Optimizing frozen storage warehousing in an irregular landscape
To continue the growth of its distribution centers in the national logistics supply chain, Zero Mountain Inc. expanded its frozen storage and cooler capacity at its Fort Smith, Ark., headquarters facility.
The nation’s network of refrigerated and frozen distribution centers forms a logistical supply chain that is vital to today’s food safety. Yet, because of the high operational costs of freezing or cooling pallets of product within confined areas, every square inch of storage and every movement of product must be efficient. A challenge occurs, however, when frozen storage must be expanded across an irregular landscape that makes traditional, space-efficient, rectangular warehousing impossible.
To continue the growth of its distribution centers in the national logistics supply chain, Zero Mountain Inc. expanded its frozen storage and cooler capacity at its Fort Smith, Ark., headquarters facility. As a premium cold storage warehousing services provider to the food industry nationwide, Zero Mountain freezes, stores and ships an estimated 2 billion pounds of frozen food and meat annually for numerous Fortune 500 companies.
