Challenges in the food industry
The food industry is particularly demanding in terms of logistics, due to the need to take care of delicate products, maintain proper temperatures and coordinate transportation to multiple distribution points.
Key challenges
- Delicacy of packaging- Food products such as yogurt, beverages, or other delicate goods must be stored and transported in such a way as to avoid damage to packaging.
- Temperature control- Refrigerated products must be stored at precisely controlled temperatures (usually between +2°C and +8°C) to ensure their freshness and safety for consumers.
- Non-simultaneous receipt of goods- In the food industry, especially in distribution to retail chains, drivers delivering goods to different stores along the route often have varying pick-up times, requiring precise logistics and loading organization according to delivery routes.
- Varied expiration dates- Food products have different expiration dates, requiring careful inventory management to avoid waste.
