Warehouses store more than just goods. Dust, dirt and harmful particles are more the rule than the exception
for logistics management companies. Besides truck traffic, sources of dust include goods handling, sorting
machines, street dust, and outdoor air pollution and pollen. Bacteria, dust, viruses and harmful particles
in the air can cause itchy eyes, headaches, blocked noses and can give rise to asthma and irritation of the
respiratory tract.
Poor IAQ control can also affect the goods stored inside warehouses. With stock moved on a daily basis,
stored components and other items soon gather dust. This can pose the risk of damage when the components
undergo further processing and even reduce your production yield rate.
Moreover, it is crucial to protect conveyor belts and packing areas from these contaminants to ensure smooth
operation. Equally important is safeguarding sensitive areas such as robot warehouses that rely on optical
sensors for functionality. These high-tech zones require stringent measures against particulate interference
to maintain optimal performance.
