Product Protection
Helps identify areas where stored products may experience unsuitable environmental conditions.
AMS Global Technologies provides thermal mapping services for warehouses, cold rooms, refrigerators, freezers, storage areas and refrigerated vehicles. Mapping studies help evaluate environmental distribution, identify critical locations and support reliable temperature-controlled operations.
Thermal mapping is a structured study used to evaluate how temperature, and where required humidity, varies throughout a controlled space over a defined period.
Multiple calibrated data loggers are positioned at selected locations and heights to record environmental conditions during normal operation. The collected data is then reviewed to identify distribution patterns, critical locations and operational risks.
A properly planned mapping study supports facility evaluation, storage decisions and ongoing environmental control.
Helps identify areas where stored products may experience unsuitable environmental conditions.
Mapping results support the selection of suitable locations for permanent monitoring sensors.
Helps assess whether environmental control systems maintain acceptable conditions across the usable space.
Supports corrective actions before temperature variation affects products, processes or storage operations.
Each mapping study is planned according to the facility type, dimensions, storage arrangement, operating temperature limits, loading conditions and routine operational activities.
Mapping studies for large storage spaces where temperature distribution may vary across height, width and depth.
Evaluation of refrigerated storage spaces used for products requiring controlled low-temperature conditions.
Temperature mapping for refrigerators used to store medicines, vaccines, samples, chemicals and food products.
Mapping studies for frozen storage equipment where product protection depends on stable low-temperature conditions.
Temperature-distribution studies for transport vehicles used in controlled-temperature delivery operations.
Mapping support for controlled environments used in laboratory, testing, production and storage activities.
Facilities with unusual layouts, multiple environmental zones or specialized operating conditions can be reviewed individually before the mapping protocol is prepared.
Each thermal mapping assignment is planned according to the facility layout, internal dimensions, storage arrangement, temperature limits, operational conditions and study objectives.
Facility type, dimensions, layout, operating limits, cooling arrangement, storage condition and routine activities are reviewed.
The study duration, logger quantity, monitoring interval, proposed positions and operational tests are defined.
Calibrated data loggers are identified and installed at selected positions and heights without disrupting normal facility operation.
Temperature and applicable humidity data are recorded throughout the planned study under the agreed operating conditions.
Recorded data is reviewed for distribution, excursions, critical locations, operational influence and technical conclusions.
Logger positions are not selected randomly. Placement is determined after reviewing the facility geometry, usable storage area, airflow, cooling system, doors, heat sources, shelving and product arrangement.
Mapping should represent the intended use of the facility. The selected study condition is agreed before installation.
Evaluation while the facility contains its normal or representative product load.
Evaluation before loading, commissioning or after a major change to the facility.
Reviews temperature response during an agreed door-opening or access challenge.
Evaluates temperature behavior during an agreed power interruption and subsequent recovery.
After the monitoring period, recorded data is downloaded, organized and reviewed against the agreed temperature or humidity limits and study objectives.
The analysis considers individual logger performance, distribution across the facility, critical locations, excursions, operational events and recovery behavior where applicable.
Deliverables are prepared according to the agreed study scope, facility type and required technical analysis.
Study objective, scope, logger placement, monitoring period, acceptance limits and planned operational tests.
Logger-wise summaries, graphs, distribution patterns, excursions and critical-location evaluation.
Generic position identification and facility placement records maintained as part of the project documentation.
Study summary, observations, conclusions and practical recommendations based on the recorded data.
Thermal mapping may be performed during initial facility evaluation, after significant operational changes or as part of an ongoing environmental-control program. The requirement depends on facility risk, application and performance history.
A mapping study can help evaluate environmental distribution before routine storage or controlled operation begins.
Changes to racks, shelving, partitions, product loading or usable storage height may affect airflow and temperature distribution.
Repair, replacement, relocation or modification of cooling, ventilation or airflow systems may require performance reassessment.
Repeated alarms, unexplained excursions or unstable monitoring results may indicate the need for a detailed distribution study.
Repeat mapping can support confirmation that facility performance remains suitable after continued operation.
A study may be planned according to internal procedures, product sensitivity, quality requirements or operational risk assessment.
Facilities affected by external climate may perform differently during warmer and cooler periods. Seasonal studies help determine whether environmental distribution remains suitable under contrasting operating conditions.
Helps review performance during periods of increased external heat load and cooling-system demand.
Helps evaluate facility behavior during lower external temperatures and different environmental conditions.
Walls, roofs, sunlight, doors and outdoor temperature may influence local conditions inside a facility.
Seasonal results can be compared to identify recurring patterns and changes in critical locations.
Re-mapping should be considered when a significant change may have altered airflow, heat load, storage configuration or environmental-control performance.
These answers provide general guidance about facility information, study duration, logger placement, operational challenges and final reporting.
Basic facility and operating details help prepare a suitable technical and commercial proposal.
Logger quantity depends on the facility dimensions, usable storage volume, number of levels, internal layout, cooling arrangement, doors, racks, airflow, risk locations and study objective. A placement plan is prepared after reviewing the available facility information.
Study duration is selected according to the facility type, normal operating cycle, product sensitivity, client procedure and required study objective. Large warehouses may require a longer monitoring period, while smaller equipment may be evaluated using a shorter period when technically appropriate.
Yes. Mapping can be planned under normal operating conditions so that product loading, staff movement, door opening, cooling cycles and routine activity are represented. Installation should be coordinated to avoid unnecessary disruption.
The selected condition depends on the purpose of the study. Empty mapping may support commissioning or evaluation before use. Loaded mapping helps assess performance during representative storage conditions. Both studies may be considered where operational risk requires comparison.
A hot spot is a monitored location that consistently records comparatively higher temperatures. A cold spot consistently records comparatively lower temperatures. Their significance is assessed against the required operating limits and complete study data.
Yes. Controlled operational challenges may be included where required and safe to perform. The duration, sequence, acceptance criteria and recovery review should be agreed before starting the study.
Seasonal mapping may be useful when facility performance is influenced by outdoor weather, external heat load, building construction or cooling demand. The requirement should be based on facility risk, previous results and the organization’s environmental-control procedure.
Mapping results can support sensor-location decisions. Permanent sensors are generally placed at representative or critical locations identified during the study, while avoiding positions that do not reflect actual product-storage conditions.
The report may include study scope, facility information, logger placement, monitoring period, operating observations, graphs, minimum and maximum values, distribution analysis, excursions, identified critical locations, conclusions and recommendations according to the agreed scope.
Facility layouts, site photographs, logger records, serial numbers, environmental data and final reports are treated as project information. Website samples use generic content, and actual project information is not published without authorization.
