Abstract
The food supply chain industry often uses large scale industrial refrigeration systems with high installation and maintenance cost. In the same time, there are no permanent installations of systems that will monitor the parameters of the refrigeration systems and predict a malfunction (e.g. cooling fluid leak) or even improve the efficiency in order to reduce its power consumption. For example, a refrigeration system that contains 1500kg of cooling fluid will need 7500€ more electrical power if its efficiency drops by only 10% due to fluid leak.
