What is a Logistics Cold Storage

 

 

Logistics cold storage refers to the specialized storage and transport of temperature-sensitive goods, such as food, medications, and chemicals. It relies on various equipment, technologies, and procedures to maintain the item's required temperature. By regulating the storage environment, companies within the supply chain network ensure that products maintain quality, safety, and integrity until they reach their destination.

 

Advantages of Logistics Cold Storages
 

Reduced Product Loss
One of the primary advantages of cold chain logistics is reducing product loss. By maintaining the right temperatures throughout the supply chain, perishable goods are less likely to spoil or degrade. Reducing product waste significantly lowers companies' costs.

 

Extended Shelf Life
Another important benefit is the extended shelf life of products. Storing and transporting items like food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals at the correct temperatures increases their longevity. It allows products to stay on shelves for longer periods, giving consumers access to fresh and effective goods.

 

Enhanced Public Safety
Cold chain logistics also enhances public safety. Proper temperature control prevents the growth of harmful bacteria and other pathogens in food and medical supplies, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses and ensuring that medicines and vaccines remain effective.

 

Compliance with Regulations
Compliance with regulations is another critical benefit. Many industries, such as food and pharmaceuticals, are subject to strict temperature control regulations. An effective cold chain helps companies meet these regulatory requirements, avoiding legal issues and potential fines. It also builds trust with customers and partners, who can confidently see that we handle and deliver products safely and correctly.

 

Improved Quality Control
Effective cold chain logistics improve quality control by maintaining consistent temperatures throughout the supply chain. It makes sure that products arrive in optimal condition, preserving their quality, taste, and effectiveness. Consistent temperature control reduces the chances of variation in product quality, which can be especially important for high-value goods such as speciality foods and biologics.

Key cold chain technologies that provide a temperature-controlled environment during transportation
 
 

Dry ice
Solid carbon dioxide is about -80°C and is capable of keeping a shipment frozen for an extended period of time. It is particularly used for the shipping of pharmaceuticals, dangerous goods, and foodstuffs and in refrigerated unit load devices for air cargo. Dry ice does not melt. Instead, it sublimates when it comes in contact with air.
Gel packs. Large shares of pharmaceutical and medicinal shipments are classified as chilled products, which means they must be stored in a temperature range between 2 and 8°C. The standard method to provide this temperature is to use gel packs or packages that contain phase changing substances that can go from solid to liquid and vice versa to control an environment. Depending on the shipping requirements, these packs can either start off in a frozen or refrigerated state. Along the transit process, they melt to liquids, while at the same time capturing escaping energy and maintaining an internal temperature.

 

Eutectic plates
They are also known as "cold plates". The principle is similar to gel packs. Instead, plates are filled with a liquid and can be reused many times. Eutectic plates have a wide range of applications, such as maintaining cold temperatures for rolling refrigerated units. They can also be used in delivery vehicles to keep the temperature constant for short periods of time, a process that can be suitable for deliveries in noise-sensitive areas or for night deliveries.

 

Liquid nitrogen
An especially cold substance, of about -196°C, used to keep packages frozen over a long period of time and mainly used to transport biological cargo such as tissues and organs. It is considered as a hazardous substance for the purpose of transportation.
Quilts. Insulated pieces that are placed over or around freight to act as a buffer in temperature variations and to maintain the temperature relatively constant. Thus, frozen freight will remain frozen for a longer time period, often long enough not to justify the usage of more expensive refrigeration devices. Quilts can also be used to keep temperature-sensitive freight at room temperature, while outside conditions can substantially vary (e.g. during the summer or the winter).

 

Reefers
The generic name for a temperature-controlled transport unit can be a van, small truck, semi-trailer, or standard ISO container. These units, which are insulated, are specially designed to allow temperature-controlled air circulation maintained by an attached and independent refrigeration plant. A reefer is, therefore, able to keep the cargo temperature cool and even warm. The term reefer increasingly applies to refrigerated forty-foot ISO containers, with the dominant size being 40 high-cube footers (45R1 being the size and type code).

Products That Require A Logistics Cold Storage
 

 

Artwork
Temperature control is important for artwork to avoid fading or damage to the paint, especially if it's an older piece.

 

Plants
Cut plants are more likely to last and remain vibrant in a cooler environment.

 

Candles
Wax is prone to melting when exposed to hotter temperatures. Cool storage allows candles to keep their shape, color, and quality.

Film

Old-fashioned film canisters that are sensitive to temperature. To avoid damaging the film and preserve the tape, it should be stored in a cold environment.

Cologne

Cologne will retain its scent longer if stored in a cold environment (though perfume should be stored at room temperature).

Cosmetics

Most cosmetic products will last longer if they're stored in the cold, especially products such as lipstick.

Seeds

Most types of seeds, if kept in a moisture-proof container, will have a longer lifespan if they're kept in cold storage.

 

How Do You Reduce Waste and Spoilage in Cold Chain Logistics
 

 

1

Monitor and control temperature
One of the most important factors in cold chain logistics is maintaining the optimal temperature range for each product throughout the journey. Temperature fluctuations can cause spoilage, contamination, or degradation of the goods, resulting in wasted resources and customer dissatisfaction. To prevent this, you need to monitor and control the temperature of your cold chain facilities, vehicles, and containers, using sensors, data loggers, and smart devices. You also need to train your staff on how to handle and store the goods properly, and follow the best practices for loading and unloading.

2

Choose the right packaging and insulation
Another way to reduce waste and spoilage in cold chain logistics is to choose the right packaging and insulation materials for your products. Packaging and insulation can protect the goods from external factors, such as humidity, light, and shock, and also help maintain the desired temperature level. However, not all packaging and insulation materials are suitable for cold chain logistics, as some may be too bulky, expensive, or unsustainable. You need to consider the characteristics, requirements, and shelf life of your products, and select the packaging and insulation materials that are durable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly.

3

Optimize your routes and schedules
A third tip to reduce waste and spoilage in cold chain logistics is to optimize your routes and schedules. The longer the goods stay in transit, the higher the risk of exposure to adverse conditions, delays, or accidents. Therefore, you need to plan your routes and schedules carefully, taking into account the distance, traffic, weather, and customer demand. You also need to coordinate with your suppliers, carriers, and customers, and communicate any changes or issues promptly. By optimizing your routes and schedules, you can reduce the transit time, fuel consumption, and carbon footprint of your cold chain logistics.

4

Implement inventory management and traceability systems
A fourth tip to reduce waste and spoilage in cold chain logistics is to implement inventory management and traceability systems. Inventory management and traceability systems can help you track and manage the quantity, location, and condition of your cold chain goods, from the source to the destination. They can also help you identify and resolve any problems, such as shortages, excesses, or damages, and improve your decision making and forecasting. You can use various technologies, such as barcodes, RFID, GPS, or blockchain, to implement inventory management and traceability systems for your cold chain logistics.

5

Adopt circular economy principles
A fifth tip to reduce waste and spoilage in cold chain logistics is to adopt circular economy principles. Circular economy principles aim to reduce the consumption of resources and the generation of waste, by designing, producing, and using products that are reusable, recyclable, or biodegradable. By adopting circular economy principles, you can not only reduce the environmental impact of your cold chain logistics, but also create new value and opportunities for your business. For example, you can use renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, to power your cold chain facilities and vehicles. You can also use waste or by-products from your cold chain goods, such as food or organic matter, to create new products, such as compost or biogas.
