Using next-generation cold chain systems and new logistics to address various social issues

As a company whose goal is to build a new generation of cold chain platforms.We are pursuing the integration of refrigeration technology and logistics so that some of the current social problems can be solved from logistics. Our ideal cold chain network, which can be used by anyone in the world, regardless of their infrastructure conditions. Create a society where people can enjoy "cold storage happiness".

1. Avoiding the high cost of installing refrigerated warehouses, making the installation and use of refrigerated storage more flexible.

Cold chain systems, which have dominated logistics to date, consist mainly of large warehouses and refrigerated trucks, which bring with them very high set-up and maintenance costs that are prohibitive for many developing regions or small-load businesses.

We aim to decentralize the establishment of small-scale cold chain networks so that businesses, groups, individuals, etc., who are involved in the entire cold chain transportation chain from producer to consumer, have the ability to quickly set up the required refrigerated warehousing facilities at a low cost, supplementing the current cold chain system with full functionality, and stimulating a lot of potential value in the global economy by enabling more regions or business networks to have their own cold chain systems. (After all, there are some developing regions that have excellent products but unfortunately do not have the capacity to establish a proper cold chain network, which prevents them from accessing global markets.)

2. Minimize food loss due to long transportation distances

When transportation preparation times are long, food products are transported for longer periods of time, making them more susceptible to quality deterioration. Improper temperature control and problems such as delays or accidents during transportation can also lead to quality loss and spoilage.

Shorter transportation lead times may help reduce food loss. Shorter transportation time means that the food delivered is fresher, thus reducing the risk of quality loss and spoilage.

Through more flexible, small-scale decentralized cold chain measures, we are making it possible for remote areas and islands to have well-established transit and cold chain storage facilities, reducing the time food spends waiting for transport and continuously in transit, and reducing the loss of food in cold chain transport, so that people in these areas can enjoy marketed commodities more cost-effectively and conveniently.

3.New cold chain products to achieve these goals

When designing and developing cold chain system products, we not only consider the low threshold and convenience of use, but also temperature control technology, energy-saving and environmentally friendly design, data monitoring and management system in order to guarantee a high-quality new cold chain system.

New cold chain products need to have advanced temperature control technology, which can realize accurate temperature monitoring and regulation to ensure the freshness and quality of food during transportation and storage.

Adopt energy-efficient refrigeration technologies and materials to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact. Also vigorously develop off-grid refrigerated warehouse products based on renewable energy sources such as solar energy

Equipped with advanced data monitoring and management system while ensuring the above characteristics, realizing real-time monitoring and management of the transportation process, timely detection of problems and taking measures to protect the safety and quality of food.
