How Online Grocery Shopping is Reshaping Commercial Refrigeration

Meeting the Demands of the Online Grocery Boom

The way we shop for groceries has undergone a dramatic shift. Gone are the days of weekly trips to the supermarket; today's consumers are embracing the convenience of online grocery shopping and food delivery. This trend is booming, and it's driving a surge in demand for innovative refrigeration solutions.


At AM Refrigeration, we're at the forefront of this exciting transition. We understand that online grocery fulfillment centers and delivery vehicles require specialized refrigeration systems to maintain food safety and quality.


Let's explore the two key areas where commercial refrigeration is playing a vital role in the online grocery revolution:


1. Cold Storage in Fulfillment Centers:

Imagine a vast warehouse filled with fresh produce, dairy products, and frozen meals. These fulfillment centers store a mind-boggling amount of inventory, and keeping everything at the right temperature is crucial. Here's where our expertise comes in:

  • Large-Scale Refrigeration Systems: We design and install industrial-grade refrigeration systems capable of maintaining consistent temperatures across the entire facility.
  • Energy Efficiency: We prioritize energy-saving technologies to keep your operating costs low, without compromising food safety.
  • Customization: Every fulfillment center has unique needs. We offer customized solutions to meet your specific requirements, from blast chilling rooms to multi-temperature storage zones.


2. Specialized Refrigeration for Delivery Vehicles:

The last mile of the online grocery journey is just as important as efficient storage. Refrigerated delivery vehicles ensure your customers receive their groceries fresh and flavorful.  Although we do not carry refrigerated vehicles for purchase, we do rent portable walk ins.  The following are some items to consider when purchasing a refrigerated fleet:

  • Reliable Temperature Control: Technologically advanced transport refrigeration units maintain consistent temperatures throughout the delivery journey, regardless of external conditions.
  • Multiple Temperature Zones: Many delivery vehicles carry a variety of grocery items, each requiring a specific temperature range.
  • Fuel Efficiency: We understand that fuel costs are a major concern, and some units are designed to be energy-efficient, reducing fuel consumption without sacrificing performance.


At AM Refrigeration, we're passionate about providing innovative solutions for the ever-evolving commercial refrigeration landscape. As the online grocery market continues to expand, we're here to ensure that temperature-controlled logistics keep pace.
