Temperature-Zone Management

Right zone. Right first time.

Clarus WMS routes every line to the correct chilled, frozen, or ambient location and keeps it there with live checks. Orders integrate seamlessly with temperature-controlled areas, preserving quality, safety, and compliance while simplifying the day.

Clear segregation.

Live, compliant control.

Correct storage by zone.

The old way vs Clarus.

Spreadsheets got you here. They won't get you further.

Before

Storage zones drifted from plan, chilled and ambient could mix

Putaway decisions ignored temperature, product ended up in the wrong zone

Reconfiguring zones meant ripping up the layout and retraining the floor

Misplacements and door-open risks went unnoticed until it was too late

After

Products bind to compliant zones, storage can’t drift from the plan

Clarus suggests the correct zone and bay from the first scan

Zone groupings adjust in seconds, no layout rip-up or retraining

On-device warnings block misplacement and door-open risks in real time

How it works.

Start seeing results straight away.

Precision in temperature-controlled storage.

Group products by chilled, frozen, or ambient requirements and bind them to compliant locations. Safety and quality rise because storage can’t drift from the plan.

Temperature-managed putaway and reallocation.

From the first scan, Clarus suggests the correct zone and exact bay. If capacity shifts, safe alternates are proposed automatically to keep product protected without stalling the shift.

Zone update for chiller zone 2 showing 12 locations reassigned for seasonal demand, live in under a minute with no layout rebuild or retraining.

Create and change zones in seconds.

Adjust zone groupings and location memberships via a clean interface. Optimise energy use or reconfigure for seasonal demand without ripping up your layout or retraining the floor.

Active error prevention with live warnings.

On-device prompts block misplacement, flag door-open risks, and prevent ambient lines entering chillers or vice versa. Operators get clear guidance. Supervisors get fewer incidents.

Fix cold-chain risk at the source. Work smarter.

Cold storage fails when decisions happen at the aisle. Clarus brings Temperature-Zone Management into the flow of work. Products carry zone attributes. Locations belong to governed groups. Scanners enforce the rules with instant warnings if an item strays outside its range. Putaway, replen, picking, and staging all respect the cold chain automatically. The result is safer handling, fewer errors, and stock that arrives in peak condition.

QUESTIONS BUYERS ACTUALLY ASK.

Frequently asked questions

How does the system stop the wrong item going into the wrong zone?

Each SKU carries a required zone. Locations belong to a zone group. At putaway, replen, and pick, scanners validate the pairing and block out-of-policy moves with a clear alternative.

Can we change zones without downtime?

Yes. Reassign racks or aisles between chilled, frozen, and ambient groups in the UI. Tasks immediately respect the new policy, so you can flex capacity fast.

What about energy optimisation?

You can consolidate slow movers to fewer chilled bays and switch others to ambient where safe. Policies update in seconds, helping reduce run-costs without risking quality.

How is compliance evidenced?

Every movement is timestamped with user, location, and zone. Export movement histories and exception logs to prove the product stayed within its required conditions.

Does this slow down pick rates?

No. Guidance is embedded in normal tasks and removes aisle-level debates. When bays are full, compliant alternates appear instantly, keeping flow steady.

Can zones differ by customer or site?

They can. Apply global standards, then tailor per customer or facility. Templates make it simple to replicate best practice across buildings.
