Temperature monitoring is a critical process in most industries, from pharmaceuticals to food production. It can help prevent spoilage, product failure and loss of revenue. Temperature monitoring provides critical information and alerts that can reduce costs and ensure compliance with regulatory agencies.
If you’re working in the pharma industry or any other where temperature monitoring is important, this guide will walk you through the different aspects of choosing a temperature monitoring solution
Temperature monitoring is one of the major concerns in pharmaceutical industry.
Temperature monitoring is one of the major concerns in pharmaceutical industry. The improper storage conditions, such as temperature fluctuations can cause loss of product integrity and even promote microbial growth. The benefits of temperature monitoring include:
- Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements for storage, transport and distribution
- Reduce loss of revenue due to spoilage
- Reducing waste due to spoilage or discarding damaged materials
- Minimizing safety risks associated with unsafe temperatures
Freezer/Refrigeration failure is one of the major problems that can affect the quality of vaccines in particular.
Freezer/refrigeration failure is one of the major problems that can affect the quality of vaccines in particular. This can be due to multiple reasons, including power failure, equipment failure, door and configuration issues.
This type of failure can cause a range of issues ranging from vaccine degradation and loss of inventory to loss of revenue.
Maintaining the proper temperature across the supply chain.
Temperature monitoring is not only important for pharmaceutical companies, but also for strategic partners like manufacturers and distributors. Proper temperature management is needed from the production process all the way through storage and transportation. Monitoring of cold rooms, freezers, reefer trucks and vaccination boxes are just some examples of points that need to be monitored with software that visualizes all points in one portal.
Solutions should be scalable and easy to install
In the past, temperature monitoring solutions were complex and costly to install. Today, as more industries adopt IoT technologies, companies have a wider choice of options when selecting a solution.
Some considerations for choosing a solution include:
- Every solution is different and requires multiple sensor integrations such as humidity sensors, occupancy sensors, water leak detectors etc., making them difficult to scale up or down at any point in time
- Are they easy to install? There is no future for wired solutions! They should be completely scalable i.e., to increase the monitoring nodes any time without any issues.
It should be reliable and accurate
