Abstract

Systems and methods to provide environment control to individual containers of a storage system may include a distribution network including one or more sources, distribution lines, valves, sensors, and storage positions. The distribution network may be operated to provide air flow having desired environment attributes to individual storage positions that include supply and/or return lines and associated valves. Insulated containers having input and/or output lines and associated valves may couple to the distribution network upon placement at the storage positions, thereby providing air flow with desired environment attributes to individual insulated containers and associated items. Further, non-insulated containers may also be placed at the storage positions of the storage system without connecting to the distribution network.
