Introduction
Prepared for: Life Sciences Company

Date: January 26th, 2010

This report provides detailed information about the temperature mapping in which data was
collected for the winter season between January 1st and January 15th, 2010. It includes these
major sections:

Executive Summary Logical Freight Solutions high level overview of the mapping
period.
Temperature Results - The temperature results summarized and organised according
to location and placement level in the facility.
Multi-Graph and Summary Statistics - Graphical and tabular data used to analyse the
results and prepare this report.

Executive Summary

Overview
Logical Freight Solutions conducted a temperature mapping study from January 1st to January
15th, 2010. TempTale4 (TempTale) monitors were placed throughout the designated area
and recorded temperature levels for 14 days at 15 minute intervals.

A total of 20 TempTale4 temperature monitors were placed in and around the area on Friday,
January 1st. All 10 TempTales were recovered and are included in this report.

The data has been downloaded, analysed, and is used in this report to identify temperature
levels outside of the specified limits of 20C to 25C.

Objective
The objectives of the study were to:

Create a 14-day facility thermal map for the Life Sciences Company in areas where
product will be stored.
Characterise temperature variation from location-to-location within the mapped area.
Identify areas of the facility that are above or below the specified temperature range of
15C to 25C.
Provide data that enables Logical Freight Solutions to determine if the current
thermostat locations are appropriate and/or determine the ideal temporary placement
of stationary temperature recorders.

Process
A total of 100 TempTales were placed outside and inside the facility as seen in the Beverly, MA
Placement Diagram on page 6. All of the 10 monitors placed were recovered and are included
in this report. The TempTales began recording data on Friday, January 1st and continued
recording temperatures at an interval of 10.5 minutes for 14 days.

Area Low level Medium level High level Total

TempTales placed at low levels were located on the bottom level of product shelving.
TempTales placed at high levels were located on the top shelf. Monitors placed at other
were located between the bottom and top shelf, depending on shelving configuration. No
loggers were placed at a location higher than that at which product is stored.

The TempTales were stopped on January 15th, 2010. They were then collected and
downloaded into the TempTale Manager Desktop Software All temperature data was then
analysed and is presented in this report.

Mean Kinetic Temperature

Mean Kinetic Temperature (MKT) is defined as: the single calculated temperature at which the
total amount of degradation over a particular period is equal to the sum of the individual
degradations that would occur at various temperatures. Thus, MKT may be considered as an
isothermal storage temperature that simulates the non-isothermal effects of storage
temperature variation. It is not a simple arithmetic mean. MKT is calculated from
temperatures in a storage facility. MKT is calculated by the following equation (derived from
the Arrhenius equation):

MKT is a measure of positive deviation from a mean value. Therefore it should hold less weight
in a situation where the lower temperature limit is challenged.
