TAHUHU
Transforming the Cold Chain Logistics Industry with Innovation

Cold chain logistics has evolved remarkably over the years, consistently embracing innovation in the face of challenges.

Every time a problem surfaces, solution providers are there for the rescue. Among these providers, TAHUHU is making its mark, pushing innovation to solve the challenge of managing temperature-sensitive products, which is inherently complex and costly. Even the slightest oversight in handling can result in product spoilage or escalated expenses.

“We recognize the role of effective planning in averting delays and upholding stringent maintenance standards for facilities and equipment within the cold supply chain,” says Keith Chan, CEO of TAHUHU.

A pioneer of CSA-standard cold chain logistics in Hong Kong, TAHUHU uses its expertise to bring greater efficiency into the process. Its solution encompasses three key elements—a seamless cold chain (C), an intelligent system (S), and advanced automation (A), all working in harmony to offer end-to-end logistics services.

Among the standout features of TAHUHU's logistics approach is its use of dual-temperature refrigerated trucks. By using cutting-edge logistics infrastructure, top-of-theline refrigeration systems, and precise temperature control equipment, these trucks ensure goods are cooled to the right temperature before loading and delivery to loading docks. Optimal temperatures at assured for every stage of the journey, guaranteeing an uninterrupted cold chain connection.

These trucks take service up another notch with adjustable partitions that allow for products requiring different temperatures to be delivered at the same time. This saves on costs and simplifies the customer receiving process. Those refrigeration units are electrically powered, reducing the emission of greenhouse gases and air pollutants to derive carbon neutral.

TAHUHU's smart logistics system stores all data in the cloud, which can be accessed via mobile devices or computers. The system streamlines the logistics process by enabling customers to reserve cold storage space and loading and unloading docks in advance, enhancing flexibility and efficiency. It also offers booking systems and self-service kiosks, reducing wait times by automatically assigning appointments based on facility capacity.

The smart customer portal of the system allows users to easily manage their logistics, offering unique features such as advanced storage space reservation and daily forecasting of available storage. TAHUHU’S top management and queuing system minimize customer transporter queuing times by automatically assigning inbound and outbound appointment times based on operational capacity.

The handheld devices used for barcode scanning efficiently capture essential data from serial shipping container code barcodes, including batch numbers, manufacturing dates, expiration dates, and net weights. This information is seamlessly fed into the company’s cloud system, ensuring accuracy and saving time in catch-weight procedures, which is especially beneficial for high-value products like meats.

Monitoring deliveries is made easy with IoT technology. TAHUHU can closely monitor temperature control and door access in storage facilities and trucks while tracking GPS locations and driver behavior. To boost performance and accountability, it has introduced an app that enables drivers to assess their performance. It is aligned with incentive programs to promote excellence in punctual delivery, safe driving, and temperature management.

TAHUHU leverages a user-friendly QR code check-in system that empowers delivery drivers to access assignment instructions effortlessly, eliminating communication delays.

As many of the previously manual processes are automated by TAHUHU’s smart logistics system, clients can address labor shortages in traditional cold storage facilities. With automation, these facilities can operate around the clock with just a minimal workforce of two to three individuals, while ensuring swift handling of perishable products. This extends the window for product sales and reduces the risk of spoilage.

Handling catchweight products is traditionally time-consuming. When receiving a container of beef products, catchweights for 1,000 cartons are manually recorded, causing a delay in providing the goods receiving report to customers. TAHUHU's solution streamlines this with international barcode scanning, automating catchweight input and reducing processing time. This allows for quicker delivery of detailed receiving reports, expediting product packing and delivery, and shortening the overall business process time. Sustainability is a cornerstone of TAHUHU's practices. Its logistics solution is designed for adaptability, seamlessly catering to diverse logistics operations and product profiles. Whether business-to-business or business-to-consumer, TAHUHU's system employs robots and autonomous mobile robots to enhance picking efficiency and accuracy, accommodating both bulk and single-item orders.

TAHUHU represents a paradigm shift in the cold chain logistics industry. Its innovative approach, encompassing temperature control, automation, data integration, and sustainability, optimizes logistics operations while setting new standards for cold chain logistics worldwide.
