Elevated temperatures or sub-zero temperatures can affect the chemical stability of pharmaceuticals and even alter their physical properties. For this reason, it is extremely important to keep medicinal products within a certain temperature range at all times. Pharmaceutical companies must be able to verify the temperature-controlled storage of their products. However, due to the complexity of storage logistics, maintaining and verifying the cold chain can be a daunting task.

A real-time tracking system including temperature monitoring enables continuous maintenance of a temperature-controlled environment in all phases of the storage of pharmaceutical products. It ensures that products requiring a cool environment are stored at a constant temperature of 2 to 8°C. The real-time data can be viewed at any time. If limit values are about to be exceeded, a notification is sent, e.g. in the form of an email.
