与传统的物流相比冷链物流的管理需要有高度的信息化管理，该管理以信息为纽带，实现节点企业间的有效沟通。依靠现代信息技术达到供应链节点企业间的数据交换和信息沟通是供应链管理的显著特征。在奶制品冷链管理中常常会用到条码技术、电子数据交换、互联网、电子订货系统等，通过计算机技术的使用，供应链中的商流、物流、经济流的运行更加流畅，提高了供应链的运作效率。蒙牛等大型奶制品企业通过使用先进的物联网技术和计算机信息技术，降低了供应链的成本、提高整体盈利水平。
Compared with traditional logistics, the management of coldchain logistics requires a high degree of information management.This management uses information as a link to achieve effectivecommunication between node enterprises. Relying on moderninformation technology to achieve data exchange and informationcommunication between supply chain node enterprises is asignificant feature of supply chain management. Bar codetechnology, electronic data exchange, Internet, electronic orderingsystem, etc. are often used in dairy cold chain management. Throughthe use of computer technology, the operation of business flow,logistics and economic flow in the supply chain is smoother, andthe supply chain is improved. efficiency of the chain. Mengniu andother large dairy companies have reduced supply chain costs andimproved overall profitability by using advanced Internet of Thingstechnology and computer information technology.
冷链设施设备的总体选择原则为：技术上先进、经济上合理、生产作业上安全、无污染的原则；制冷设备的选用主要有以下原则：重要能量消耗、制冷剂和制冷量、二氧化碳排放量、外部安全性、内部安全性、噪音水平、运行费用等。
The overall selection principles of cold chain facilities andequipment are: technologically advanced, economically reasonable,safe and non-polluting in production operations; the selection ofrefrigeration equipment mainly has the following principles:important energy consumption, refrigerant and refrigerationcapacity, carbon dioxide emissions , external safety, internalsafety, noise levels, operating costs, etc.
在冷链物流中，冷库的种类主要为土建冷库、装配式冷库、气调冷库等；在运输环节使用的设备有：冷藏车、冷藏火车、冷藏集装箱等；冷藏销售设备主要为：冷藏陈列柜、冷库等，冷藏陈列柜可以分为：货架式、平式、岛式等。
In cold chain logistics, the types of cold storage are mainlycivil cold storage, prefabricated cold storage, air-conditionedcold storage, etc.; the equipment used in transportation are:refrigerated trucks, refrigerated trains, refrigerated containers,etc.; refrigerated sales equipment is mainly: refrigerated displaycabinets , cold storage, etc., refrigerated display cabinets can bedivided into: shelf type, flat type, island type, etc.
在冷链物流中使用多的信息技术就是GIS，又称为地理信息系统又称为地学信息系统或资源与环境信息系统，是以采集、存储、管理、描述和分析与地球表面及空间地理分布有关数据的信息系统。
The most used information technology in cold chain logistics isGIS, also known as geographic information system, also known asgeographic information system or resource and environmentalinformation system. Information systems about data.
