Food distribution and cold storage

Distribution centers and cold stores don't run batch processes, but they share the food industry's need for temperature records and dependable equipment.

Where controls help

  • Cold-chain monitoring. Continuous temperature monitoring of freezers, coolers and docks, with alarms and records that support FSMA sanitary-transportation and customer audit requirements. Food-safety records →
  • Refrigeration and utilities. Visibility into compressors, condensers and energy use, often the largest operating cost in a cold store.
  • Conveyors and material handling. Drives, motor control and safety components that keep product moving.
  • Power distribution and protection. Reliable electrical infrastructure for facilities that can't afford to lose temperature.
