Want to lower your expenses while streamlining operations? Improving warehouse efficiency can make a big impact—especially when you’re dealing with perishable goods. Better warehouse efficiency reduces waste and makes it easier to act quickly when opportunity strikes.
And if your operations are based in the Midwest, the best way to improve efficiency is by partnering with Interstate Cold Storage.
Interstate Cold Storage leads the industry with advanced technologies, exacting quality control, and 24/7 monitoring to ensure your products are stored under ideal conditions.
Maintaining the right temperature is critical for the integrity of perishable goods. Our state-of-the-art, temperature-controlled storage facilities keep your products at optimal temperatures, extending shelf life and reducing spoilage. This commitment to protecting your inventory not only safeguards product quality but also cuts down on waste to align with sustainability goals.
Efficient inventory management is the backbone of any successful warehouse operation. Interstate Cold Storage employs cutting-edge real-time inventory tracking and RF barcode scanning technologies. EDI inventory management systems are essential parts of our cold storage solutions, providing accurate, up-to-the-minute data on stock levels, locations, and movements, enabling faster decision-making and reducing the risk of stockouts or overstocking.
Because energy consumption is a major operational cost for warehouses, our refrigerated warehousing facilities are designed with energy efficiency in mind. We use advanced insulation materials, energy-efficient lighting, and smart climate control systems to help reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and minimize our environmental impact.
As part of our commitment to streamlining and optimizing warehouse efficiency and cold chain logistics processes at our Columbus I facility, we recently invested in two state-of-the-art lift trucks.
Director of Operations Don Chambers best stated the significance of our investment. "While the addition of these lift trucks may seem incremental, the impact is far-reaching. This advanced equipment allows us to handle products with heightened efficiency, meeting the dynamic demands of our customers and contributing to substantial operational dividends."
This is the second strategic upgrade to our refrigerated warehousing equipment in recent months, following the successful implementation of new forklifts at our Columbus II facility in October. These upgrades are part of our drive to improve warehouse efficiency and operational excellence.
Today’s modern warehousing depend heavily on automated storage solutions to rapidly complete a variety of tasks faster and more cost-effectively than with human labor. Automation also elevates conditions for workers inside of facilities because the most dangerous and physically demanding jobs are completed by machines.
Interstate Cold Storage offers a range of automated cold storage solutions, including automated retrieval systems and robotics. These technologies streamline the storage and retrieval process, enhance accuracy, and significantly reduce labor costs.
In order for cold storage solutions to be truly efficient, they need to be considered as part of the entire supply chain with effective logistics at every step of the way. Our logistics optimization services focus on streamlining transport routes, reducing delivery times, and improving overall supply chain efficiency. Our holistic approach ensures that your products reach their destinations on time and in perfect condition.
