SCSC Perishable Center is adopting the IT Temperature Monitor System. It is designed to meet the needs for maintaining a controlled temperature environment on the perishable goods journey from grower to retail outlets. Hours spent in a substandard distribution warehouse may directly impact the available shelf life of the perishable product. Wholesalers on the other hand who can assure retailers that products are appropriately stored under controlled temperature conditions are far more likely to achieve a higher market price for their perishable product, as the retailer command a longer shelf life for the product and routinely face less spillage.
