Cold Chain Solutions

Posted by Rahul on February 10th, 2018

Cold chains are common in the food and pharmaceutic industries and also in some chemical shipments .  Unique to fresh produce cargoes , the cold chain necessitates to additionally keep product specific environment parameters which admit air quality levels ( carbon dioxide , oxygen , humidity and others ) , which makes this the most complicated cold chain to run .  It is also important to have a correlated chain of custody for the full life cycle of a product , so there is confirmed evidence as to whom had control of the product throughout the lifecycle of the product , up to the concluding users consumption of the product . Cold chains necessitate to be measured and controlled . During the distribution process one should supervise that process until one constructs a sufficient data set that clearly shows the process is in compliance and in a state of control .

Cold chain logistics solutions are becoming more advanced to run into the increasing complexities and scale of the cold supply chain in clinical trials .  Sensor , mobile , cloud and analytics technologies are becoming uncommitted that will enable great visibility and control of cold chain supplies throughout the cold supply chain of custody . This is particularly utile for high-value or controlled substances . By aggregating data from depots , shipments and sites , it will be potential to acquire a consummate picture of the status and journeys of medication kits , enabling rolled up temperature ( average energizing temperature ) / other environmental factor management , so that you have an exact assessment of drug quality before distributing to patients .

It is difficult to set a figure to how much food is lost and wasted in India today ascribable to miss of equal infrastructure , however , a 2011 report by a UN body , FAO , puts wastage in fruits and vegetables as eminent as 45 % of produce ( post-harvest to distribution ) for developing Asiatic countries like India . Integrated cold chain solutions : Crystal Group supplies customized solutions for cold storage and refrigerated transportation across India for bracing and rooted commodities . Lack of cold storage infrastructure : India’s current cold storage capacity at 25 MT is barely sufficient for 10 % of fruit and vegetables produced in the country . Skewed distribution of capacity : Skewed distribution of this capacity is another issue , with North India having access to 60 % of the entire storage infrastructure . Reducing the information asymmetry : riding on the eminent nomadic penetration in rural India , Reuters Market Light and Fasal Intuit are working on the problem of information asymmetry for agrarian producers , by making individualized agrarian market information uncommitted to the farmers at minimum costs , through a nomadic established service .

Pharmaceutical products , food , chemical products and electronics are just a few examples of goods that can be impacted throughout the supply chain by environmental factors such as temperature , humidity and light as well as shock , vibration and pressure . To guarantee that cargo does not go discredited or compromised throughout the distribution journey , businesses are increasingly trusting on advanced cold chain monitoring technology to assist pull off delivery of the high quality goods .

Technology and globalization have bettered cooperation and cohesion of the planetary community , making the comparative distance between regions littler while the forcible distances stay a challenge . Products have turned more advanced and governmental regulations more complex , and at the same time , products are being transported across great distances than ever before
