-The cold storage facility is divided into functional areas with each zone serving to support operational processes.
-Install automatic palletizing solutions designed for harsh freezer environments. This technology enables palletizing to be done inside the freezer without the use of protective shroud.
-Being able to control heat loss as high density storage tends to create a smaller area to cool and being able to develop an environment that can minimize heat loss. Since food is one of those areas in cold storage where air can escape, it is extremely beneficial to keep this area as small as possible.
