Companies in the cold supply chain need to keep their temperature-sensitive products safe at the storage facility, during transportation and at the final destination. Cold chain storage can be complicated, leading to significant consequences if your company is unprepared.
The following are some of the most common challenges of cold storage:
A refrigerator or freezer can become damaged if heavy machinery impacts the door or hinges in the warehouse. This damage presents various problems for cold storage. If the unit can’t maintain a specific temperature, the products inside may spoil, causing safety issues and financial loss.
Cold supply chains are for products sensitive to temperature fluctuations — the conditions must stay consistent throughout transportation to ensure the product is safe. If your cooler goes out, your business will likely lose products, reducing your profitability.
Temperature-sensitive products must be kept at an appropriate temperature at all times, including during transportation. Cold chain storage requires specialized vehicles with refrigeration and freezing capabilities. Your business will need to purchase and maintain these vehicles, buy fuel, and hire and train drivers. You’ll also need to optimize the route — inefficient routes or unexpected travel delays may cause the product to spoil.
Damaged refrigerators, improper cleaning techniques and mismanaged temperatures can cause mold and mildew to grow inside the unit. These microbes can impact product quality, causing spoilage or safety concerns.
