While it's unfortunate that it's happening, if a large portion of your inventory depends on regulated temperature, perhaps you should've disconnected your refrigeration from the internet by now?

While I totally understand the need of remote controlling some kind of freezer units, please explain for me, why on the earth do a grocery store need online freezers? The shops are usually open and have on-place human staff 7 days a week, 10-16 hours a day.

Centralized monitoring, so you can check if the local staff are doing their job properly, and in an ideal world, detecting performance degradation so you can schedule maintenance before they break.

Sounds legit, thanks! I am wondering then what is a good solution for this kind of issues? A physical switch on the freezer that enables/disables remote control over remote monitoring? However the operators will leave this switch on for convenience.

Why would you design a freezer to be set to 50 degrees Celsius?

> One Swedish store on Monday said on social media that the temperature of its refrigerators and freezers had been set to 50 degrees Celsius (122 F), similar to the attack in France.
