Temperature-controlled zones at Meridian Fulfillment Center protect
perishable and sensitive inventory from degradation.

**Zone Classifications:** Ambient zones (15-25°C) handle general merchandise.
Cool zones (2-15°C) store pharmaceuticals, certain food items, and temperature-
sensitive electronics. Cold zones (-2 to 2°C) handle fresh produce and dairy.
Frozen zones (-18°C or below) maintain frozen goods. Each zone has separate
refrigeration systems and monitoring.

**Temperature Monitoring:** Continuous monitoring systems record temperatures
at multiple points within each zone. Alarms trigger when temperatures drift
outside acceptable ranges. Automated alerts notify maintenance and operations
immediately. Temperature logs are retained for regulatory compliance and customer
reporting.

**Cold Chain Protocols:** Items requiring cold chain integrity move quickly
through the facility. Receiving prioritizes temperature-controlled shipments
for immediate putaway to cold zones. Picking batches cold items last to
minimize exposure. Packing uses insulated containers and gel packs for outbound
shipments. Dwell time outside controlled zones is tracked and limited.

**Personal Protectments:** Cold zone workers wear appropriate PPE including
insulated jackets, gloves, and head coverings. Exposure time is limited to
prevent cold stress. Warming breaks are scheduled for extended cold work.
Equipment operating in cold zones has cold-rated batteries and lubricants.

**Emergency Response:** Refrigeration system failures activate emergency
protocols immediately. Backup generators support critical refrigeration loads.
If temperatures cannot be maintained, product is transferred to backup storage
or disposed of per quality guidelines. Customer notification occurs for any
product potentially exposed to temperature excursions.
