So this has been bothering me for almost two years now and I think I finally have some answers. I run a small distribution setup in Ajman and every time summer rolls around I'd notice certain products arriving at clients looking warped, discolored, or just off in ways that were hard to explain. I assumed it was a supplier issue at first, honestly blamed them for a while, but eventually started suspecting it was something happening on my end during storage. A friend who's been in logistics here way longer than me pointed me toward stations.ae which had a really practical breakdown of tips for managing goods in high-temperature environments and a lot of it was stuff I genuinely hadn't considered, like how heat builds up unevenly across a warehouse floor depending on which wall faces the sun, and how stacking height actually affects temperature exposure more than most people think. I ended up rearranging my whole layout, moved sensitive stock toward the interior, added some reflective sheeting on the roof panels and the difference going into this summer has been noticeable. Not perfect yet but way better than before. Curious if anyone else here has experimented with layout changes specifically or if most people just rely on cranking the AC and hoping for the best.
