In the ever evolving world of logistics and supply chain management, cold storage warehousing plays a pivotal role in maintaining the quality and safety of perishable goods. Such facilities are responsible for storing a wide range of temperature-sensitve products, from fresh produce to pharmaceuticals, at the approprate temperatures to maintian product quality and extend their shelf life.
As with any warehousing environment, there are challenges, most notably, of finding the right balance btween optimised storage capacity and order processing efficiency, as well as keeping staff comfortable and protected, to enable them to work effectively in a cold storage facility.
It comes as little surprise that for cold storage operations we are seeing an increase in the integration of fully automated storage, pick and replenishment systems which are particularly well suited to both compact and cool environments. Automation offers high density storage and efficient pick rates at the same time minimising the number of stagg required to work in cooler temperatures.
