A fridge can tell you its temperature. But who's watching when things go wrong? 👀❄️
This week's cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration systems in France is a serious reminder of how quickly temperature failures can turn into massive food losses.
Some refrigeration units reportedly reached 50°C, leaving supermarkets with spoiled products and costly consequences.
And here's where IoT monitoring can make a difference. 📡
With independent temperature sensors connected to Datacake, businesses can:
🌡️ Monitor actual temperatures 24/7, beyond the refrigeration controller.
🚨 Trigger automatic alerts when temperatures exceed safe limits.
📲 Notify the right people so they can respond quickly.
📊 Track temperature history and document excursions.
An IoT monitoring platform won't prevent a cyberattack. But an independent monitoring setup can provide an additional layer of visibility when something goes wrong.
