{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"FIFO stock rotation in cold storage","description":"When perishable goods enter cold storage, the FIFO rule – First In, First Out – governs the pick sequence: the earliest-received lot must leave the facility before any newer stock, preventing silent ageing past the expiry date. Warehouses enforce this through drive-through racking systems, zoned storage layouts, or warehouse management systems that automatically surface the oldest batch at pick time.
