According to Frederick Wu, President and CEO of DeltaTrak, “FlashTrak PreCool Prime not only gives you more turns per tunnel, but also saves energy and labor costs. Streamlining your operations with an automated system means pallets aren’t kept in the cooler longer than necessary, which saves on electricity; and monitoring internal product temperature in real-time from a cloud-based dashboard will eliminate manual labor for taking temperatures.
Precool Prime iToken Label
This system has the added advantage of pallet level traceability by attaching a Cold Chain iToken label to each pallet and scanning the barcode to associate the pallet to a tunnel number and the pre-cool data. The Cold Chain iToken can also associate the pallet and pre-cool data to a PTI label (Produce Traceability Initiative), or other identification, such as lot code or order number.
FlashTrak PreCool Prime allows cooler operators to narrow the window of time it takes to remove field heat from produce, which maximizes quality and shelf life. They know exactly when to pull pallets from the cooling tunnel without taking manual pulp temperatures or estimating time. The system records data and archives it for traceability, analysis, audits and verification of compliance with GHP (Good Handling Practices).
