You are right. But also, authentication in a distributed industrial infrastructure is hard, and it is not really a solved problem. You would need to set up a public key infrastructure, giving each shop clerk, service worker, and manager a smart card, revoking them when they leave, recover lost access credentials, and so on. For every class of devices.
And it gets even more difficult if you want machines to securely talk with each other (think in administering every smart home thing un your house with a smart card…).

No. Controlling and monitoring the fridge and freezer temperature is not something left to non-technical people. Set up a company-wide VPN system, and make it secure. Run those services from a centralized place, with the control systems disconnected from the internet outside the VPN. Run separate VPNs for financial systems, orders, company emails, and you are as set as one could expect.
