job in service.

To this end, he called on all colleagues in the cold chain industry to reduce costs together, and logistics enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta to unite to create a new highland
of cold chain.
Second, problems such as excessive packaging have led to a lot of waste and pollution
in the cold chain field.
Third, the industry needs to jointly promote automation and digitalization on a large scale, including the goal of achieving unmanned operations below minus 18 degrees, and a clear promotion schedule should be established, which is not only related to the humanistic care of the cold chain industry, but also because the industry is generally facing the problem
