What happens when a reading is out of range

Updated 18/07/2026 · 3 min read

Rated5 opens a corrective action automatically the moment a storage reading falls outside its safe range, and walks whoever's on shift through it step by step.

1

The reading is flagged immediately

As soon as an out-of-range temperature is entered, its band shows amber or red on screen, and a corrective action opens automatically — no separate step needed to raise it.

2

Follow the guided steps

A short decision tree walks through what to check and do next — for a fridge running warm, that might mean moving stock, then calling an engineer if it doesn't come back into range.

3

Every step is recorded

Who did what, and when, is logged as you go, building a permanent timeline.

4

A manager or owner verifies it's resolved

Before it's closed, someone with the right role confirms it's genuinely fixed.

Tip: Corrective actions aren't only for temperatures — a failed checklist item, a rejected delivery or a failed probe calibration open the same guided process.
