Distributed points of issue
Refrigeration and hot-holding technology is spread across multiple canteens, buildings, and cook-and-chill kitchens—without a central overview, every serving point remains an island.

The challenge
Multiple locations, sensitive supply chains, strict compliance requirements
School catering means hot and cold at the same time: Cook-and-chill meals must be kept refrigerated at all times, while hot meals must be kept sufficiently warm—often across multiple canteens and serving points. At the same time, food safety regulations and school authorities demand seamless documentation. Manual temperature logs are time-consuming, prone to gaps, and difficult to verify during audits.
02
Reliable Temperature-Controlled Supply Chains
Maintaining temperatures below the recommended +65 °C or interrupted cooling compromises hygiene and quality. With visual inspections alone, deviations are often detected too late.
03
Proof of compliance for funding bodies and authorities
School authorities, parents, and food safety inspectors expect seamless HACCP documentation. Paper lists are time-consuming to maintain and vulnerable during audits.

Reports can be exported by cafeteria and time period—ideal for audits, school authorities, and food safety inspections.
Which devices in school kitchens and cafeterias can I connect?
Refrigeration and deep-freeze cells, combi steamers, food distribution and hot-holding trolleys, and many other devices. Thanks to open protocols and sensors, Kibi Scada is manufacturer-independent—even existing equipment can be integrated without new purchases.
