SCGC launches energy-saving solution for cold storage warehouses ‘CHILLOX’

Partnering with SCGJWD for Thailand's first pilot, advancing Green Logistics

SCGC has launched CHILLOX, an energy-efficient solution for cold storage warehouse businesses in the logistics industry. CHILLOX features technology that consistently maintains stable temperatures within cold storage facilities and provides backup cooling capacity during abnormal situations. This effectively helps preserve the quality of goods stored in the warehouses.

This solution enables warehouses to reduce electricity consumption from cooling by over 15-20%, lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, in collaboration with SCGJWD, the solution has been piloted for the first time at Pacific Cold Storage Company Limited (PCS).

There are plans to expand implementation of cold storage warehouses in other strategic locations nationwide. This initiative aims to reinforce the “Green Logistics” strategy through technology that reduces energy consumption, supports the Net Zero target, and facilitates a tangible shift towards the green economy.

Pisan Uawithya, Managing Director of Texplore Co., Ltd. (Texplore), part of SCGC’s business group, said “… SCGC has developed the CHILLOX solution to effectively stabilize internal temperatures, significantly reducing fluctuations within storage facilities and alleviating compressor workloads, ultimately cutting electricity consumption by up to 15–20%. Additionally, it can store reserve cooling capacity for up to six hours, providing crucial backup during power outages or cooling system malfunctions, preventing inventory spoilage. This feature is particularly well-suited for logistics businesses that require stringent control over product temperature. Furthermore, the CHILLOX solution can also be applied in other industries, including cold chain logistics to preserve the quality of chilled goods during transit, and data centers to ensure an appropriate temperature level for the operation of IT equipment during emergencies.”

Anek Jirathawatchai, Deputy Managing Director of Pacific Cold Storage Company Limited (PCS), a company under the SCGJWD Group, said, “SCGJWD is the largest cold storage warehouse service provider in Thailand, with storage capacity over 200,000 pallet across strategic locations nationwide. These warehouses support products in the food and pharmaceutical sectors, which require consistently controlled low temperatures. The adoption of the CHILLOX solution developed by SCGC marks a significant step forward for SCGJWD in enhancing our cold storage capabilities and advancing environmentally friendly logistics systems. This initiative aligns with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The solution has been piloted at Pacific Cold Storage Company Limited (PCS), with plans to expand its implementation of cold storage facilities at key strategic locations nationwide.”
