Undergraduates with CPULD investigated shipping containers for cold chain distribution
This study aimed to identify trends in cold chain packaging efforts as well as discover the materials and technologies used to successfully transport products at various temperatures. This project analyzed current trends and future innovations in cold chain processes and researched how they’ve contributed to developments in the industry. The researchers looked into various technological advancements and how they have been used to improve tracking temperatures and shipments. The goal was to create a methodology that could be used to research cold chain insulated-container performance. The main objective of this study was to identify market-available, insulated-container systems that could maintain a specific temperature for at least two days.
