Reinventing cold chain logistics for Pfizer

Written by Dummy | Mar 15, 2024 3:09:25 PM

In 2021 the world was in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pfizer/BioNTech had produced the world’s first vaccine - but it needed to be stored and transported at ultra-low temperatures to remain effective. With such prescriptive storage requirements, real-time temperature monitoring in transit would be paramount.

 

As billions of vaccines were prepared for distribution across the globe, logistics company Controlant were called in to ensure the safe delivery of effective vaccines.

Controlant’s reusable, real-time data loggers integrated with Pfizer’s control tower technologies to help manage temperature proactively. As the global distribution programme for the new vaccine ramped up, Controlant needed to scale production of these devices - fast.
