Tower Cold Chain unveils live tracking feature in collaboration with ELPRO to enhance Tower's advanced passive temperature-controlled containers, offering customers near real-time insights into their shipments throughout the transit process when renting a KTEvolution solution.
The live tracking option, available for Tower’s parcel sized KTEvolution range in 26 litre and 57 litre sizes, delivers comprehensive monitoring of shock, tilt, altitude, location and internal/external temperatures. Particularly beneficial for temperature sensitive pharmaceutical shipments, this technology ensures end-to-end transparency, which is crucial for high-value or direct-to-patient deliveries.
James Vann, product development and innovation manager at Tower Cold Chain says, “Through this collaboration with ELPRO, Tower Cold Chain strengthens its ability to safeguard the integrity of our customer’s temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products. With many pharmaceutical products requiring end-to-end security, the live tracking option will be indispensable for maintaining high levels of quality assurance, compliance, and process optimization.”
Key Takeaways:
- The ELPRO logger will notify and alert users in cases of temperature deviations, allowing for immediate and proactive intervention – enhancing quality assurance, compliance and reducing costs associated with the damage or spoilage of all-important, valuable products.
- By utilizing this new live tracking capability, customers are not only able to optimize their cold chain processes but also mitigate risks and address any unforeseen circumstances as they happen, equipped with near real time IoT data.
- This latest addition to Tower's suite of offerings follows the recent introduction of other value-added services earlier in 2024, including the Tower Control Center. This online portal enables customers to access comprehensive shipment data, documents and the ability to utilize a journey simulation tool, further enhancing efficient planning and risk mitigation.
