How to respond to temperature excursions in cold storage
A practical overview of what teams should do when monitored values move outside the accepted range.
Temperature excursions are not just technical events. They are operational events that require a clear response.
What is a temperature excursion?
A temperature excursion happens when storage conditions move outside the defined acceptable range for a product or process.
