� Uninterrupted Temperature-con trol and int egrit y in a series of st orage & dist ribut ion act ivities

� Example: for every hour fruits or vegetables is

exposed in ambient t emperat ure (28°c), it may ‘costs’ one day in shelf life.

� Text ure of I ce- cream w ill change when exposed

t o t emperat ure due t o cryst allization.

� Dairy product w ill t urn bad when exposed t o

t emperat ure due t o bacteria act ivities .

Therefore, t here can never be a break in cold chain

at any st age

ENSURING COLD CHAIN INTEGRITY

WHAT MATTERS

Pre-plan on the incoming shipment with suitable

unloading bay, manpower and equipment.Waiting Time

Unloading/ unstuffing goods within the set time frame with proper handling equipment .

Waiting Time

Online l ive viewing temperature records and system alert on fluctuation in temperature higher than set

level.

Track ability

Traceability

Using Double Door system and proper seal/covered room to avoid high fluctuation of temperature at

every area.

Temperature Intergrity

Enforce the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to ensure proper handling of equipment and goods.

Awareness

Knowledge

GPS & GPRS- based technology to track & monitor temperature within the trucks.

Transparency

Trackability

Pre-inform customer on the arrival time and request

for the priority lane in order to shorten the unloading time at customer site.

Waiting Time

4 Keys area to ensure cold chain integrity :

�TIME- Handling the goods within the set time frame following proper SOP.

�ACTIVITY- Proper equipment to manage activity in temperature controlled area.- Proper area for managing picking and repacking activities

�TRACEABILITY - Barcode system implemented to record all the activities flows and data.

- Ability to track and trace back during product recall protocol

�TRACKABILITY - Better tracking of cold room temperature with Live temperature report and

system alert during temperature fluctuation above normal level.- Live temperature report and temperature data recorded based on GPS/GPRS technology during transportation for better monitoring.
