The Efficient Ways to Manage a Cold Storage
Warehouse
2
The evolution of a cold storage warehouse
started only when it was figured out that some
food and materials can be preserved inside a
freezer.
3
That is the reason for the construction of big
warehouses having good amenities for cold storage
goods and products.
4
As cold storage is the requirement of diverse
industries, it is quite essential to design an
absolutely efficient and cost-effective cold
storage warehouse.
5
Here are some efficient ways to manage a cold
storage warehouse with minimum operational cost
and maximum profit.
6
Proper distribution of space
7
Generally, the cold storage warehouses maintain
different temperatures as per the requirement of
the products.
8
This is because not all the products need the
same amount of freezing in order to stay fresh
and if an item requiring mild coldness is kept in
a deep freezer, then it could get spoiled.
9
So, proper distribution of space is important in
order to maintain multiple temperature zones
within the warehouse.
10
Ideal storage system
11
The drive-in or drive-through pallet racking
system is the best choice for cold storage as it
provides the maximum use of the available space
in the warehouse.
12
It implements the concept of FIFO that is first
in, first out and can be fairly used for
tracking product movement throughout the
warehouse.
13
And this limits the condition of an item to get
spoiled for being stored for a very long period
from its day of arrival.
14
Product handling
15
Rough handling will result in rips and tears in
the packages and expose them to the non-sterile
atmosphere that encourages damage.
16
Ensure none of your shipments land with tears or
harm to the packaging and they were kept at a
predictable temperature amid the whole delivering
process.
17
Even the scarcest change in temperature can
extraordinarily expand an item's odds of
deterioration and should be expelled from coming
into contact with alternate items.
18
Quality of incoming products
19
When the products are set up for being stored in
the warehouse, they must be properly checked in
terms of their temperature and quality before
preserving them in the cold storage.
20
It is very much significant to detect the bad
products as they will not only get worse in due
time but also affect the health of the other
products in the cold storage.
21
Therefore, it is better to weed out the bad
quality products before they occupy space in the
warehouse.
22
Maintenance
23
Temperature and humidity are the prime factors
which determine the freshness and quality of the
frozen product.
24
Always keep a track of the temperature in the
cold storage and use of alarms can alert
immediately to any change in temperature or
humidity across a specific zone.
25
So, significant attention must be given towards
the maintenance of the cold storage warehouses.
26
At last,
27
The cold storage warehouses are a critical part
of the food supply and logistics and hence,
requires special care to ensure a safe and
durable freezing system.
28
And at the same time, there must be energy
conservation, effective space utilization, safety
and comfort of the people working in the
warehouse.
