Do you say that as a supermarket manager, or a random person on an Internet forum? Because if it's the first, I'm very interested in hearing more on how you actually manage all the devices in your store and which ones require remote automation and which ones don't.
Automation doesn't require connecting to Internet.
Wow lots of supermarket managers on hn today
It will typically require some kind of network. And the person managing it will need access to that network.
It’s hard running that type of network securely, and costly to run it alongside a normal internet connection.
Cheaper to just use the internet connection and squint a bit at ‘securely’.
Is it really that hard to isolate some devices from the internet on an existing network?
