Common cold chain logistics, in addition to facing the temperature, environment, logistics objects have obvious characteristics: relatively less SKU, relatively less piecemeal removal. This characteristic determines that when making project planning, we should consider the use of dense storage technology as far as possible, which is also the requirement of operating cost of refrigeration industry, because this industry has always had the saying of "inch of land theory'. Dense storage has many forms, the most typical include double-deep storage, drive-in shelve system, HD shuttle system and so on. A variety of forms of automatic shuttle system ,3D shuttle system have been widely used in this industry in recent years, and become the main direction of industry development in the future.

Cold storage warehouse ," efficiency "and" cost "are the focus of consideration. Because of the particularity of the environment, the labor intensity should be considered more than the normal temperature warehouse. Therefore, the development direction of cold storage warehouse in the future automatic operation and intensive storage.

AS/RS and HD storage will be the best choice for many cold storage. AS/RS represented by automatic storage is still the focus of future development, and the HD storage technology represented by shuttle cart will change the pattern of the whole cold storage. Automation will replace manual work. In the future, the level of automation will be higher and higher, which is also determined by the working environment of cold storage. Automatic storage, sorting, palletizing, handling technology and equipment will be popular, many large cold storage will even appear unmanned trend. Macro, automation, information, intelligence will be the trend, cold chain logistics industry is no exception. Information should solve the problem of consistency and sharing of inventory information in supply chain environment, and then solve the problem of visibility of logistics operations. These are the future trend of industry development.
