KEWFLY Leads Agricultural Modernization with Innovative Smart Cold Chain Technology

KEWFLY Leads Agricultural Modernization with Innovative Smart Cold Chain Technology, Covered by Zhujiang Evening News KEWFLY Refrigeration Equipment, based in Foshan High-tech Zone, has emerged as a key technological driver advancing China’s agricultural modernization through independent R&D of intelligent cold storage solutions, earning full-page coverage from the authoritative *Zhujiang Evening News*. 

Backed by national rural revitalization strategies and Foshan municipal policies prioritizing industrial innovation and the Made in China 2025 initiative, the enterprise focuses on resolving a long-standing agricultural pain point: unsynchronized supply and demand for farm produce, which commonly causes oversupply, poor storage and massive crop waste for domestic farmers. Inspired by global agricultural challenges such as plummeting soybean prices and unmarketable harvests worldwide, KEWFLY pioneered the “Internet + Agriculture” development path to tackle domestic farmers’ “good harvest yet poor profit” dilemma. ## Breakthrough in Core Component R&D to End US Market Monopoly KEWFLY originated as a local manufacturer specializing in two core cold-chain components: condensers and evaporators (dubbed the “Two Core Parts”). Back in 1998, China’s cold chain sector fully relied on imported American-made “Two Core Parts”, with costly foreign production equipment failing to satisfy domestic market demands.

Starting from retrofitting imported production lines, KEWFLY’s R&D team spent years mastering core technology to realize full independent production. Its self-developed core components now occupy over 70% of Guangdong’s local market share. As South China’s top manufacturer of the two key parts and cold storage air coolers, the firm runs seven automated production lines with an annual output of millions of refrigeration accessories, and was honored with the industry’s prestigious Arctic Bear Award in 2013 alongside renowned brands including Gree and Midea. ## Smart Cold Storage: IoT-powered Customized Preservation for Farm Produce Targeting inadequate cold storage awareness and unscientific fresh-keeping practices among smallholder farmers, KEWFLY kicked off joint smart cold storage R&D with top universities back in 2016, becoming South China’s first manufacturer of intelligent cold warehouses. Integrating IoT technology into inbound/outbound inventory, real-time temperature/humidity monitoring and full-cycle cold-chain logistics management, the firm built a massive database after years of field testing, recording customized storage parameters for different agricultural goods. For instance, apples require storage at 0℃~1℃ with 85%~95% relative humidity, while bananas need 9%~95% humidity below 12℃. Once crops are stored in designated zones, the smart system automatically adjusts ambient temperature and humidity matching specific produce requirements.
