With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for cold chain logistics is growing. China's cold chain logistics market is expanding year by year, and the cold chain logistics industry is developing with the times. So, what is cold chain logistics? What are the distribution modes? This article will be specifically sorted out.

Cold chain logistics

1. Cold chain logistics

Cold chain logistics refers to the systematic engineering of keeping refrigerated products in a low-temperature environment at all stages of production, storage, transportation, sales and pre-consumption to ensure product quality and reduce the loss of goods.

Cold chain logistics is established with the progress of science and technology and the development of refrigeration technology. It is a low-temperature logistics process based on refrigeration technology and using refrigeration technology as a means. It is a special form of logistics, which requires special equipment, attention to the transportation process, time control and type of transportation, and the logistics cost accounts for a very high proportion of the cost.

Cold chain logistics should follow the "3T principle", that is, the final quality of the product mainly depends on the development of cold chain storage and circulation time (time), temperature (temperature) and product storage resistance (tolerance).

2. cold chain delivery mode

(1) Distribution: In the cold chain logistics manufacturing industry, the more common is the distribution of enterprises, supermarket key service providers, supermarket distribution base, food chain logistics distribution centers, aquatic products and other four types of customers.

(2) E-commerce: The key to this model is the development trend of aquatic products, which is a new model. If the construction of the logistics model, as an e-commerce platform logistics and distribution system, is the development trend of aquatic enterprises. In addition, improve this logistics model to show the cold chain logistics service to the customers in need. The meaning of SF Cold Transportation and Lai Bird Cold Chain Logistics.

(3) storage type: That is, the definition of refrigerator, this model at this stage of Swire cold chain logistics and Pfeiffer rapid development trend, at this stage can be used as a means of manufacturing. However, the current situation is that the scale of China's refrigerated warehouse operations exist in manufacturing assets with low profitability, fewer resources and other issues, without the formation of specialization, industrialization, systematization, integrated development.

(4) Supply chain type:To put it bluntly, supply chain type refers to the tightly focused on key enterprises, according to the manipulation of information flow advertising, logistics, cash flow, show from procurement to the terminal equipment of ultra-low-temperature transportation, production and processing, warehousing, logistics, distribution services, and shipment of goods to the customer through the distributor's Internet. To summarize, that is to say, dealers, manufacturers, logistics providers, distributors connected into a whole network structure. This operation mode is excellent, which is only prevalent in China in the past two years.

(5) Comprehensive type: dominated by comprehensive management business workflow such as practicing ultra-low temperature warehousing, traffic line transportation development and its influence on city construction and distribution, which means that the Chinese enterprises are China Merchants Co-operation Meilian, Shanghai Guangde, Beijing Zhongleng and so on. And a single cold chain logistics service enterprises bring not the same, its business activities process can be more general, involving warehousing, transportation and distribution and other different areas.

(6) Transportation type: The key is ultra-low temperature transportation business process, including transportation routes, regional distribution and city distribution. At present, China's cold chain logistics manufacturing industry operates according to this model, i.e., the enterprises are Shuanghui Logistics, Rongqing Logistics, Zhongrong Logistics and so on

(7) Platform type: This mode refers to the cold chain logistics resource platform transaction based on Internet big data, Internet of Things, IT technology, combined with logistics finance, commercial insurance and other personalized services. The key reason for the development trend of this model is that the manufacturing industry does not have a platform that combines resources and technical expertise, information asymmetry within the manufacturing industry, and unscientific resources. The development trend platform model and resource aggregator are conducive to delivering reasonable information content to the manufacturing industry to meet the requirements of the sales market development trend. Market demand and its own development trend are interdependent, and cold chain logistics is industrialized and standardized nationwide. Utilizing intelligent technology, the distance between the relevant staff and enterprises in the cold chain logistics manufacturing industry is brought closer.
