency and longer-lasting performance.

As a result, they gain an additional 2 weeks of equipment lifespan per auditorium each year.

Improved Margins from Day One

Cinemex leverages the full CIELO package, which offers multiple solutions and features.

With CineStop alone, they saved $14,500 across 2,395 screens in just one month, reducing energy consumption and xenon lamp usage, boosting margins from day one.
