Cold Chain Technologies, a global provider of thermal assurance solutions for the distribution and transport of temperature-sensitive products, recently announced a partnership with Cloudleaf, a provider of digital supply chain solutions, to launch Cold Chain Technologies Smart Solutions. The new offering, based on Cloudleaf's Digital Visibility Platform, will allow for real-time, holistic and actionable insights into the location and condition of temperature-sensitive drugs and biologics, including the COVID-19 vaccines being transported in Cold Chain Technologies' thermal shipping containers.

"The need for life sciences companies to have insight into their cold chains has never been more apparent than with the COVID-19 vaccine rollout," said Ranjeet Banerjee, CEO of Cold Chain Technologies. "In choosing a partner to enhance visibility into the end-to-end cold chain, it was crucial that we be able to utilize the latest and most advanced IoT sensor technologies, along with near real-time tracking and data-analytics capabilities which give our customers visibility into the location of their shipments. Cloudleaf's Digital Visibility Platform is sensor agnostic and enables our containers with a prescriptive analysis of vaccine conditions down to the unit level, making it a natural choice for such an important global initiative.”

"There is an enormous opportunity to improve the cold chain logistics for temperature-sensitive drugs and vaccines," said Mahesh Veerina, CEO of Cloudleaf. "We're thrilled to combine the capabilities of our platform in real-time data collection with Cold Chain Technologies' decades of experience in cold chain shipping to contribute to the quick and safe delivery of vaccines around the world." 

As the COVID-19 vaccine rollout ramps up, Cold Chain Technologies will be able to provide its customers visibility through Cold Chain Technologies Smart Solutions, including product location and condition, to ensure vaccines arrive on time with maintained temperature requirement adherence throughout the entire shipping process. Beyond vaccines, the combined solution will track critical parameters for drugs and biologics such as location, temperature and vibration, along with data streams about weather, traffic and flight schedules.
