    COLD CHAIN LOGISTICS COMPONENTS

    1.

    REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

    The refrigeration system is a crucial component of cold chain logistics, designed to maintain specific temperature conditions for perishable goods during storage and transportation.

    2.

    INSULATED PACKAGING

    Insulated packaging refers to the special packaging used to maintain a consistent temperature range for products that are sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

    3.

    COLD STORAGE FACILITIES

    A warehouse/facility with an air conditioning or refrigerant circulation system. It can effectively control temperature, humidity, and air circulation to ensure that the goods are kept fresh and hygienic during storage.

    4.

    TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED TRANSPORTATION

    During the entire transportation process, whether it is loading and unloading, changing transportation methods, replacing packaging equipment, etc., the transported goods must always be transported at a predetermined temperature.

    5.

    REAL-TIME TEMPERATURE MONITORING

    Technologies such as sensors and IoT devices are used to continuously monitor temperature conditions. Data is collected and analyzed to ensure compliance with temperature requirements throughout the logistics process.

    TYPES OF COLD CHAIN LOGISTICS TRANSPORTATION

    Refrigerated Vehicles

    REFRIGERATED
    VEHICLES

    Refrigerated vehicles are conventional vehicles (mainly trucks or vans) that are equipped with the necessary cooling systems and/or refrigeration units.

    Shipping Container

    PASSIVE
    SHIPPING CONTAINER

    Also known as a passive thermal or refrigerated container,  a passive shipping container is capable of transporting temperature-sensitive items without relying on active power-driven refrigeration systems. Instead, these containers utilize insulation and thermal materials to maintain a stable internal temperature.

    Shipping Container

    ACTIVE
    SHIPPING CONTAINER

    An active shipping container functions similarly to that of the passive shipping container. However, these are much larger and are powered by internal batteries or onboard power supply of the carrier vessel. These containers are essential for products that require strict temperature control, such as pharmaceuticals, perishable foods, and biological materials.

    Import & Export Customs Clearance

    TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED
    AIR FREIGHT

    While significantly more expensive, temperature-controlled air freight is one of the most popular methods of cold chain transportation owing to its high speed and low geographical restrictions.

    Why Cold Chain?

    Quality Preservation

    QUALITY PRESERVATION

    The quality and condition of food and pharmaceutical items can be dependent on the maintenance of environmental factors like temperature and humidity.  Regardless of freight method (sea freight or air freight), cold chain is vital in ensuring that cargo quality is not compromised during transit.

    Regulatory Compliance

    REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

    Many industries, especially pharmaceuticals, are subject to strict regulations regarding the storage and transport of temperature-sensitive products.

    Import & Export Customs Clearance

    GLOBAL TRADE

    Cold chain logistics enable the international trade of perishable goods, allowing for a wider distribution and availability of products.

    Seasonal Availability

    SEASONAL AVAILABILITY

    Cold chain allows for the storage of seasonal products, making them available year-round and stabilizing market prices for both consumers and producers.
