Recent cyberattacks targeting refrigeration controllers in French supermarkets have highlighted a risk that often goes overlooked: the dependency between refrigeration control and food quality monitoring.
If a controller is compromised or misconfigured, both its operation and its alarms may be affected.
A second dashboard displaying the same controller data does not eliminate that dependency.
At Axino, we believe quality management needs its own source of temperature information, independent assessment criteria, and monitoring that continues during defrost cycles.
We’ve published a short position paper examining recent refrigeration incidents, the risks of shared dependencies, and how independent, product-specific temperature monitoring can help retailers detect and respond to problems.
