Food Medications
For food, medicines and other products, maintaining the appropriate temperature throughout the supply chain is the key to quality control, compliance and profitability of the product.
At the fast pace of the supply chain, it may be difficult to protect products from points of origin to final destinations due to the lack of visibility of the load's location and its condition at any time. No clear real-time information, it can be difficult to maintain the integrity of the product, to fulfil compliance orders, control costs and manage risks.
Thanks to the use of load monitoring sensors based on Internet of Things technology (Iot), companies can now track the cargo to its final destination. When sensors travel with the load, there is more detail in real-time temperature and location data recorded.
This detailed data, when used effectively, lead to the information that companies need to make sure their cargo is in good condition at all times.
Use data to improve quality and functionality
Sensitech found that customers who use a multifaceted approach to collect, the management and analysis of their supply chain data have a better opportunity to improve quality and operational efficiency. With this approach, customers can use effective data to:
- Transaction Decisions. Real-time and historical data collection helps customers make daily tactical decisions, such as receiving notifications of interference with shipments during transport, or the use of this data to facilitate the acceptance or rejection of decisions at dock level by dispatch on arrival.
- Continuous improvement decisions. Data collection over time develops in-depth analyses to help customers identify trends and patterns, facilitate efficiency in quality control and operations and create long-term continuous improvements.
This approach is supported by these three key data strategies:
- Collect clean and comprehensive data leading to active results and measurable improvements
- Consume data in a way that makes it easier to make tactical and strategic decisions.
