The warehouse links deliveries and routes. Freshness in the machines depends on it.
An operator's warehouse should have zones for dry, chilled, and possibly frozen goods, with FEFO rotation – shortest-dated first. Picking for routes from telemetry data shortens loading.
Good practice
- Temperature zones.
- FEFO rotation.
- Route picking.
- Temperature logs.

FAQ
How does FEFO differ from FIFO? FEFO goes by expiry date, FIFO by arrival order.
Does a small operator need a cold room? If it sells chilled products, it needs proper conditions.
