The definition of cold chain logistics
Cold chain logistics (ColdChainLogistics) refers to refrigerated frozen foods in the production, storage and transportation, sales to all aspects of the consumer will always be in front of a predetermined low temperature environment, in order to ensure food quality and reduce food losses in a systematic project. It is with the progress of science and technology, refrigeration technology development and set up, based on refrigeration technology-based, low-temperature refrigeration technology as a means of logistics process.
Cold Chain Logistics Scope
Scope includes: primary agricultural products: vegetables, fruit; meat, poultry, eggs; aquatic products, floral products. Processed foods: frozen food, poultry, meat, fish and other cooked food packaging; ice cream, dairy products, chocolate, snack raw materials. Special goods: medicines.
Cold Chain Logistics Value
1, to extend the shelf life of fresh refrigerated longer than an ordinary one to several times the storage to the appropriate price listed for sale, a high profit
2, to reduce the amount of product loss by controlling the circulation of fresh temperatures reduce microbial growth and food spoilage, reduce losses
3, a library swing frame extended by a gas adjustment method, suppress postharvest respiratory status, so as to achieve the effect of fruit and vegetable preservation
4, adjust the temperature, humidity adjustment method by the gas, so fresh in a dormant state library after library still maintain the original quality

IT is the nervous system of modern cold chain logistics, information platform by the support system, easy to implement all the resources of the enterprise strategic collaborative management, cold chain logistics to reduce costs, improve cold-chain logistics enterprises in market competition, improve cold-chain logistics management level.
Cold chain logistics information system technologies include the following key aspects: information collection and tracking technology, information transmission and exchange of technology, information processing technology.
6, cold chain transport
Cold-chain transportation is an important part of cold chain logistics, cold chain transport costs high, and includes a more sophisticated mobile refrigeration technology and manufacturing technology incubators, cold chain transport management includes more risks and uncertainties. Cold chain transport (Cold-chaintransportation), refers to the whole process of transportation, whether it is material handling, change the mode of transport, replacement of packaging equipment and other sectors, are maintained so that the transport of goods transport of certain temperatures. Cold chain transport can be road transport, sea transport, rail transport, air transport, integrated transport mode can also be composed of a variety of modes of transport.
