Cold Chain Logistics

Cold chain logistics encompasses the entire process of keeping temperature-sensitive products within the required temperature conditions from the point of production until they reach the end user. Unlike refrigerated transport, cold chain logistics covers not only the transport stage but every stage, including storage, handling, loading and unloading, and distribution. At Sami Logistics, we provide logistics solutions that apply temperature-control mechanisms at every stage to preserve the integrity of the cold chain. Cold chain logistics is of critical importance, particularly for food safety. Products such as fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and dairy products, frozen foods, ready meals and baked goods can spoil rapidly if the cold chain is broken. Similarly, vaccines, certain pharmaceuticals and biological materials are also extremely sensitive to temperature deviations. In cold chain management, temperature control is maintained at every transition point, from warehouse dispatch through loading onto the vehicle, and from the vehicle through unloading at a warehouse or store. These transition points are the most fragile stages of the cold chain and require particular attention. Temperature recording devices collect data throughout the entire process, ensuring full traceability.

Our Operating Process

01

Product and Chain Analysis

The temperature range, humidity requirements and critical points along the chain for the product to be transported are identified.

02

Cold Storage Preparation

Warehouse space within the appropriate temperature zone is prepared for the product, and pre-conditioning is carried out.

03

Controlled Handling

The product is transferred between the warehouse and vehicle without temperature loss, with transition times minimized.

04

Refrigerated Transport

The cargo is carried in a cold-chain-compliant refrigerated vehicle, with temperature continuously monitored and recorded.

05

Final-Point Delivery

The product is delivered to the recipient's location in accordance with cold chain standards.

06

Reporting and Archiving

All temperature records and process documents are reported and archived digitally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Refrigerated transport is a service that provides temperature control only during the transport stage. Cold chain logistics covers uninterrupted temperature management across every stage, including storage, loading, transport, unloading and distribution.

Temperature deviations are detected instantly and alarm mechanisms are triggered. A deviation record is created and the customer is notified. An assessment of the product's continued usability is then made together with the customer.

Our cold storage facilities offer temperatures down to -25°C for frozen products, between +2°C and +8°C for fresh products, and different temperature zones for specialty products.
