Beat the summer heat. Keep the cold chain intact.

The challenges of summer push food safety to its limits. Testo’s smart measurement solutions help you stay in control — even under the  most demanding conditions.

testo Summer Cooling 2026

High temperatures. High demands.

Take control of this summer's challenges.

Summer is here—and with it comes the most demanding period of the year for food safety and HACCP compliance. As temperatures rise, the pressure on the entire cold chain increases. Refrigeration systems are pushed harder, weak links become more critical, and the risk of food waste rises. At the same time, vacation periods and staff shortages can create additional challenges in day-to-day operations. We help you meet the challenges of summer with smart measurement and monitoring solutions that give you control, ensure food safety, and keep your business running—even when the workload is at its peak.

Summer Challenge #1

Break in the cold chain

summer-cooling-2026-challenge-1

Numerous transfer points, different product groups, varying packaging, and distinct temperature requirements for refrigerated and frozen goods make the cold chain a complex process. During the summer, the challenges increase even further as high temperatures put a strain on the entire chain.Areas without active cooling, such as loading docks, transshipment terminals, and receiving areas, are particularly critical.

Manual checks and paper-based documentation are often too slow to detect deviations in time, which increases the risk of temperature deviations and spoilage. With Testo’s connected measuring instruments, you can detect deviations faster, reduce the risk of human error, and ensure an unbroken cold chain.

Summer Challenge #2

Cooling Systems Under Pressure

Summer Cooling Challenge 2

High outdoor temperatures place a heavy strain on cooling systems in vehicles, warehouses, and retail environments. As temperatures rise, cooling equipment must work harder to maintain the correct temperature, which increases the risk of both overcooling and insufficient cooling.

The consequences can include higher energy consumption, reduced efficiency, inconsistent temperature control, and, in the worst case, quality losses or food waste.

Temperature mapping allows critical areas to be identified, weak spots to be detected, and the placement of temperature sensors to be optimized. The result is better conditions for reliable monitoring and stable temperature control—even during the most demanding periods of summer.

Mapping-Sum-Cooling

We map your facilities

We conduct on-site temperature mapping at your facility to identify temperature variations in cold rooms, warehouses, and other temperature-sensitive environments. By identifying critical areas, we create the right conditions for optimal sensor placement, reliable monitoring, and a more secure cold chain.

Summer Challenge #3

Increased risk of food waste

Summer Cooling Challenge 3

As summer temperatures rise, so does the risk of food spoilage in retail, logistics, and the restaurant industry. The heat reduces the margin for error throughout the cold chain—and even minor temperature deviations can quickly affect product quality and safety.

With real-time monitoring, smart alerts, and automated documentation, Testo’s stationary monitoring solutions help you detect deviations in a timely manner and ensure quality in all temperature-sensitive processes.

Smart climate monitoring with connected data loggers.

Climate monitoring that takes care of itself. The connected data loggers in the testo 16x logger system are connected to a cloud service for real-time monitoring, easy documentation, and full traceability.

With automatic data logging and alerts via push notifications or email, you get a reliable monitoring solution that works in the background. The result is less administrative work, full traceability, and easy access to the documentation required for audits and inspections.
