Eliminate Cold Chain Wastage
More than 200 million containers carry perishablefoods across the
oceans every year. Temperature and humidity control are critical
requirements to ensure that the food arrives at its final destination in
perfect condition. Tracing and logging that data is now a prerequisite for
compliance to food safety programs.
Langmead Farms produce leafy salads in the UK and Spain. Clare Rapa,
Technical Manager is all too familiar with the stringent controls needed
to be able to supply the major supermarkets. “This is an exceptionally
competitive market to be inand Langmeads have always maintained an
innovative approach to every stage of the supply chain.” Clare continues
saying, “Whilst there are initial costs to be absorbed in embracing new
technology, we believe that the long term investment is extremely
worthwhile if means ensuring that quality produce is delivered to a very
demanding public time after time.”
Today’s consumers expect fresh fruit and vegetables of their choice
throughout the year which obviously extends shipping and transit times.
With
Tinytag data loggers, temperature
and humidity can be recorded and logged to preset parameters and any
fluctuations can be identified at any given time of a typical journey in
the cold food chain.
The Tinytag Plus Loggers ensure that top quality is delivered to Langmead
and that any potential waste from rejected deliveries is eliminated.” For
the Farm group, competitiveness holds the key to future success in their
market and the company’s significant growth can be directly attributed to
the innovation and skills of their technical team.
Intab has been a major supplier to fresh produce for many years and supply a range of loggers, probes and software in line with the ever-changing demands of the
industry.
