en.Wedoany.com Reported - The cold chain digital intelligence platform solution showcased by Shenzhen Qianhai Yueshi Information Technology Co., Ltd., along with practical cases from enterprises such as Hebei International Land Port and Yuhu Cold Chain, collectively reveal that smart cold chain logistics parks are reshaping the entire fresh agricultural product circulation chain through AI algorithms, digital twins, and unmanned equipment.

Traditional cold storage has long faced shortcomings such as low manual scheduling efficiency, coarse temperature control, and opaque supply chains. Against this backdrop, smart cold chain logistics parks equipped with artificial intelligence technology have emerged. Qianhai Yueshi presented its cold chain digital intelligence platform solution at the Fourth China International Supply Chain Expo. Its invested company, Yueshi Robotics, was selected in June for the Shenzhen 2026 "Robotics+" Application Demonstration Typical Cases list. The robot's self-developed distributed unmanned forklift system, with an IP67 protection rating, can operate in low-temperature environments ranging from minus 30 degrees Celsius to room temperature, achieving precise unmanned operations inside cold storage through proprietary algorithms. According to the relevant person in charge, the cold chain intelligent handling robot is suitable for scenarios such as cold chain port warehouses, frozen product trading warehouses, cold chain parks, and food processing plants, while the cold chain intelligent picking robot meets the needs for picking and handling lightweight items. Based on its self-developed cold chain digital twin platform, Qianhai Yueshi provides real-time mapping of data such as warehouse temperature, humidity, and logistics trajectories, enabling "one warehouse, one chain" smart management across multiple cold chain parks nationwide, including Shenzhen Port and Zhengzhou Park.

Recently, Dry Warehouses No. 1 and No. 2 of the Hebei International Land Port Company's cold chain storage supporting center achieved full-capacity operations, with warehouse utilization reaching 100%. Wang Zhenyu, Manager of the Storage Operations Department, stated that the dry warehouses are equipped with high-bay racking systems, intelligent inventory management systems, and barcode sorting equipment, enabling full-process digital control of goods from inbound, storage, sorting, to outbound. The SCI smart supply chain data platform, independently developed by Hebei Logistics Group, is widely applied in scenarios such as bulk trade, supply chain finance, and smart parks. Data shows that warehouse operation efficiency increased by 20% year-on-year, annual material transfer volume grew by 30% year-on-year, warehouse labor costs decreased by 20% year-on-year, and overall profit increased by 72% year-on-year. Through a combined strategy of "international corridor expansion + domestic industrial synergy + digital and intelligent empowerment," the group has built a multi-business collaborative development pattern.

At the dispatch center of Yuhu Cold Chain Guangzhou Park, the system can automatically match orders and vehicles, plan optimal routes, and issue timeout warnings for core nodes, shifting management from "post-event handling" to "in-process intervention." After the intelligent dispatch platform was activated, park dispatch efficiency improved by over 50%. The central control screen of Shandong Haichuang Smart Cold Chain Co., Ltd. shows that storage space utilization has approached 98%. Compared with traditional first-tier port storage, leveraging the policy advantages of the comprehensive bonded zone, the cold chain industrial park's storage fees can save 0.2 to 0.5 yuan per ton per day. For a company importing approximately 1,000 tons of frozen aquatic products monthly, annual storage costs can be reduced by 70,000 to 180,000 yuan. Additionally, the WMS warehouse management system developed by Qianhai Yueshi collects goods information by connecting intelligent devices, providing digital applications such as inbound and outbound operations, inventory counting, cost accounting, traceability, and alerts.

Market demand is driving the digital transformation of cold chain parks. According to statistics from the Cold Chain Committee of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, from 2020 to 2025, China's total demand for food cold chain logistics services grew from 265 million tons to 381 million tons, an increase of 43.8% over five years. This year's No. 1 Central Document emphasizes strengthening the construction of facilities such as pre-cooling at production sites, storage and preservation, and sorting and processing. In June, the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of 'AI + Consumption'" issued by eight departments, including the Ministry of Commerce, mentioned supporting the construction of smart logistics parks, smart ports, and smart warehouses. An implementation plan jointly released by six departments, including the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission, also proposed promoting the intelligent upgrade of warehousing and logistics facilities and encouraging enterprises to build or renovate high-standard warehouses.

As of 2025, China has planned and constructed 105 national backbone cold chain logistics bases, covering 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). The Beijing Southeast Expressway Smart Logistics Port (Phase I) opened in July last year, creating an unmanned "dark environment" warehouse scenario. Henan has built five national backbone cold chain logistics bases in Zhengzhou, Shangqiu, Xinxiang, Luohe, and Luoyang, with over 2,300 cold chain logistics-related enterprises. The Central Mingpin Fu Industrial Park project has a total construction area of approximately 3.2 million square meters. The Jingmen Smart Cold Chain Logistics Park project in Hubei has a total investment of about 850 million yuan and is being advanced in three phases. Phase I has been completed and put into operation, Phase II's main structure is finished and is undergoing equipment installation and commissioning, with trial operations expected by the end of June this year. Phase II will focus on enhancing the park's multi-temperature zone storage and intelligent sorting functions, with cold storage temperatures precisely controlled between minus 18 degrees Celsius and minus 23 degrees Celsius, and a total storage capacity of 130,000 tons. With policy dividends and technological iterations, smart cold chain parks with autonomous "thinking" capabilities are becoming the mainstream form of fresh produce circulation infrastructure.
