The Life Sciences cold chain is a seamless and interconnected global network of people, equipment, data and processes that helps to ensure the safety and integrity of our medicines and vaccines. As part of a comprehensive, global initiative, Sensitech is working with customers to ensure that their digital transformation efforts drive business process excellence while safeguarding cold chain best practices.

The world produces enough food to feed 10 billion people—more than the current global population—yet nearly 800 million people are chronically undernourished. One proven solution to delivering nutritious food and enhancing food security is investment in the modern cold chain. By adding and integrating new sensors and robotics, automation, telematics, new data flows and analytics, the modern cold chain is evolving into the “smart cold chain.”

The pharmaceutical industry, currently under increasing global regulatory scrutiny, is expanding GCCMP for standard Cold Chain Products to include the storage and transport of CRT products. This article will provide advice and methodology regarding how to best approach CRT shipments.

World Courier Ground Europe has worked in collaboration with Sensitech to fulfill qualification testing for frozen, refrigerated and controlled room temperature conditions at extreme cold and hot ambient temperatures.

Smart cold chain management looks beyond the visible components of monitoring programs to address their underlying structure and stability. One of these critical but less visible components is risk mitigation.

Know the condition of time and temperature-sensitive materials as they progress through the supply chain.

Organizations dealing with perishable products are beginning to find ways to improve cold chain processes that will result in maximum improvement to their bottom lines. By continuously monitoring organizations’ cold chain distribution and storage segments, companies can gain new visibility into their process dynamics.

The regulatory environment for the storage, handling and distribution of pharmaceutical products has changed dramatically with the publication of U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) <1079> “Good Storage and Shipping Practices”.
