Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Protection Starts Here
Temperature fluctuations, impact, and mishandling can compromise pharmaceutical integrity. Ensure compliance and product safety with our industry-leading monitoring solutions.
Why Temperature & Impact Monitoring is Critical in Pharma
Temperature Fluctuations – Can render medications ineffective.
Impact & Mishandling – Damage to packaging and fragile products.
Regulatory Non-Compliance – Failure to meet safety standards.
Pharmaceutical products, including vaccines, biologics, and temperature-sensitive drugs, require strict environmental control during storage and transport. A minor temperature deviation or impact can compromise efficacy, compliance, and patient safety.
KEY RISK
Monitor, Protect, and Comply with Confidence
Cold Chain Logistics Grow Alongside Biologics
Bringing a new drug to market is a complex and costly process, requiring an average of $2.6 billion and 10 years for approval. However, temperature fluctuations, impacts, and vibrations during transportation can compromise a drug in seconds, making it ineffective or even harmful to patients.
As pharmaceuticals shift from mass-market drugs to precision-targeted therapies, proper handling and storage have become critical. The development of biologics, medications derived from living cells, along with an increasing variety of vaccines, has heightened the need for strict cold chain management. According to Pharmaceutical Commerce, nearly half of newly approved drugs in recent years require specialized environmental controls to maintain their effectiveness and ensure patient safety.
While biologics, vaccines, and blood products often require refrigerated or frozen storage, most pharmaceuticals are stable at controlled room temperature (CRT). When protected from extreme conditions, these medications can be safely transported via standard trucking or air freight. However, like temperature-sensitive drugs, CRT products are now routinely monitored to ensure they remain within safe temperature ranges throughout the global pharmaceutical supply chain.
Optimizing Pharmaceutical Logistics with Supply Chain Monitors
Pharmaceutical supply chain monitors provide critical visibility into shipping conditions, allowing businesses to identify when and where temperature excursions or mishandling occur. This accountability helps prevent future issues, ensuring compliance and product integrity.
One pharmaceutical company discovered a temperature excursion happened on its own loading dock due to improper handling. Another learned how tarmac exposure, even in mild weather, impacted shipments, leading to packaging and handling improvements. These insights help reduce product loss, prevent drug shortages, and enhance risk management.
With logistics condition monitoring, pharmaceutical companies can proactively protect product quality, optimize shipping processes, and prevent costly disruptions before they happen.
