To deliver high standard fine food, specialised transportation and logistics solutions are required to maintain freshness, traceability, hygiene, food safety, and product quality.
To showcase the latest in air freight, ocean freight, and contract logistics solutions, with specialised offerings for food and beverage, and perishables, DB Schenker will be exhibiting at Stand E4 at Fine Food Australia, the leading trade event for the food industry.
Now in its 40th year, Fine Food Australia will be held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, from September 2-5.
"DB Schenker has a number of dedicated transportation solutions for perishables such as meat, dairy, and fresh product, as well as storage and handling to keep product quality high," says Daniel Andersen, Director, Air Freight, DB Schenker Australia & New Zealand Cluster.
"For example, in Western Australia, DB Schenker has one of the State's three temperature-controlled storage facilities for food and perishable goods. With air freight we can offer time-definite options with seamless tracking and condition monitoring, and through ocean freight we have niche solutions such as transporting fresh milk in flexitanks," he adds.
DB Schenker is one of the world's leading logistics service providers, with over 150 years of experience, including highly customised solutions to meet specific and unique requirements.
Real-time visibility with AirTrack
One innovation to be demonstrated by DB Schenker at Fine Foods Australia is AirTrack, which provides customers with real time visibility of their air freight shipments.
"Not only does this help with risk management practices, but customers can keep an accurate record of data such as temperature, so that if an issue occurs during transportation, they have full knowledge of whether the product is still compliant with food health and safety regulations," says Andersen.
Customer benefits of DB Schenker's Air Freight solutions for fresh goods include:
- Fixed definition of transit times
- Seamless delivery tracking via the Internet
- Service and price transparency
- Early and comprehensive monitoring of transport, rapid availability, and maximum security
- Provision of temperature controlled pre-/on-carriage and air freight solutions
- Organisation of temperature recording equipment
Delivering solutions for fine food
"At the 40th year of Fine Food Australia, DB Schenker will be showcasing how we can help food and beverage specialists deliver higher quality fine food, while reducing their footprint with smarter storage and handling technologies," says Andersen.
"DB Schenker also aims for innovative solutions, and is continuously investing in new ways of doing things and lower emission products for our customers, so we encourage forward-thinking food and beverage companies to discuss options and ideas with our expert team," he adds.
