As a key node of cold chain logistics, cold chain logistics center needs to deal with the storage and sorting of a large number of goods, which has high requirements on the efficiency and cost control of cold storage shelves.
Efficiency improvement: The automated storage system reduces the sorting time
In cold chain logistics centers, the high frequency of goods handling and strict sorting efficiency requirements make traditional shelving systems and manual sorting methods inadequate for rapidly evolving logistics demands. Automated vertical storage systems effectively address these challenges. These systems integrate high-rack shelves, stacker cranes, conveyor belts, and control systems to achieve automated storage and sorting through computerized control. Stacker cranes efficiently navigate between shelves, accurately storing or retrieving goods upon command. Compared to conventional shelving, automated vertical systems significantly enhance storage density and sorting efficiency. Case studies show that after implementing such systems, a cold chain facility reduced sorting time by approximately 40%, enabling faster response to customer orders while improving delivery timeliness and accuracy. Additionally, these systems support 24/7 continuous operation, minimizing operator fatigue and errors, thereby boosting overall logistics center efficiency.
Cost control: The library shelf integration mode saves the construction cost
Cost control remains a critical consideration in cold chain logistics center construction. The integrated rack-and-structure model stands out as an effective cost-saving solution. This innovative approach seamlessly integrates shelving systems with building frameworks, where storage units not only hold goods but also support structural loads. Compared to traditional separate rack-and-structure configurations, this model significantly reduces material consumption and construction costs. By eliminating redundant internal supports, the integrated design creates a more efficient cold storage space that facilitates cargo handling and enhances spatial utilization. A case study demonstrates this model reduced construction costs by approximately 15% compared to conventional methods. Furthermore, its superior structural stability adapts to complex refrigeration environments, minimizes maintenance needs, and ensures long-term operational reliability for cold chain logistics centers.
