A benchmark in the import of Asian food products
Cominport, part of TAKARA, a global leader in the manufacturing and distribution of Asian products, specialises in importing high-end Japanese food products. Based in Málaga, Cominport (formerly known as Amaran) has over 24 years of experience in the sector. It currently offers around 1,200 product lines, serving five Andalusian provinces, with plans to expand further in the region.
Its 5,000 m² facilities in Málaga serve as the nerve centre for handling refrigerated, frozen, and deep-frozen products. Their commitment to quality positions them as a trusted and exclusive supplier for the hospitality industry.
How to ensure quality and minimise risks?
For Cominport, maintaining the cold chain and meeting strict quality standards — both internal and external — is a daily challenge. Before implementing the Borea System, these processes were managed with rudimentary tools that proved insufficient for today’s demands.
The risk of losing goods due to cold storage failures or power outages was a constant concern. In addition, they needed a system that would enable them to take real-time action in the event of any incident, ensuring cold chain traceability and the quality of their products.
With a wide range of products requiring specific conditions — from deep freezers at -60 °C for tuna to refrigerated chambers for other foods — Cominport needed an innovative solution that could provide control, efficiency, and peace of mind.
Torsa’s Borea System: the solution for temperature and humidity monitoring in logistics
To address these challenges, Cominport placed its trust in Torsa’s Borea System. This solution combines advanced technology and enables real-time monitoring to oversee and ensure optimal temperature and humidity conditions in their cold storage rooms and freezers.
The installation included strategically placed sensors in each cold room and freezer, connected to a central unit that provides continuous data. This allows Cominport to immediately detect any deviations and take corrective action remotely, minimising the impact on operations and ensuring that their products maintain the quality their customers expect.
The result: cost savings and greater efficiency
The implementation of the Borea System has not only improved facility monitoring but also delivered tangible benefits in terms of cost savings and operational efficiency:
- Significant energy savings: The system helps optimise energy consumption by preventing motors from overworking during temperature deviations, especially during loading and unloading processes. This not only reduces costs but also contributes to more sustainable operations.
- Guaranteed regulatory compliance: thanks to continuous monitoring, Cominport can meet strict internal and external quality regulations, ensuring that the cold chain is never broken and that products reach customers in optimal conditions. The system not only allows real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity conditions in their cold rooms and freezers but also provides full traceability. This means they can generate accurate and detailed reports that demonstrate compliance with current regulations at any time. These automatic records are essential for audits, quality inspections, and reviews by regulatory authorities.
- Immediate response to incidents: real-time monitoring enables quick detection and action in the event of any failure in the cold rooms or freezers, preventing product loss and ensuring they can always meet customer demand.
- Competitive advantage: Borea’s advanced monitoring systems are a key differentiator when customers visit Cominport’s facilities. This strengthens their image as a reliable supplier committed to quality.
“Thanks to Torsa’s Borea System, we are at ease knowing we comply with the most demanding regulations, and we have noticed a significant cost saving and a substantial increase in efficiency.”
