Monitoring solutions play a larger role in the cold chain than any other type of supply chain. They ensure that products are safe, and fresh, under strict temperature requirements. Without monitoring, most products could lose effectivenessand potentially endanger someone’s life. As the cold chain business rises in demand, so does the need Read more…
Visibility helps improve performance in the supply chain. Not all companies, however, have these solutions integrated into the business process. In fact, more than half of the global pharma and logistics companies employ only partial visibility solutions. Ensuring visibility while maintaining desired temperatures across all points of the supply chain is a Read more…
We all know how difficult it is to transport delicate and sensitive drugs and vaccines. No matter how difficult, it is necessary, nonetheless. Patients need these products. To receive them, patients rely on pharma and logistics companies. Maintaining cold temperatures is challenging. Problems and failures are bound to happen. To prevent these, Read more…
When it comes to delivery, people don’t care much about the planes, trains, and ships involved in the process. What they do mind is how immediate a product reaches their hands. Whether that’s from an online store or at the shelf in a physical store — they only evaluate the Read more…
How do water-packs and vial location in packaging affect the freezing of vaccines? This article examines the best practices to avoid freezing. The risk of freezing adds a burden to the already complicated cold chain. The cold chain requires that all vaccines be refrigerated, from manufacturing to administration because heat Read more…
A large percentage of cold chain products go to waste every year. It’s true that the cold chain is a difficult process, and refrigeration of products throughout the supply chain requires significant effort and expense. Sometimes wastages are caused by inconsistencies in the system – some aspects of the cold Read more…
A guide to the best practices and industry standards when handling temperature sensitive vaccines. The challenge in vaccine handling lies in its sensitivities. Because vaccines are temperature-sensitive and light-sensitive, the process of transporting and storing them is more challenging than other types of supply chains. Temperature deviations are the last Read more…
Medicines and vaccines are temperature-sensitive products. When they are exposed to temperatures that are too high or too low, they can lose their stability or their ability to protect against diseases. What makes them lose their stability? Read our complete guide on vaccine sensitivities to temperature and light: How Vaccine Read more…
Active refrigeration or active temperature-controlled packaging is useful in warehouses and large stores. In transport and “last-mile” delivery, however, passive temperature-controlled packaging reigns supreme as the future of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products. What is Passive Temperature-Controlled Packaging? Unlike active devices, passive packaging requires no electrical connection to maintain cool temperatures. Their Read more…
How smart can cold chain packaging be? The global pharma industry is expected to blow up in the coming decades. With its rise comes another form of increasingly temperature-sensitive drugs and biological products. The cold chain industry is feeling pressured as never before to develop more sophisticated packaging with the Read more…
