The food and beverage business is in high demand. Plus, consumers at home reduce the risk of making more online purchases during the Covid-19 epidemic situation. As a result, the transportation service business has to speed up the adjustment. Added temperature-controlled transportation services. Support transportation and work management GPS Tracking transport tracking system helps businesses to monitor and assess the quality of goods throughout the transit period.

Mrs. Warintorn Sisukdee Director of Commercial Products, GIS Co., Ltd. revealed that from the statistics of the Ministry of Commerce. It was found that since 2018, Cold Chain Logistics business, or temperature-controlled transport of goods in Thailand, has continued to grow. with a business value of approximately 26 billion baht or 5% of the total logistics business market and has a tendency to expand continuously by 8%, or a value of 35 billion baht in 2022, with factors supporting growth from agricultural exports, food and beverage businesses where the market has a higher demand plus the current situation of the COVID-19 epidemic As a result, the majority of consumers stay at home to reduce the risk and more fresh food orders are delivered online to their homes. Consequently, the transportation service business has to adjust to providing temperature-controlled logistics or Cold Chain Logistics, increasing by leaps and bounds. As can be seen from the figures released by the Department of Land Transport in February 2021, there are 1,500 operators of temperature-controlled trucks operating in agriculture and food, and there are 9,800 temperature-controlled trucks across the country.

Cold Chain Logistics plays a very important role in agricultural products. Due to the conditions of transportation as follows: 1. The product must be transported to the consumer within 24 hours in order to reduce the damage from transportation. because it affects the quality of the product Reduces wastage and evaporation of water. as well as greatly reducing the spoilage rate. 3. Appropriate distribution management. Contributes to reducing the damage of the product. but in the past Instead, the forecast of temperature controlled shipments is less than 10% compared to conventional domestic transport. Due to the use of temperature-controlled transport vehicles or refrigerated vehicles, there are still few. because the cost is higher than normal shipping There are also higher travel costs from temperature control and maintenance.

“Although the number of temperature-controlled transport in Thailand is still low, But with the COVID-19 epidemic crisis in the country in the past 1-2 months has become more intense. Including the inability to deliver goods into the dark red control area that restricts travel in and out. causing the transport business to face the problem of delayed parcel delivery. until it affects the trust of the service provider’s brand Warehouses and parcel distribution centers have a lot of residual parcels. cannot be delivered to the customer causing a lot of problems in the transportation system especially with the transport of fresh goods”

from such problems At present, many major carriers have begun to adapt. by increasing investment in the use of refrigerated trucks to increase the temperature control service which is not only food products or agricultural products only But it can also be used to transport medicines and medical supplies. by using technology to manage Cold Chain Logistics systems such as energy-saving cooling systems Using a transportation tracking system and traceability system from start to delivery Therefore, products can be inspected, tracked and assessed throughout the transportation period. Helps reduce product damage while greatly improving the transportation efficiency.
