In North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , operators representing 22% of the sample plan to build new -29 [degrees] C warehouses, and 51% new -18 [degrees] facilities. Rates are 23% and 42% in the same categories for planned additions, and this despite the fact that 72.8% of the weighted sample sees turnover remaining the same and 44.4% projects the same for inventories. Projected construction for 2001 is running far ahead of that a year ago, when only six percent of the North American sample planned new -29 [degrees] and 15% new -18 [degrees] facilities. The rate of planned new construction is also up in Asia and the Pacific Rim Pacific Rim, term used to describe the nations bordering the Pacific Ocean and the island countries situated in it. In the post–World War II era, the Pacific Rim has become an increasingly important and interconnected economic region. , at 34% for -29 [degrees] C and 62% for -18 [degrees] C projects, compared to 25% each in last year's survey returns. In Asia and the Pacific Rim, PRW "Parents are watching."

"In almost all categories of the survey, we see continued expansion of the PRW industry," said William William, crown prince of Germany William or Frederick William, 1882–1951, crown prince of Germany, son of William II. In World War I he commanded (1914) an army on the Western Front and was nominal commander in the German attack T. Gee, chairman of the International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses The International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses(IARW) came into existence in 1891 when a number of conventional warehouse men took on the demands of storing perishable food and soon realized the increased challenge and complexity of operating temperature controlled storage (IARW), which co-sponsors the Global Frozen Foods Refrigerated Services Trade Survey with Quick Frozen Foods International. "It is evident that the strong reliance on the PRW industry by the food companies continues to grow. It is encouraging to see that the industry continues to add value to the food distribution chain." "As chairman of the IARW Trends Committee, I am very interested in these figures and what they imply for the future of the PRW industry," commented Gregory P. Hanson Hanson may refer to:
Although the returns from Europe were fragmentary frag·men·tar·y adj. Consisting of small, disconnected parts: a picture that emerges from fragmentary information. frag compared to those from the two other regions, Theo W.M. van Sambeeck, the IARW's European Division director, thought that at least some of the responses confirmed significant trends. Automatic rack purchases are planned by 54% of the sample, for example, and European PRWs need them because they are moving more into distribution -- which means getting the goods in and out as quickly as possible. As for construction plans being limited almost entirely to -29 [degrees] C warehouses, he said, this reflects a trend to deep-frozen as opposed to refrigerated storage -- bananas ba·nan·as adj. Slang Crazy: "That's the horrible thing when you're bananas don't rule the racks any more. Van Sambeeck also considered it significant that one of the applications of computers showing the greatest increase is energy management. Only 17% of the warehouses in the weighted sample had implemented computerized computerized adapted for analysis, storage and retrieval on a computer. computerized axial tomography see computed tomography. energy management at the time of the survey, but the projected rate for the near future was 71%. A number of European countries are mandating energy management, he said, and PRWs have to get with the program. Some anomalies in the 2001 survey surely reflect changes in the sample base, especially for Asia and the Pacific Rim, where some statistics -- especially for computer utilization -- show a steep drop from last year. That was because China, which has a lot more warehouses than Japan, weighed in this year. Chinese warehouses are smaller than average, and not as well equipped -- yet, as construction plans attest To solemnly declare verbally or in writing that a particular document or testimony about an event is a true and accurate representation of the facts; to bear witness to.

The Asia-Pacific Rim response this year included PRW operators from Australia and India as well as China and Japan, while one operator from South Africa South Africa, Afrikaans Suid-Afrika, officially Republic of South Africa, republic (2005 est. pop. 44,344,000), 471,442 sq mi (1,221,037 sq km), S Africa. was thrown in with Europe because there was no other place to put it. Most European respondents In the context of marketing research, a representative sample drawn from a larger population of people from whom information is collected and used to develop or confirm marketing strategy. were small companies with one to four warehouses, and that may have biased the results. Van Sambeeck doubted, for example, that cross docking is actually as prevalent in Europe as shown in the sample. On the other hand, the 71% weighted response for growing inventories and turnover finds support elsewhere. Vacant space is hard to find in European coldstores these days, at least in the Netherlands, which is a port of entry for the entire continent. Eurofrigo, a Dutch unit of Japan's Nichirei, reported last winter (QFFI QFFI Quick Frozen Foods International , January 2001) that its facilities were so full that it just couldn't take any more meat, fish or french fries French fry n. A thin strip of potato fried in deep fat. Often used in the plural. . Part of the reason was that it had to turn over one of its coldstores to sister company HIWA, which didn't have enough room for all the orange juice concentrate coming in from Brazil. Kloosterboer, another Dutch cold storage company, expanded one of its Rotterdam facilities by 60,000 meters last year for a total of 285,000 -- but it too is finding it hard to keep up with demand and is putting another 60,000-cubic meter addition onto its 925,000-cubic meter warehouse at Vlissingen to better compete for the frozen orange juice Noun 1. frozen orange juice - orange juice that has been concentrated and frozen orange-juice concentrate concentrate - a concentrated form of a foodstuff; the bulk is reduced by removing water orange juice - bottled or freshly squeezed juice of oranges business. The company also runs a 70,000-cubic meter juice blending operation. Indications are that the Dutch situation parallels that elsewhere in Europe, where major PRW chains are reportedly expanding their operations. There are a number of areas in which purchasing plans by PRWs in Europe are running ahead of last year's. For example, 71% plan to buy polyurethane insulation panels this year compared to 60% last year, and 54% are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. screw screw, simple machine consisting essentially of a solid cylinder, usually of metal, around which an inclined plane winds spirally, either clockwise or counterclockwise. compressors (none last year)and 58% for condensers (50% last year). Air curtain
Planned purchases in North America for ammonia (85%) and screw (82%)compressors are way ahead of those for 2000 (24% and 19%), and there is also more interest in standard items like condensers (77% versus 34%), coils (76% vs. 49%) and fans and blowers (77% vs 36%). North Americans also want more lift trucks and doors of all kinds. When it comes to computer usage, North American figures are probably more reliable than others because so many more companies responded than from those other regions. Even so, some of the changes may reflect changes in the sample as much as actual trends. For example, 80% reported that they have bar coding technology now, compared to just 23% last year. The fact that 20% now report using desktop computers compared to 45% last year might indicate a big rush into networking, but the percentage for networked desktops this year is 74%, only a little ahead of 71% last year. Still, the across the board gains for computer utilization in areas that were previously neglected like management information systems (97% versus 52%), traffic and routing (73% versus 23%) and energy management (85% versus 48%) must surely have a basis in reality. Moreover, 75% of the North American sample now reports having logistics software packages, compared to 33% a year ago. Public refrigerated warehouses need to talk to their customers and suppliers, and increasingly they do it through computer connections like EDS (Electronic Data Systems, Plano, TX, www.eds.com) Founded in 1962 by H. Ross Perot (independent candidate for the President of the U.S. in 1992), EDS is the largest outsourcing and data processing services organization in the country. and WINS. The percentage for North Ameriac is 96% this year compared to 83% a year ago, although fax usage has also increased from 93% to 97%. Direct links with both customers and suppliers are way up as well. Remember telexes? They're still listed on the survey form, but few use them any more. And more and more refrigerated warehouses are on the Internet Internet Publicly accessible computer network connecting many smaller networks from around the world. It grew out of a U.S. Defense Department program called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), established in 1969 with connections between computers at the , which they use for everything from e-mail, advertising and marketing, and posting e-brochures to logistics management Logistics Management is that part of Supply Chain Management that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective, forward, and reverse flow and storage of goods, services, and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet , market research, checking out prices on hardware they want to buy, and even services like customer access to inventories. Service is more and more important to the PRW industry. More and more refrigerated warehouses around the world are offering on-site freezing: 89% in North America, 92% in Europe and 97% in Asia and the Pacific Rim. On-site repacking is also on the upswing, with 96%in Asia and the Pacific Rim, 74%in North America and 75% in Europe now engaged. On the other hand, rental of processing space (78%)shows up only among North American facilities this year. Moreover, there has been little or no increase -- except in North America -- in the number of warehouses renting office space to customers or others. Rates went from 41% to 86% and from 34% to 72%, respectively, for those services in North America. Cross docking is almost universal among PRW operators, and that didn't change this year. Direct sales, never a popular option, didn't gain any popularity this year. But a few operators mentioned additional services, such as weight verification, meat inspection, sampling, pick-and-pack, customs and export services, etc. Everybody wants to have some proof of quality and performance, but once-touted programs like ECR ECR Efficient Consumer Response ECR European Congress of Radiology ECR Electron Cyclotron Resonance ECR El Camino Real (Kings Highway; California) ECR Electronic Cash Register ECR East Coast Radio (South Africa) and TQM (Total Quality Management) An organizational undertaking to improve the quality of manufacturing and service.

Back to School in Leuven European coldstore operators honed their skills last month at the annual Education Day and Strategy Day in Leuven, Belgium, sponsored by the IARW's sister group, the World Food Logistics Organization (WFLO WFLO World Food Logistics Organization (Alexandria, Virginia) ). Marketing of logistics services, which is far more advanced in North America than in Europe -- Van Sambeeck estimated that three quarters of European operations are still strictly in the storage business -- was a prime topic. Other subjects covered at the two-day affair included the burgeoning of the foodservice (catering) market, applied technologies like automated au·to·mate v. au·to·mat·ed, au·to·mat·ing, au·to·mates v.tr. 1.
