Food safety in the warehouse is important. NewCold strives to be crucial in the cold chain of leading food companies, by offering advanced logistic services worldwide. We use latest technology that empowers our people, to handle food responsibly and guarantee food safety in a sustainable way.
Temperature Integrity
NewCold sites are operated at the required temperatures from door to door. Not just the warehouse where the pallets are stored has the optimum temperature for the produce, but all areas in the facility are at the same prime conditions. From the moment a pallet enters the warehouse until it is loaded again to be shipped to a customer, it is in handled at the right temperature. No cold chain breaches occur as products are never stored in chilled or ambient environment.
Oxygen Reduction System
At all facilities NewCold has modern systems in place to prevent damage because of a fire. The highly automated cold stores are fully unmanned and can therefore be equipped with Oxygen Reduction Systems. With this preventive technology the oxygen level in the room is reduced to a level where no fire can start. From a product safety point this principle is far more favorable than firefighting systems like sprinkler or fire compartments.
Software
NewCold’s proprietary warehouse management system by Davanti makes it possible to comprehensively track and trace inventories, by directing all flows (automated and manual) in the warehouse with optimal speed, efficiency and reliability. This complete trackability and traceability provides customers with a significant reduction in ‘shrinkage’ from lost and/or outdating of product.
Little Human Intervention
Although automation is not a goal by itself, many, mainly repetitive processes, are automated to minimize the human intervention. This eliminates an important source of product damage, results in a more reliable and predictable operation which again is positive for food safety.
