| |September 20199TEMPERATURE MONITORING AND CONTROL IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT ASPECT OF COLD CHAIN LOGISTICSreal-time basis and automatical-ly transmit the information to the concerned people (the send-er, the receiver, and the logistics provider). This enables the carrier and the receiver to verify product safety upon arrival. Failure to do so can expose them to claims or additional charges.Temperature Monitoring during TransitTemperature monitoring and con-trol is another important aspect of cold chain logistics. Variations in storage temperature during transit can affect the quality and safety of the products being transported. Temperature must be maintained at the required level throughout the journey to protect the quality of the prod-ucts and ensure their shelf life. Vaccines, for instance, are easily perishable, and temperature fluc-tuations can easily affect their potency and safety. Transport-ing them from the manufacturer to the beneficiaries in pristine condition is vital for the success of immunization programs. It is also extremely challenging.Now-a-days, shippers often use remote management sys-tems that enable them to monitor the temperature, humidity, and the location of the reefers used for transporting their products. These units are often equipped with GPS-based devices that pro-vide regular updates during the journey and inform the shipper of issues that arise along the way. Temperature Control during Stor-age in WarehousesEnsuring that temperature re-mains stays is relatively easy for a small area such as the inside of a truck, but much more difficult for larger areas like a warehouse, where many kinds of problems could arise. Inconsistencies in temperature may result from `hot spots' caused by the obstruction of air circulation by shelves or racks. Temperatures also tend to be different in different parts of the warehouse depending on the presence of things such as elec-trical or mechanical equipment, heaters or coolers, doors or bays.
