Cold Chain Logistics and Continuous Monitoring Solutions from Kaye

Cloud-based monitor of your temperature sensitive product while in storage and distribution

An unbroken cold chain ensures the consistency of temperatures for temperature-sensitive products from manufacturing to usage, which is vital in industries like food and GxP-regulated environments in Pharma and Biotech. Notably, maintaining a cold chain is crucial, as evidenced by the challenges in distributing COVID-19 vaccines. A recent study by the Center of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics found that nearly 25% of vaccines become degraded and lose efficacy by the time they reach their destination, mainly due to improper shipping procedures and storage conditions.
With the recent focus on vaccines, as well as the continuously growing number of biologics and healthcare products, and more global manufacturing, regulatory bodies worldwide have released enhanced GSP (Good Storage Practices) and GDP (Good Distribution Practices) to ensure the safety and efficacy of temperature-sensitive medicinal products. At Kaye, we understand the extreme importance of keeping track of your supplies across the cold chain. Whether you're storing lifesaving pharmaceutical medicines and vaccines or keeping track of biotech assets that are heading to a blood bank, each junction and every mile of transport puts your assets at risk of product damage due to incorrect temperature conditions. That's why Kaye has created some of the most reliable and robust equipment to help monitor the storage environment as an important part of the entire cold chain process.

Key Stages in the Cold Chain Process:

1. Manufacturing: Maintaining specific environmental conditions.
2. Interim Storage: Controlled storage of intermediate and finished products.
3. Distribution Centers: Final storage and transport preparation.
4. Transport: Temperature-controlled logistics to end users or other centers.
