China’s Chengdu Qingbaijiang Cold Chain Logistics Park has been constructed and is already active, providing e-commerce firms with integrated cold chain logistics services. In addition, the third phase of the Chengdu Yinli Agricultural Products Cold Chain Logistics Centre was started last month.

The Qingbaijiang sector of Chengdu’s national backbone cold chain logistics hub has already placed around 1.55 million cubic metres of cold chain storage into service, with numerous significant cold chain projects underway. Nearly 100 facilities with a construction increase of 10,000 cubic metres are planned to be erected over the next three years, driving the growth of Chengdu’s national backbone cold chain logistics hub.

At the Chengdu Qingbaijiang Cold Chain Logistics Park, cutting-edge innovations are on display in a single-story, high-density, and high-standard three-dimensional cold storage facility. The magnificent warehouse has a 17-metre ceiling, covers nearly six stories, and is home to hundreds of tonnes of reserve beef as well as neatly arranged steel frames. It has several cutting-edge characteristics and is Southwest China’s first high-standard thermal insulation warehouse.

A 10,000 square metre warehouse with a fully enclosed loading and unloading platform, a low-temperature hallway, movable three-dimensional shelves, high-rise electric forklifts, infrared sensor quick opening and closing doors, a 24-hour monitoring system and a cloud warehouse temperature control platform are all included in the warehouse.

It also boasts various digital systems including a smart security system. This warehouse stands out from conventional cold storage because it uses a cutting-edge external wall insulation system that guarantees stable insulation and sustained operational excellence.

Temperature levels in storage facilities and delivery vehicles can be monitored and controlled by digital sensors and IoT devices. Thus, the freshness and shelf life of the items are preserved, and the necessary temperatures are maintained throughout the distribution process.

By providing precise demand forecasting, optimising inventory levels, and reducing overstocking or understocking, digital technologies can assist reduce food waste. This helps create a cold chain distribution system that is more environmentally responsible and durable.

Further, higher-quality urban cold chain distribution services may increase efficiency, improve product quality, boost customer satisfaction, and take a more sustainable approach to food delivery by utilising digital innovation. The result of these developments is a more dependable and effective supply of perishable items in metropolitan areas, which benefits both businesses and consumers.

Chengdu believes that in terms of effectiveness, precision, scalability, real-time monitoring, data management, collaboration, customer experience, and innovation, digital technologies provide a substantial advantage that promotes organisational growth and success.

In addition, the complex is constantly flooded with cold chain logistics vehicles from across the nation, which causes a busy traffic situation inside the park. In Southwest China, Chengdu Yinli is renowned as a major distribution hub for frozen livestock and poultry products, aquatic products, dry goods, non-staple food items, fruits, and vegetables.

The completion of the third phase of the project, according to reports, will raise the entire park. It will include functions such as intelligent storage, production, processing, and urban distribution into its functioning. This will strengthen and broaden the industrial chain.

Reports also stated that the public will be able to enjoy even higher-quality urban cold chain distribution services in the future. During the succeeding building phases, the distribution centre intends to integrate sophisticated technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) identification, automatic unloading, and automated handling to improve the park’s intelligence and modernisation.
