Cold rooms are crucial for maintaining the freshness of products from manufacture up to the point of the sale. These rooms are purposely kept cold to ensure freshness of perishable goods including fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, etc. These products would spoil and be un-safe for human consumption without cold room.

The importance of cold rooms in maintaining product freshness.

Cold rooms are essentially giant versions of refrigerators, used by supermarkets and restaurants to keep their perishables from spoiling. Products cooled in cold rooms may be kept fresh for an extended period and can be transported to distant locations without deteriorating. It's important because it means people can enjoy a wide range of fresh food all year round, regardless of where they live.

Advancements that protect the cold chain throughout shipment.

New Star has been in the forefront of pioneering new technologies helping to maintain the cold chain integrity within the wholesale supply chain. One of such innovations is colder chain vehicles with special sensors which are designed to track and control the temperature in which products are being transported. These sensors provide information in real time to a central monitoring system, so that we can follow the temperature of our products through every stage of the process.

The best methods to ensure temperature management and minimize product spoilage.

And to maximize temperature control and minimize damage, it is important to follow best practices, like how to pack, load and unload boxes. In order to preserve freshness, products must be returned in insulated shipping materials. Further, loading and unloading must be done efficiently so products are not outside the cold room and freezer room for long. This way, goods are kept at the correct temperature along the supply chain.

Why Cold Rooms Are Vital to Maintaining Food Safety.

So the thing with cold rooms is that they are an important part of keeping food safe from harmful bacteria that can give us some bad tummy aches. Products are retained at low temperatures to inhibit the growth of bacteria and to keep the products safe for consumption. This fact is particularly critical in the case of perishable products like meat and dairy, as unsafe storage conditions can attract bacterial contamination.

How tracking temperatures in real time adds transparency and efficiency to the supply chain?

Remote temperature monitoring is one of the biggest game changers in the logistics and supply chain and transparency in addition to efficiency. We can instead spot any temperature challenges in real time by tracking the product temperature and take the necessary action. At the level of detail in these systems, products are able to reach consumers in the highest quality, limiting spoilage, and increasing trust in the product quality. As a bonus, track-and-trace temperature logs help streamline supply chain processes, while saving time and money managing temperature problems on-the-fly.
