From a −22°C cold storage to consumers’ dining tables, efficient cold chain logistics ensures the freshness and quality of beef products. Xiamen Yihefeng Food Group, a leading beef product enterprise in China, has joined hands with Linde Automation to upgrade its cold chain warehousing and build an intelligent benchmark for low-temperature storage.
Driven by the rapid growth of e-commerce and supermarket channels, traditional cold storage faces growing constraints:
−22°C low-temperature working conditions, management of over 600 product SKUs, and strict requirements for food hygiene and delivery timeliness. To overcome these challenges, Xiamen Yihefeng has partnered with Linde Automation to adopt intelligent internal logistics solutions and break through bottlenecks in low-temperature operation, cleanliness, and efficiency.
Based on Yihefeng’s on-site conditions and product features, Linde Automation designed and delivered a customized four-way shuttle pallet warehouse that integrates advanced technology and deep industry expertise.
Core Features of the Intelligent Cold Storage
Low-temperature resistant design
The system uses low-temperature motors and specialized shelf materials to ensure stable and reliable performance at −22°C.
High-density storage
Multiple intelligent four-way shuttles move flexibly in vertical, horizontal, cross-aisle and cross-level operations, greatly improving warehouse space utilization.
Unmanned full-process operation
Smart shuttles are intelligently scheduled and plan routes automatically. Multiple units collaborate efficiently to complete automated storage, retrieval and handling from inbound to outbound.
Intelligent management and traceability
Supported by Linde’s automated software system, the warehouse enables real-time inventory monitoring, end-to-end traceability, and automated inbound/outbound control for raw materials and finished goods.
Flexible scalability
The number of shuttles can be adjusted flexibly to match business growth and support future capacity expansion.
Since its launch, the solution has helped Xiamen Yihefeng achieve remarkable improvements in cost control, space efficiency and operational productivity.
He Bie, Cold Storage Supervisor of Xiamen Yihefeng Food Group, commented:
“The −22°C environment is challenging for both people and equipment. Linde’s team developed a four-way shuttle pallet warehouse tailored to our actual needs. With the intelligent software system, we have successfully built a high-efficiency smart cold storage.”
Linde Automation continues to support the food manufacturing industry with scenario-based intelligent logistics, building flexible, efficient and reliable cold chain supply chain systems to safeguard food freshness. Moving forward, Linde will keep cooperating with industrial partners to drive the cold chain sector toward higher efficiency, intelligence and sustainable development.
