由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Perishable domestic shipments are those that need to be delivered within a certain time frame and under specific conditions to avoid spoilage, damage, or loss of quality. These can include food, flowers, pharmaceuticals, or biological materials. Choosing the best way to transport them depends on several factors, such as the type, quantity, destination, and urgency of the goods, as well as the cost, reliability, and availability of different transportation modes. In this article, you will learn about the main advantages and disadvantages of four common modes of transportation for perishable domestic shipments: road, rail, air, and intermodal.

1 Road transportation

Road transportation is the most flexible and accessible mode of transportation for perishable domestic shipments. It allows you to use different types of vehicles, such as trucks, vans, or trailers, that can be equipped with refrigeration, insulation, or ventilation systems to maintain the optimal temperature and humidity for your goods. You can also customize your routes, schedules, and delivery points according to your needs and preferences. However, road transportation also has some drawbacks, such as traffic congestion, weather disruptions, fuel costs, and environmental impact. Additionally, you need to comply with various regulations and safety standards for transporting perishable goods on the road.

La flexibilidad y la capacidad de personalización que ofrece el transporte por carretera son invaluables, especialmente cuando se trata de productos perecederos que requieren condiciones específicas de temperatura y humedad. Esto permite una adaptación y respuesta rápidas a las necesidades cambiantes del mercado y las demandas de los consumidores.

2 Rail transportation

Rail transportation is a cost-effective and energy-efficient mode of transportation for perishable domestic shipments. It can handle large volumes of goods and reduce the risk of damage or theft during transit. It can also offer faster and more reliable service than road transportation for long-distance shipments, especially if you use dedicated or express trains. However, rail transportation also has some limitations, such as the lack of flexibility and accessibility. You may need to use other modes of transportation to connect your origin and destination points, which can increase the handling and transit time. You also need to ensure that your goods are properly packaged and secured to withstand the vibrations and shocks of rail transportation.

Esta modalidad es particularmente beneficiosa para grandes volúmenes de carga, ofreciendo ventajas en términos de reducción del riesgo de da?os y robos, lo cual es crucial para productos perecederos. Un ejemplo destacado de la eficacia del transporte ferroviario podría ser el envío de productos agrícolas frescos desde zonas rurales a centros urbanos. En este caso, el transporte ferroviario puede manejar cantidades significativas de productos, asegurando una entrega más rápida y confiable en comparación con el transporte por carretera, especialmente para distancias largas. Además, la capacidad de utilizar trenes dedicados o exprés puede mejorar aún más la eficiencia y la fiabilidad del servicio.

3 Air transportation

Air transportation is the fastest and most convenient mode of transportation for perishable domestic shipments. It can deliver your goods to any domestic destination within hours or days, depending on the availability and frequency of flights. It can also reduce the exposure of your goods to adverse environmental conditions or potential hazards during transit. However, air transportation also has some disadvantages, such as the high cost, limited capacity, and environmental impact. You may need to pay extra fees for special handling, packaging, or documentation of your perishable goods. You also need to coordinate with other modes of transportation to reach the airport and the final delivery point.

Esta modalidad es ideal cuando el tiempo es un factor crítico, como en el caso de productos frescos o de alta demanda que requieren una entrega rápida para mantener su calidad y valor. Un ejemplo práctico del uso del transporte aéreo podría ser el envío de mariscos frescos o flores cortadas, donde cualquier retraso podría comprometer significativamente la calidad del producto. En estos casos, la velocidad del transporte aéreo es fundamental para entregar estos productos en su estado óptimo, preservando su frescura y extendiendo su vida útil.

4 Intermodal transportation

Intermodal transportation is a combination of two or more modes of transportation for perishable domestic shipments. It can offer you the benefits of each mode while minimizing their drawbacks. For example, you can use rail transportation for the bulk of your shipment and road transportation for the last mile delivery. You can also use air transportation for the most urgent or sensitive part of your shipment and road or rail transportation for the rest. However, intermodal transportation also has some challenges, such as the complexity and coordination of the logistics process. You need to ensure that your goods are compatible and transferable between different modes of transportation. You also need to monitor and track your shipment across multiple carriers and terminals.

Alguns desafios que o tranporte intermodal de perecíveis possam vir a apresentar podem ser minizados através de um planejamento logístico eficaz, considerando o uso de metodos de pesquisa operacional e modelos informatizados para otimizar os processos. Por exemplo: transporte de órg?os para transpantes cirúrgicos.

1) Set definitive handling processes (temp true, non-stack...) for forwarders and carriers 2) incorporate rail transport to reduce input where possible 3) Plan ahead and be pro-active based on your customer base and historical data 4) An integrated supply chain will almost always be superior, aim to optimise with that in mind

Considero que no existe un solo método efectivo, dependerá de lo que envías, del tipo de empaque, embalaje, entre otras cosas, así como de los cuidados que debe de tener para mantenerse en óptimas condiciones hasta llegar a manos del consumidor final.
