Success Stories

As the cold-chain logistics sector continues to grow rapidly in China, the industry is shifting from single-function operations like storage and transportation toward integrated, multi-functional service models. One-stop service solutions — combining storage, processing, and distribution — have become a key competitive advantage. To stay ahead in this transformation, a leading cold-chain logistics provider in Shanghai decided to upgrade its warehouse automation capabilities. The company operates multiple temperature-controlled facilities offering storage, transportation, and value-added services such as repackaging and distribution for major brands and retail clients. With increasing order volumes and diverse customer needs, the company sought to boost storage density, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure product and worker safety in a demanding frozen environment.

To enhance the efficiency and capacity of its cold-chain logistics network, the company established a new automated cold storage facility in Chengdu. The warehouse is equipped with a XCube dense storage system, enabling high-density, low-temperature pallet storage and fully automated material handling.

The company is an independent logistics brand under the Cofco Group. As of April 2022, the company’s Cold Chain ranked first in China with a total area of 1.38 million square meters, accounting for 10.1% of the domestic high-standard cold storage market. With the rapid growth of its business, the company decided to implement an intelligent dense storage system powered by four-way shuttles, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and achieve intelligent warehouse management.

The company is an international manufacturer and sales service company specializing in daily consumer products, with business operations spanning across the globe. To meet the growing demand driven by sales expansion and an increasing number of orders, the company decided to build an automated dense storage warehouse in Shanghai. The goal was to achieve high-efficiency goods storage, management, and distribution.
