Heat and handling vary by city, season and site.
Route definition
Record country, city, month, terminal and final delivery point.
Separate arrival, customs release and unloading in past trips.
Weather record
Keep official weather data and station for the relevant period.
Measure site sun, shade and wind separately if needed.
Receiver plan
Match delivery time to cold-room availability.
If unavailable, agree a slot and holding location beforehand.
Unloading
Plan product sequence and required door openings.
Record each opening's time and duration.
Pilot. Test a route with representative product and loading.
Record sensor location, start, arrival and door events.
Compare with product instructions; an empty-box test is insufficient.
