the back up of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to meet such unforeseen dangers.

Infrared thermometers or other


sensors help to record the temperature.

If manufacturers of temperature-sensitive products don’t have storage equipment needed to keep their products cold,
they’ll have to outsource their cold chain operations to a partner who can provide the necessary equipment. Some common
types of cold storage equipment and facilities include refrigerated containers, cold rooms, chillers, cold boxes, and also
vaccine carriers.

When preparing products for a refrigerated shipment, consider the following:

Cargo should be pre-cooled to the required temperature before being moved into the reefer container.
Additional setting requirements such as dehumidification control, fresh air ventilation and controlled / modified
atmosphere, if necessary.
Maximum shelf life and transport time to plan ahead.
Required documentation, legal restrictions and other rules and regulations for customs and legal authorities.
Volume and weight of the goods for documentation and respecting safety limits.
General stowage instructions.
Optimum packaging material and cartons for perishable cargo.

HOW TO CONTROL TEMPERATURE


Maintaining the correct temperature is a key aspect of a cold chain. Imagine your perishable goods at home – your
refrigerator is your chilled warehouse to keep temperature-sensitive goods safe for a specific duration. It offers different
areas to store goods– vegetables, cheese, beverage and frozen goods are not in the same compartment. On a larger scale,
industry constantly improved technology and processes over decades to provide reliable temperature controlled
environments.
