Overview

Objectives:

SmartCOOLBOX is presented as a Logistic service for high-reliability temperature-controlled products, based on:

  • SmartCOOLBOX itself, an intelligent, connected, reusable and modular ISOTHERMAL CONTAINER…
  • … that is OFFERED AS A SERVICE, which simplifies the managing of the transport process

SmartCOOLBOX is an integrated combination of several innovations and technologies which feature:

  • Use of light and degradable materials, offering longer life isothermal conditions range at the same time (warrantied for 7 days, following the defined storage and handling conditions)
  • Modularity and adaptation to actual goods measures
  • Smart sensors for tracking the conditions of the transport
  • Smart alerts system to track, and prevent or detect incidents, enabling rescue actions
  • Reusability of boxes and materials
  • Service covers the full supply chain, including reverse logistics

With SmartCOOLBOX, hospitals, labs and generic logistics operators may handle materials without relevant precautions, increasing safety while decreasing costs. Pharma and biotech industries will reduce losses due to temperature excursions and, at the same time, will open new markets such as difficult geographic areas, as well as disaster areas or in conflict regions. From environmental perspective, savings will come by modular reusable boxes and less wasted products.
