Our R&D Studies
Cold chain logistics solutions that are safer, more efficient, and more traceable
Kardan Frigo conducts development-oriented work in the fields of vehicle technology, temperature control, digital tracking, energy efficiency, and operational planning to improve service quality in cold chain transportation and refrigerated logistics processes.
Our R&D approach aims to create more controlled, measurable, and sustainable processes in frozen food, chilled food, medical products, pallet storage, refrigerated truck rental, urban distribution, intercity reefer transport, and cold chain storage operations.
R&D Approach for the Future Cold Chain
We are developing safer and more traceable logistics processes by evaluating vehicle, warehouse, temperature, route, and operational data together.
More controlled temperature management according to product sensitivity.
Traceability of vehicles, routes, and the shipping process.
Improvement in fuel, time, route, and operational planning.
Refrigeration system planning supported by industrial electricity.
Refrigerated truck bodies suitable for various sizes and applications.
R&D in cold chain logistics means more than just using new technology; it also involves making existing operations more measurable, safer, more efficient, and better tailored to customer needs. With this approach, Kardan Frigo focuses on continuously improving processes related to transportation, storage, vehicle selection, temperature management, and operational monitoring.
Our R&D efforts include evaluating the cooling performance of refrigerated vehicles, engine-driven systems, vehicle options capable of operating on 380V industrial power, route and fleet tracking processes, temperature monitoring, energy efficiency, warehouse/distribution operations, and the optimization of palletized cold chain processes.
Our goal is to evaluate the actual needs encountered in the field alongside technical data, develop the right vehicle and operational model based on the customer’s product requirements, enhance reliability in cold chain processes, and continuously improve the quality of Kardan Frigo’s services.
