Sustainable Solutions from SSI SCHAEFER

Resilience to climate change and unpredictable events like the COVID-19 pandemic with ORCA Cold Chain Solutions (Asia)

But food safety and high performance is another area where SSI SCHAEFER makes a difference. Take for example the energy efficient but highly automated logistics solution implemented for ORCA Cold Chain Solutions in the Philippines. This solution faces the challenges of the food industry that up to 37% of the food produced worldwide is lost due to poor packaging, storage and handling. It also enabled the partners to reduce electricity costs by almost 35% and minimize human intervention. In this way, the integrity of all goods can be guaranteed, and accountability as well, as 100% traceability of the goods can be increased (ie with the automation solution from SSI SCHAEFER, up to 4,800 pallets can be moved in a single day).
