The pharmaceutical and food industries are heavily regulated — now more than ever. How food and drugs are stored — often in large mission critical warehouses — isn’t just a matter of public safety; it very well can be a matter of life and death.
Because of the importance of these industries for life and health, it is a bit of a surprise to learn that other mission critical facilities, such as data centers, are often more sophisticated than some food and pharma warehouses in their approach to planning, maintaining, and measuring temperature controls. Often, the warehousing segment of the food and drug industries ends up leasing space in a facility originally intended for storing non-temperature-sensitive products like toys or toilet paper.
