Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The storage of the most dangerous products like explosives or flammable liquids should be stored at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can alter their stability and cause combustion or release of toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.

These fluctuations can often be difficult to identify, particularly during the busy hours of a day. This is why it's crucial that container terminals have an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers inside their facility. This allows personnel to react promptly to any anomalies and avoid any risk.
