Introduction to Five Classification Functions of Cold Storage Installation for Refrigeration

Refrigerated distribution center is developed based on the two needs of rationalizing refrigerated logistics and developing the market. It is a circulation-type refrigerated logistics node with the main functions of organizing refrigerated distribution-style sales and supply and implementing physical refrigerated distribution.
I. Functions of refrigerated distribution center. The refrigerated distribution center is different from traditional warehouses and transportation. General warehouses only attach importance to the storage and preservation of commodities. Generally, traditional transportation only provides commodity transportation and distribution. However, the refrigerated distribution center attaches importance to the all-round functions of commodity circulation and has the functions of commodity storage and preservation, circulation marketing, sorting and distribution, circulation processing and information provision.
II. Sorting and refrigerated distribution function.

Another key point in the refrigerated distribution center is the sorting and distribution function. Because the distribution center is developed to meet the needs of customers with multiple varieties and small batches, the distribution center must carry out sorting and distribution operations according to the requirements of customers and deliver them to customers as quickly as possible or distribute them to customers within a specified time. The sorting and distribution efficiency of the distribution center is the concentrated reflection of logistics quality and the most important function of the distribution center.

III. Circulation marketing function. Circulation marketing is an important function of the distribution center.

Especially in the modern industrial era, with the development of various information media and the stability and credit of commodity quality, many direct sales businesses use distribution centers to carry out commodity marketing through cable TV, the Internet, etc. This commodity marketing method can greatly reduce the purchase cost and is therefore widely loved by consumers.

For example, in foreign countries, many logistics companies are named after marketing companies. Wholesale-type distribution centers, manufacturer-type distribution centers and importer-type distribution centers also all have the function of marketing (commercial flow).
IV. Circulation processing function. The circulation processing operations of refrigerated distribution centers include classification, weighing, unpacking and repackaging of large packages, product combination packaging, trademark and label pasting operations. These operations are important means to improve the service quality of refrigerated distribution centers.
V. Information provision function. In addition to having functions such as marketing, distribution, circulation processing, storage and preservation, the refrigerated distribution center can also provide various information and intelligence for the refrigerated distribution center itself and upstream and downstream enterprises for reference in formulating operation and management policies of the refrigerated distribution center, developing commodity routes and formulating commodity sales promotion policies.
