How will Artificial Intelligence change the cold chain?

Minneapolis, MN, USA: Thermo King asked ChatGPT – an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool – what the impact of AI will be on the cold chain.

Thermo King asked ChatGPT a series of questions about AI and the cold chain.

  • What will the main impact of AI be on refrigerated transport across the end-to-end cold chain?
  • Can AI help deliver measurable cost and efficiency savings? And how?
  • What role can AI play in delivering a more sustainable cold chain?

Declan McAndrew, vice president of connectivity at Thermo King, reviewed the answers – he did not always agree with ChatGPT’s conclusions and predictions.

“At Thermo King we’re already embracing AI in a variety of different ways, not least in the design of future products,” said McAndrew. “Where we can quickly test our assumptions for how customers use a technology, then use AI to build a model of actual operational conditions.

“That means we can constantly refine our units, and ensure they really are delivering the efficiency and performance our clients want. That’s the true value of AI for me, a story of continued improvement toward a fully optimized global cold chain.”
