Cold chain warehousing faces unique challenges that require specialized intelligent solutions to ensure product integrity and safety. At Mushiny, we understand that the special environments of cold chain warehouses (from refrigerated to ultra-low temperatures) pose challenges beyond those in other industries. Therefore, we focus on the following key points to create an intelligent warehousing system suitable for the cold chain industry:
Temperature Environment:
Ultra-low temperatures present significant challenges for intelligent warehousing systems, particularly affecting the hardware and software of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and management systems. AMRs in cold environments require specially designed components such as cold-resistant batteries, motors, and sensors to maintain efficiency at low temperatures; standard lubricants may thicken or freeze under such conditions, which must be considered in AMR design. Software algorithms must also adapt to slower operational speeds and potential delays caused by the cold. Additionally, enhanced safety monitoring and fault diagnosis become crucial for quickly identifying and resolving any malfunctions caused by low temperatures. These challenges need comprehensive consideration to ensure the overall performance and reliability of intelligent storage solutions in ultra-low temperature settings.
Efficiency and Accuracy:
Products in cold environments often have varying expiration dates requiring meticulous date management to enhance picking efficiency and accuracy.
Mushiny’s tailor-made AMR/Pod-based solution utilizes a state-of-the-art robotic WMS system specifically designed for cold chain logistics to automate cold storage warehouses. Mushiny has developed many partnerships within the global cold chain industry. Our collaboration with Monde Nissin in Australia involves managing both chilled and frozen spaces within their Melbourne warehouse. This solution has enhanced inventory visibility, enabled effective expiry date management, and significantly improved picking efficiency and accuracy; another successful implementation at a pharmaceutical cold storage facility in Beijing, China addressed challenges such as recruiting operational staff for cold environments through automation—reducing labor input, saving land costs, and enhancing overall automation as well as labor efficiency. The facility operates across temperature zones from -20℃ to -5℃, demonstrating our system’s robust capability in handling extreme conditions.
Mushiny is confident in its ability to provide intelligent solutions for cold chain warehouses, helping businesses enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs!
