CRYOPDP Temperature Controlled Logistics

The Life Sciences industries face complex temperature-controlled logistic challenges in maintaining even and prescribed temperatures across the supply route from manufacture to final delivery.

These challenges have become even more pressing with the widespread adoption of biological and genetic-based therapies and vaccines that are particularly temperature-sensitive.

Meanwhile, shipping of all pharmaceutical and biotech products is subject to increasingly stringent regulations, ensuring compliance with FDA and EU Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines and the technical requirements for transporting sensitive consignments, particularly by air. These regulatory challenges are particularly complex in a globalised market involving a series of overlapping or conflicting regulation regimes and widely diverging infrastructures.

A further concern is data validation and control of the pharma and clinical supply chain, requiring end-to-end data visibility involving multiple stakeholders to mitigate risks such as theft, counterfeiting, tampering, contamination, temperature excursions, and misrouting.

All life sciences players are constantly compelled to prioritise cost management to balance the costs of delivery against the need to ensure quality, security, and compliance against a general background of ever-increasing customer expectations, inflationary pressures, global supply chain bottlenecks, labour shortages, cybersecurity threats, and mounting climatic disruption with more frequent extreme weather events.

Meeting these challenges requires logistics providers to work harder and smarter, applying rigorous standards and quality management systems in their daily operations and leveraging new technologies such as blockchain Internet of Things (IoT) data connectivity to produce more secure and efficient solutions.
