    Innovation in Cold Chain Logistics

    There are various techniques and tools in Cold Chain Logistics designed to ensure food safety and quality, as well as the safety of vaccines, medications, and other sensitive products. Among the applied techniques are the use of real-time monitoring systems, such as IoT temperature sensors, which allow the detection of any variation in the storage and transportation conditions of products that require special characteristics. Additionally, refrigerated vehicles and the design of specialized packaging that ensures thermal protection play a crucial role in transportation and distribution.

    Logistop works on the innovation and efficiency of all these processes, facilitating collaboration among industry stakeholders to promote solutions that help improve traceability and ensure a more sustainable and effective cold chain logistics.
