Abstract

While cold chain logistics is not a brand-new technology, it does have certain drawbacks, such as insufficient product security, limited digitalization in related processes, and high costs. However, the utilization of blockchain technology in cold chain logistics is a comparatively recent development that offers numerous benefits. Three fields of applications have been identified based on pertinent research literature: fresh food, medicine, and food. The precise application methods of merging blockchain with other technologies were introduced separately. If an emergency blood trading plan is offered, the information monitoring, disclosure, and traceability functions of fresh items, and the efficient resource allocation plan for food trading are proposed to obtain maximum benefits. Research has shown that the use of blockchain in conjunction with other technologies makes information on the chain publicly available, allowing for effective information querying and monitoring across a range of processes and emphasizing the benefits of lower logistics costs. Additionally, weaknesses and opportunities were mentioned at the same time.
