Dongguan Cold Storage Upgrades Automated Sorting — 40% Efficiency Gain

New automated equipment boosts cold-chain processing capacity, ensuring faster and safer throughput for fresh cargo.

Dongguan Port Cold Storage officially commissioned a next-generation automated sorting system in December 2024, significantly enhancing cold-chain warehouse operations efficiency.

Automated Sorting & Conveyor Lines The new conveyor sorting lines automatically route goods by cargo type, temperature zone, and outbound destination, substantially reducing manual handling and error rates.

WMS Integration The sorting system integrates in real time with the Warehouse Management System (WMS), allowing full traceability of goods from inbound receipt through storage to outbound dispatch. Clients can query cargo status at any time.

Efficiency Figures During commissioning trials, single-day throughput increased by approximately 40%. Both the chilled and deep-freeze zones have completed equipment deployment and are now in full production operation.

Client Service Improvements Alongside the hardware upgrade, we have streamlined inbound booking, outbound scheduling, and cold-chain transport handoff procedures — reducing the overall operating cycle and ensuring fresh cargo moves through the facility faster without compromising temperature integrity.
