Maintaining product quality and preventing spoilage are primary concerns in these temperature-controlled shipping processes. Monitoring can determine whether the temperature is within or outside the acceptable range for specific products. Adjusting temperatures and shipping methods in response will limit the health risks and potential liability issues from consuming spoiled goods.
Temperature monitoring is also essential from a compliance perspective. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other agencies implement stringent guidelines when transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Maintaining the appropriate conditions can help your business avoid financial penalties.
Additionally, temperature monitoring can prevent waste from compromised goods becoming unsalable during transit.
