With the rapid development of Vietnam’s economy, the scale of agriculture and food processing industry continues to expand. In particular, as an important agricultural production base in Southeast Asia, more and more companies need efficient cold chain logistics systems to ensure the quality of agricultural products and extend their shelf life. In order to support the development of local agriculture in Vietnam, a Vietnamese agricultural product export company commissioned us to design and build a cold storage system, requiring an efficient, environmentally friendly and intelligent management cold chain solution. With 30 years of industry experience, we successfully delivered the project and helped customers improve operational efficiency and ensure product quality.

1. Project background: Vietnam agricultural product cold storage construction

The project is located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and is a company that mainly exports tropical fruits and vegetables. Because Vietnam’s climate is relatively hot and the freshness of agricultural products is the key to its export competitiveness, the company needs a cold chain system to ensure that the temperature and humidity of agricultural products are accurately controlled throughout the entire process from harvesting to transportation to ensure the best quality.

Customer needs:

Precise temperature and humidity control: Since different agricultural products (such as tropical fruits, vegetables, etc.) have different requirements for temperature and humidity, customers hope that the cold storage can accurately control these parameters to ensure that the storage environment can reach the best state for all kinds of agricultural products.

Efficient cold storage management: Customers hope that the cold storage system can achieve intelligent management, including real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity, automatic alarm and remote control functions to improve management efficiency.

Energy saving and environmental protection: Since the electricity price in Vietnam has been rising year by year, customers hope to reduce electricity consumption and reduce operating costs through energy-saving technology.

Long-term stability: Considering the long storage period of agricultural products, the cold storage system needs to have the ability to operate stably for a long time to avoid economic losses caused by system failures.

2. Solution: Intelligent design and green energy-saving technology

To meet customer needs, we provide customized cold storage construction solutions, combined with the latest intelligent control technology and energy-saving equipment to ensure that the cold storage operates efficiently and environmentally friendly.

Cold storage design and layout:

Partition storage: We designed multiple temperature control partitions according to the storage requirements of different agricultural products. Each area is set with different temperature and humidity conditions according to the type of fruits, vegetables or other agricultural products stored. For example, tropical fruits require higher humidity and moderate temperature, while vegetables require lower temperature and drier environment.

Intelligent temperature control system: Each storage area in the cold storage is equipped with a precise temperature and humidity control system, which can adjust and monitor temperature and humidity in real time to ensure that all kinds of products are stored in the most suitable environment. Through the intelligent system, managers can check the operating status of each area at any time and automatically alarm when abnormalities occur.

Intelligent management platform: Customers can monitor the temperature and humidity, equipment operation status, etc. in the cold storage in real time through the remote intelligent platform, which is convenient for daily management and problem troubleshooting.

Equipment selection and installation:

High-efficiency and energy-saving refrigeration equipment: We selected high-efficiency variable frequency refrigeration equipment for customers and adopted advanced refrigeration technology to ensure that the equipment adjusts the load according to actual needs during operation to achieve energy-saving effects. Compared with traditional refrigeration equipment, this system can reduce electricity consumption by up to 30%.

Environmentally friendly materials and equipment: The building materials and equipment of the cold storage meet environmental protection standards. We use fluorine-free refrigerants and green environmentally friendly insulation materials to reduce the impact on the environment.

Automated monitoring system: We provide customers with a 24-hour automated monitoring system to track temperature and humidity changes in the cold storage in real time, automatically adjust equipment operation, and manage through remote control.

System integration and debugging:

After the construction of the cold storage was completed, we carried out detailed integration and debugging of all systems, including the refrigeration system, temperature and humidity control system, and monitoring system. The operating conditions of all equipment have been fully tested to ensure that the cold storage can maintain stable operation under various load conditions.

3. Project results: Improve operational efficiency and ensure product quality

After the project was put into use, the customer gave a high evaluation of the operation effect of the cold storage, especially in reducing operating costs and improving the quality of agricultural products.

Key results:

Improve storage quality: By precisely controlling temperature and humidity, customers can ensure that agricultural products remain in the best condition during storage, reducing decay or loss caused by improper storage.

Reduce operating costs: Thanks to efficient refrigeration equipment and energy-saving design, customers’ electricity consumption has been greatly reduced, with significant energy-saving effects, saving about 25% of electricity bills throughout the year.

Intelligent management: Through the intelligent monitoring platform, customers can grasp the various data in the cold storage in real time, and managers can deal with any sudden problems more quickly, avoiding quality risks caused by temperature and humidity fluctuations.

Scalability and flexibility: Considering the future growth of customers’ business, we fully considered the scalability of the cold storage when designing. Customers can easily increase storage space and equipment when demand increases to ensure the long-term use of the cold storage system.

4. Customer feedback: trust and satisfaction

After the implementation of the project, the customer highly recognized our solution and believed that the construction of cold storage not only greatly improved product quality, but also optimized management processes and saved costs. The following are the main feedbacks from customers:

Efficient and stable operation: Customers said that the operation of the cold storage is very stable, and the temperature and humidity control is very accurate, which can effectively maintain the freshness of agricultural products.

Energy saving and cost reduction: Energy-saving technology has helped customers significantly reduce electricity costs and saved the company a lot of operating costs.

Intelligent management improves efficiency: Through the remote intelligent management system, customers can check the operation status of the cold storage anytime and anywhere, which greatly improves work efficiency.

5. Summary: Promote the development of cold chain of agricultural products in Vietnam

This cold storage construction project in Vietnam has successfully helped customers improve the efficiency and quality of agricultural product storage, and also provided strong support for the development of cold chain of agricultural products in Vietnam. Our cold storage solution not only solves customers’ needs in temperature control, energy saving and intelligent management, but also provides customers with long-term expansion possibilities. In the future, we will continue to provide more customers with innovative cold chain solutions to help the agricultural development and cold chain logistics industry upgrade in Southeast Asia.
