Logistics providers in healthcare face pervasive challenges verifying that pharmaceutical shipments avoid extreme heat or cold during transit. Zebra solves this pervasive issue efficiently with the ZT411 printer, Zebra TransTracker, Zebra LIMITmarker, and Zebra FREEZEmarker.
Managing heat spikes in pharmaceutical shipments
Maintaining strict temperature control for critical healthcare and logistics shipments is incredibly difficult. Logistics providers need to verify that bulk deliveries and secondary cartons of sensitive pharmaceuticals do not experience extreme heat or cold spikes during transit. Traditional electronic data loggers present a significant hurdle because they are prohibitively expensive to place in every single small carton leaving the busy distribution center.
Relying on these expensive electronic loggers leads to high costs and operational bottlenecks. Workers must manually download and review data to see if a temperature excursion occurred. This cumbersome workflow delays the receiving process, frustrates staff, and creates massive inefficiencies that can ultimately result in lost revenue and compromised patient care.
The heat spike monitoring solution
The ZT411 printer, Zebra TransTracker, Zebra LIMITmarker, and Zebra FREEZEmarker work in unison to address expensive temperature monitoring challenges. This comprehensive package provides an immediate visual alert system that is extremely cost effective for high volume shipments. It speeds up the receiving process by giving staff a clear accept or reject signal without the need to download extensive data logs upon their arrival at the busy receiving clinic.
