The food supply chain
Increased Globalisation
▪ the food supply routes are increasingly long-distance and multi-modal
▪ presenting challenges to maintaining optimal temperature control during
▪ storage
▪ handling
▪ distribution
▪ across a wide range of different temperature ranges according to the products specifications
Temperature Controlled Conditions▪ fruit and vegetables
▪ meats and fish products
▪ milk and dairy products
▪ readymade dishes, finished convenience food
▪ frozen food like ice-cream or frozen pizza
▪ Flowers and pharmaceuticals
Title
▪ Point 1
▪ Point 2
▪ Point 3
▪ Point 4
Temperature Controlled Logistics▪ These products are stored in different
temperature ranges from roughly -25°C to +25°C according to product specifications in
▪ Ambient
▪ Chilled
▪ Frozen
▪ And all required ranges in between - areas of the temperature controlled warehouse
Temperature Controlled Logistics▪ From the cold store the goods are then
transported with refrigerated transporter to a distribution centre or directly to the retail facility / supermarket
▪ E-commerce and now players like Amazon Fresh present new challenges for temperature controlled logistics
Temperature Controlled Logistics
▪ All chilled and frozen food as well as temperature-controlled pharmaceutical products are stored in a cold store at least once during their journey from production to the consumer
Temperature Control along the supply chain
▪ Has a major impact on the quality and safety of food and pharma products
▪ Maintaining a consistent optimal temperature throughout the food supply chain extends shelf life, enhances food safety and prevents food waste
▪ In the pharma cold chain, reliable temperature control becomes ever more critical to provide safe products
Temperature Controlled Logistics
▪ ECSLA Member companies are a crucial link in the food supply chain connecting
▪ producers and processing companies with
▪ retailers and
▪ ultimately with the consumer
