Chill Picking 3PL warehouse operations including those involved the handling of fresh, chilled or frozen meat, seafood or poultry – be they manufacturers, distributors or 3PL Logistics businesses – face some of the most unique and stringent handling challenges of any industry. Unpreserved product has only a relatively short life storage life. Perishable products must be refrigerated, frozen, dried promptly, or cured. The handling of such products is particularly prone to the growth of micro-organisms that can result in foodborne illnesses, or even death. Consequently, strict regulation and legislation must be adhered to in all regions.
Challenges in Chill Picking Food Warehouse Operations:
 
 
Microorganism growth is a temperature-dependent process, temperatures must be maintained, and a full audit trail of temperatures kept. Such products are usually variable weight items until in retail packs. Products can arrive fresh on mixed pallets, can be blast frozen mixed, sorted by SKU by Best Before Date or kill date, stored at -18°C or less, and shipped frozen or be tempered – or even microwaved – before shipping. And operators must, at all times, be able to demonstrate complete traceability throughout the entire process.
