Claim 13:
14. A controller for a refrigerated display case, the controller comprising processing circuitry configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving operational data comprising an operational status of components of a plurality of refrigerated display cases and an ambient temperature reading from an ambient temperature sensor proximal the plurality of refrigerated display cases;
determining a limp level based on the operational data received from the plurality of refrigerated display cases, the limp level defining a cooling status of each of the plurality of refrigerated display cases, the limp level based on: i) an operational capability of each of plurality of refrigerated display cases to achieve a desired cooling and ii) an assigned priority level for each of the plurality of refrigerated display cases, the assigned priority level comprising a degree of criticality of the respective refrigerated display case;
identifying, based on the limp level and the ambient temperature, an operational cooling parameter for each of the plurality of refrigerated display cases, wherein the operational cooling parameter indicates an amount of cooling or a corresponding cooling operation for each refrigerated display case; and
operating each of the plurality of the refrigerated display cases using the operational cooling parameter.
