Carrier recently launched a Healthy, Safe, Sustainable Cold Chain Program, which the company says it designed to help customers meet rapidly evolving supply chain demands and make cold chain activities more effective.
“The times we live in have increased the importance of cold chain resiliency and accelerated the need for more connected solutions from origination to delivery,” said David Appel, president of refrigeration at Carrier. “Carrier is leading the way in research and technologies that will help our customers supply the food, medicine and vaccines that can improve the health and well-being of the global population.
“We are uniquely positioned to support customers through our global installed base, broad service capabilities and decades of experience across the cold chain.”
The Healthy, Safe, Sustainable Cold Chain Program complements Carrier’s Heathy Buildings Program, which launched in June with an expanded suite of advanced solutions to help deliver healthy, safe, efficient and productive indoor environments. This new program focuses on a health-first cold chain in four areas:
- Food and medicine security: Addressing cold chain challenges with refrigeration technology from farm to fork and production to patient
- Safe vaccine distribution: Protecting the temperature-controlled distribution of vaccines
- Connected cold chain: Enhancing end-to-end cold chain visibility and intelligence with digital solutions
- Sustainable cold chain: Reducing loss, waste and environmental impact across the cold chain
Whether monitoring vaccines being moved in dry ice at -90 degrees Celsius, ensuring the safe transport of perishable food and medicine with high-efficiency, electric-drive Vector trailer refrigeration units or keeping produce fresh at the supermarket, Carrier offers a portfolio of refrigeration and cargo monitoring solutions to support supply chain resiliency and product safety.
Carrier says it is able to address current and emerging cold chain challenges due to an installed base of 1.2 million transport refrigeration units, more than 50,000 commercial refrigeration installations, and comprehensive cargo monitoring capabilities, including real-time solutions, theft prevention, thermal mapping solutions and logistics optimization.
Carrier also continues to advance its digital capabilities, telematics and remote-monitoring offerings that deliver insights and connectivity across the cold chain.
