Unlike many other companies, our company does not adopt new technologies piece by piece, but was founded with the latest advances in automation and technology at its core.
All of our hardware and software innovations have been developed to work in harmony with each other. Together, they form a cohesive, efficient and transparent logistics solution that is integrated with our customers and works seamlessly from start to finish.
This concept has brought us and our customers sustainable growth. Our technological edge alone is not enough to explain the success of our model. We know that technology is only as good as the people who use it, and we pride ourselves on having an unparalleled level of automation knowledge and experience.
The combination of in-house knowledge and proprietary technology allows us to apply a philosophy of continuous improvement and provide a level of responsive customer service rarely found in the industry.
As we have designed and developed almost every part of our solution, we know it inside out. This ownership allows us to respond to customer needs, leverage experience and respond to market changes with a speed that others who rely on third parties can never achieve.
As we are the main players in our own technology, we have a vested interest in always looking for improvements and ways in which we can become even better, which is why we always view our partnerships as long-term, mutually beneficial collaborations.
Each of our high-bay warehouses is developed by our team of engineers and specialists from the ground up according to our own specifications.
From storage and retrieval machines to electric monorail systems, our warehouses are almost completely autonomous and equipped with our unique range of hardware systems.
This high level of automation enables a degree of verticality that is not possible in manual warehouses and leads to greater energy efficiency and sustainability.
Just as important as our hardware systems is the software we use to operate them. We have developed each of the three software platforms we use in our warehouses in-house: the warehouse management system (WMS), the warehouse control system (WCS) and the programmable logic controller (PLC).
Since their introduction, they have been constantly updated and refined to increase efficiency and better meet customers' needs. Our IT experts have more than ten years of experience in integrating with our customers' ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems and customizing processes to meet the most demanding requirements.
Our software enables us to offer our customers almost complete transparency and traceability of their products as they move through the cold chain. It also gives us full flexibility to apply the inventory logic that our customers want, while providing value-added logistics services such as picking and repacking of boxes as required.
In addition, our sister company Haven Enterprises is home to a group of experienced software and technology companies that offer the latest innovations in supply chain operations, including those we have tried and tested. Of course, NewCold and our customers are the first to benefit from any new insights and developments.
Looking to the future, NewCold is driving technological innovations that continue to change cold storage as we know it. Everywhere we look, we see the promise of technology. It increases productivity, reduces risk and cost, offers scalability, speed and efficiency and optimizes cold storage operations.
Automation and robotization ensure less dependence on the vagaries of the labor market, increasing labor shortages and rising labor costs. The search for skilled labor has long been a challenge for the cold chain industry, which has been even more affected by the global pandemic.
NewCold relies on automation in all its warehouses to meet the challenges of staff shortages and rising costs and to reduce the risk of human error. These cost savings allow NewCold to invest in hiring highly skilled professionals and fostering innovation.
