Frozen Food Cross-Docking

Run of the mill cross-docking operations involve the unloading of materials from an incoming semi-trailer, sea-container a loading these materials directly into outbound trailers, sea containers or flatbeds. The complexity of these operations is magnified when the commodity is frozen food-grade stuffs. Time and temperature considerations coupled with coordinating the proper refrigerated logistic equipment are a few of the factors that make designing frozen food cross-docking solutions so critical. When long term storage is not a factor in the logistic plan, expertly coordinated cross-docking operations are a must in order to avoid compromising the integrity of the food-grade commodity and avoiding costly delays.
