Refrigerated/freezer storage and warehousing are very important for many kinds of food and other perishable goods. Everunion knows how important it is to keep things cold and safe. This writeup will talk about why cold storage solution is important for perishable goods, our methods of storing crucial materials in cold storage, benefits of one master storage, types of cold storage and the challenges we face plus the solutions in the cold storages industry.
Have you ever wondered how fruits, vegetables and meat remain fresh during their long journey? They are stored in cold storage facilities or warehouses that are equipped to maintain the appropriate temperature for the products. They do this by keeping food from decomposing or spoiling. Without cold storage and warehousing, it would be challenging to access fresh food year-round. You cannot eat strawberries in winter or eat only canned vegetables! Cold storage can give us access to a wider type of fresh foods no matter what the season.
Cold storage is not just for food; other sensitive materials need it as well. Some medicine, for example, needs to be stored in cold areas to be more effective, and staying at the correct temperature shapes their storage. Medicine that’s too hot may not work correctly. Blood and various medical supplies are stored cold for safety and effectiveness. That's really important because we need this stuff to be safe and actually effective, especially in the places that need it — like hospitals and clinics — to save lives." This is largely due to proper storage to ensure everything is kept in optimal condition when it is needed most.
Centralized warehousing = all goods in 1 principal place. The Point of Sale system is very helpful as it keeps us updated on what all items are in stock. When it’s all in one place, it’s easier to understand what you have available of each item. This helps businesses understand when they should order more materials. Moreover, with a centralized warehouse, products don't need to be transferred much; you could save a ton on transportation costs. The closer things are stored, the easier and cheaper it is to get them where they need to go. Finally, centralised storage ensures that everything in the warehouse is safe, clean and good quality as it is much easier to keep it clean.
Reefer containers - These containers are used to maintain the temperature of cargo while in transport. Everunion uses these containers to store items such as fruits and vegetables to ensure they remain fresh throughout their journey.
Cryogenic freezers – Cryogenic freezers maintain low temperatures to freeze products solid. They are typically used to store human tissue and other medical supplies needing to be kept at such low temperatures to be effective.
Controlling the right temperature One of the most complicated tasks in the cold storage and warehousing activity is the temperature control. Too high a temperature can ruin foods or make key materials ineffective. Luckily Everunion ensures that the temperature is always kept to a perfect degree thanks to their high-tech monitoring systems. These systems continuously monitor the temperature and notify staff if a problem arises. The second challenge is maintaining cleanliness and organization so that utensils are safe for use. Everunion can hire experts and utilize excellent equipment, which can help ensure that everything is in top condition. With the right training and tools, staff are able to maintain these storage facilities in a clean and organized manner.
