Rapid rollout of 12 modular cold rooms across a distributor's regional network with centralised monitoring.
Location
São Paulo, Brazil
Capacity
12 × 200 m³ modular cells
Temperature
−22 °C and 0–4 °C cells
Budget
USD $3.8M–$4.6M
Timeline
7 months
Project overview
A Brazilian food distributor needed to add flexible capacity across multiple sites without the timeline of conventional builds. ColdMatch Group tendered a modular design that could be replicated across 12 cells in a single procurement.
Challenge
- Individual site builds would have taken 18+ months in total.
- Different sites had different footprints and access constraints.
- Distributor lacked a central monitoring view across sites.
Solution
- Standard 200 m³ modular cells with 3 layout variants to fit site constraints.
- Shared refrigeration racks per site with common spare parts.
- Cloud monitoring aggregating all 12 cells into one dashboard.
Result
- All 12 cells commissioned within 7 months from PO.
- Spare parts holding reduced 40% via standardisation.
- Central monitoring cut mean-time-to-detect on temperature drift from hours to minutes.
Scope of works
- 12 modular cold room cells
- Shared refrigeration racks
- Standardised spares programme
- Cloud monitoring platform
- Rollout project management
