Real-Time Cargo Cold-Chain Temperature Compliance in Pharmaceuticals
A specialized healthcare logistics provider transporting high-value vaccines and biologics in refrigerated trailer units across national distribution networks.
Run on Vahana · Asset Reliability & Fleet
The challenge
Temperature excursions above strict thermal limits (2°C to 8°C) ruined sensitive pharmaceutical shipments, causing million-dollar cargo losses.
Legacy standalone temperature loggers were audited only after delivery, discovering spoilage after cargo was delivered.
Refrigeration unit diesel engine failures during driver rest stops went undetected for hours.
How Vahana solves it
Continuous Sensor & Telematics Stream
Vahana integrates trailer temperature probes, door open sensors, compressor status, and GPS location into one stream.
Predictive Excursion Alerting
Detects thermal drift trends, alerting dispatchers 45 minutes before internal temperatures breach regulatory limits.
Automated Remote Compressor Override
Allows remote dispatchers to adjust reefer set-points or restart refrigeration units via OTA commands.
Geofenced Door Lock Controls
Enforces cargo door lock security, allowing door unlocks only within validated warehouse geofences.
GDP Compliance Audit Generation
Exports certified Good Distribution Practice (GDP) temperature audit reports automatically upon trip completion.
The outcome
