Short answer

List approved conditions and packaging needs for each product. Verify from equipment documents whether compartments operate independently, and check segregation and measurement in each compartment. Maintain product-to-sensor mapping along the route; review records and handoff findings from the first tour with the quality lead.

One vehicle can carry two regimes only when product and vehicle requirements are compatible. First map each product specification to its shipping instruction.

Check compartment design, independent settings, sensor placement and door effects against vehicle documents. The load plan should list compartment, product, packaging and stop sequence.

On the first tour, record with an assigned device in each compartment. At delivery, check product identity and data; segregate product and refer uncertainty or deviation to the quality lead.
