What is the difference between cold chain logistics and ordinary express delivery?

Cold chain logistics is a special form of logistics that is used to transport goods that are perishable, soft or need to be stored at a specific temperature range. Cold chain logistics usually involves many different technologies, including refrigeration, cooling, preservation of freshness, and insulation. Cold chain logistics has the following differences compared to regular express delivery.

Transportation Development Route: enterprises usually involve multiple transshipments, which require us to strictly manage and control the transportation temperature, so the transportation route and time issues are more complicated.

Transportation mode: Cold chain logistics usually adopts special refrigerated trucks or reefer trucks to ensure stable temperature of goods during transportation.

Price: The cost of cold chain logistics is higher than that of ordinary express delivery, because we need to use specialized refrigerated trucks or refrigerated trucks, and to improve the transportation development process enterprises need students to carry out multiple transshipments.

Logistics process:The logistics process of cold chain logistics is much more complicated than ordinary express delivery, because we need to carry out multiple transshipments of the goods and need to frequently monitor the temperature of the goods.

Service scope:The service scope of cold chain delivery is usually smaller than that of ordinary express delivery because the transportation route and time of refrigerated trucks or reefer trucks are longer than that of ordinary express delivery trucks. Cold chain logistics refers to the logistics model that ensures the temperature of goods during the logistics process. Common cold chain commodities include food, medicine, cosmetics and so on.

When carrying out cold chain logistics, attention should be paid to the following aspects: Selection of transportation mode: Cold chain logistics is usually transported by special refrigerated trucks, which are equipped with refrigeration system and heat preservation function to ensure that the goods in transportation maintain the required temperature. Choice of Transportation Route: Transportation in hot or humid places should be avoided as much as possible so as not to affect the quality of the goods. Cargo Packaging: Special cold chain packaging materials should be used for cargo packaging to ensure the temperature stability of the cargo during transportation. Cargo monitoring: A temperature monitoring system should be used to monitor the cargo in real time so that temperature abnormalities can be detected and corrective measures can be taken in a timely manner. Transportation personnel training: Cold chain logistics transportation personnel should receive professional cold chain logistics training and know how to properly handle cold chain cargo.
