Fisher Construction Group's award-winning project is an advanced, large-scale automated cold-store facility, which is the biggest in Indiana and one of the largest in the United States.
With more shipments coming and going, loading dock and freezer/cooler doors are opened more often, resulting in more opportunities to break the cold chain.
The impact of storage temperature on water holding has been studied for several decades, and previous research has indicated that storage temperature can impact beef color stability and water capacity ultimately impacting product yield and consumer appeal (Hertog-Meischke et al., 1998; Jeremiah and Gibson, 2001).
Planned facility in Kansas City, Mo., will bring together cold storage and value-added-services with expedited intermodal transportation solutions connecting markets in the Midwest and Mexico.
