The logistics process of AGF products starts at the farmer, goes through packaging and transport companies to the wholesaler or retailer and finally to the consumer. During these links, products are exposed to all kinds of risks, such as temperature and moisture. Cooperation, as well as the right protective equipment, is necessary to prevent AGF shipments from being rejected and thrown away. Praxas has been serving many AGF customers for over 20 years with the following solutions:

The refrigerated transport of meat, fish and poultry is a challenge, especially when these products are transported to the other side of the world. Throughout the supply chain, measures must be taken to prevent losses. After all, spoiled meat products are harmful to health. Refrigerated transport is therefore a requirement. Depending on the type of product, the necessary temperatures are maintained. To make this measurable, temperature loggers are added to the cargo.

Dough products such as bread, cookies, flour and other powdered products, are very sensitive to moisture. Yet these products are often transported by shipping container. When cookies are affected by moisture, they become soft and, if transported for a long time, can even develop mold. Powdered products will clump together when the environment they are in becomes humid. The result is a rejected shipment and an unsatisfied customer. Proper protection is therefore a necessity in order to guarantee the quality of dough products.

It is not uncommon for something to go wrong during the transport of products such as wine or beer. Temperature differences during transport lead to loss of quality of wine. Or labels, wine boxes or packaging become soaked due to a too humid environment. When this happens, a shipment is quickly rejected. Refrigerated transport is a solution, but costly. The use of container insulation, such as the Praxas Container Pack, is a good and affordable interim solution.

Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, butter and eggs, are usually transported in reefer containers. This ensures that the temperature is maintained during transport. Nevertheless, maintaining the quality of food products remains a logistical challenge. For example, a lot of cheese is exported from the Netherlands to the Middle East. Cooperation between the various links and insight into the supply chain minimize the risk of losses. Real-time monitoring with our track & trace solution makes this possible. 

Restaurant, fast food chains, catering companies.... Hospitality companies are subject to strict regulations when it comes to the storage and processing of food. Typically, cold rooms or cabinets are used, where a temperature measurement of environment and products is taken several times a day. This is then recorded manually. To make this more efficient, online temperature monitoring is also used. In this case, the temperatures are recorded centrally and stored in the cloud.
