How Do We Keep the Cold Chain Intact at Control Terrestre?

How does the cold chain work? By María Gamba In the logistics world, the cold chain represents a fundamental challenge when dealing with sensitive products like food, medicines, flowers, cosmetics, or chemicals. At Control Terrestre, we know that a single temperature error can compromise the quality of an entire load. That's why we have developed a rigorous system to keep the cold chain intact from the point of origin to the final destination. What is the cold chain and why is it so important? The cold chain is a logistics process that ensures certain products are transported and stored within a controlled temperature range. This chain must remain uninterrupted, as a break can generate economic losses, health risks, and affect the supplier's reputation. Our pillars for an effective cold chain 1. Certified refrigerated units We have a fleet equipped with advanced refrigeration technology, capable of maintaining temperatures ranging from -20°C to +8°C, according to product needs. Each unit undergoes preventive maintenance to ensure optimal performance throughout the journey. 2. Constant and real-time monitoring We use geolocation systems and real-time temperature monitoring. This allows us to verify at all times that goods travel within established parameters. In case of any variation, our operations team acts immediately to correct the problem. 3. Specialized staff training Our operators and loading personnel are trained in good practices for handling refrigerated products. From loading to delivery, every step is aligned with specific protocols to avoid temperature fluctuations and guarantee product integrity. 4. Logistics time control We know time is critical. That's why we design strategic routes to minimize stops and waiting times. We coordinate loading and unloading schedules to reduce product exposure to the exterior and avoid breaking the thermal chain. 5. Contingency protocols In case of eventualities like delays, weather changes, or technical failures, we have contingency protocols, replacement units, and strategic alliances to respond immediately and protect the load.
