HELSINKI – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Supply chain analytics solution provider Logmore has announced the launch of its latest product. Logmore Dry Ice, a high specification version of Logmore’s original data logger, has been adapted for cold and sub-zero conditions. The solution is designed for sensitive shipments, such as the COVID-19 vaccine as it becomes available.
Since its founding in 2017, Logmore has discontinued monitoring logistics with the use of loggers that sync to the cloud using dynamic QR codes, allowing anyone with a smartphone to update secure systems with the latest conditions and locations from shipments.
Logmore Dry Ice redefines the monitoring of cold chain shipments from standard refrigerator temperatures (2-8 ° C) to deep freeze levels of -100 ° C. This makes it ideal for transporting COVID-19 vaccines, that require deep freezing storage down to -80ºC during their trip. The device’s ability to monitor temperature, humidity, shock, tilt, and light in real time will be critical to ensuring that life-saving vaccines can be delivered under optimal conditions.
Logmore’s technology allows you to monitor shipments from any smartphone, providing an accurate and cost-effective global logistics solution. It allows shipping companies to offer full transparency to all interested parties, differentiating their logistics for COVID-19 vaccines, the best in its class, with the quality guarantees required by buyers and sellers of pharmaceutical products.
The device has an additional sensor connected with a cable. By placing only the external sensor inside the box, the logger can monitor internal temperatures, despite remaining outside the box. In this way, Logmore Dry Ice can withstand much lower temperatures than comparable products, making it ideal for cold boxes that are used to ship pharmaceuticals.
Other dry ice compatible loggers generally must be placed inside cold boxes and can only export data once thawed upon arrival. Also, they sync with other devices via USB connections, which can pose cyber threats. Using QR scanning, shipment recipients can verify that all requirements have been met in transit, without investing in any specialized hardware or software.
In this way, Logmore Dry Ice ensures that vaccines remain within safe parameters throughout their travels by monitoring their temperatures in a reliable, safe and affordable way.
Comparing the total cost of ownership of a standard USB dry ice logging system to Logmore’s solution, after only 5,000 monitored cold boxes are shipped, opting for Logmore Dry Ice represents a savings of approximately € 45,000.
With Logmore, the pharmaceutical industry and public health services can safely and affordably deliver vaccines where they are needed most. When the coronavirus vaccine is ready for distribution, it is anticipated that there will be unprecedented demand in the global logistics industry. The vaccine will be needed for 7 billion people, each of whom may require multiple doses, straining the supply chain network, which is not yet equipped for reliable shipment in deep-frozen.
Compounding the challenge, industry experts estimate that today, about 25% of vaccines reach their destinations in degraded states due to shipping problems, while 20% of all temperature-sensitive products are damage during transport due to cold chain interruptions. Because of these dangers, careful shipping and monitoring of the coronavirus vaccine will be vital.
“The COVID-19 vaccine will be transported around the world, in planes, trucks, through different warehouses, in tropical temperatures,” said Niko Polvinen, Logmore’s chief operating officer. “We want to make sure that each vaccine is safe to use and protects the person who receives it.”
“The vaccine is just around the corner,” Polvinen continued. “From a logistics perspective, this cargo is very susceptible to temperature variations. Any big deviation will ruin the product. Logmore Dry Ice is the only QR data logger that stands up to extreme temperatures and the rigorous requirements of the COVID-19 vaccine. ”
