Smart multi-trip packaging for use in the pharmaceutical industry

Safe storage and temperature-controlled shipping throughout the medical and pharmaceutical supply chain is vital to the success of treatments. This is why great care must be taken when it comes to replenishing the stocks of hospitals, physicians and pharmacies with healthcare products and medicines.

The BITO PharmaBox is a high-performance packaging solution for your temperature-sensitive goods that meets all regulations for medicines and other products requiring refrigeration.

 

  • GDP-compliant data monitoring

    Tracking of parameters such as temperature, geo-position and humidity in real time

  • Access control

    Your shipment is protected by a digital seal/lock.

  • Passive cooling through flexible PCM packs

    Quick and easy preconditioning, no low temperature cell needed, different temperature ranges (2 - 8°C, 15 - 25°C, -20°C)

  • Cleaning

    Easy-to-clean inserts that prevent direct contact of the cold packs with the goods being shipped

  • A specified temperature range is maintained for of up to 80 hours

    Cooling duration can be set as required

Safe, temperature-controlled shipping

Proper storage and transport throughout the medical and pharmaceutical supply chain is vital to the success of treatments. Special precautions are also required in pharmaceutical wholesaling when it comes to picking either goods stored in bins or cartons or single items/unit loads, when shipping sample material to laboratories or when delivering medicines to patients.

GDP-compliant transport

The supply of medicinal products is not only subject to the Medicinal Products Act, but also to special regulations during transport as defined in the EU Guidelines on Good Distribution Practice (GDP). The Medicinal Products Act regulates the proper and safe supply of medicinal products for human and animal use. The Guidelines on Good Distribution Practice (GDP) is a compilation of all quality assurance requirements and measures to ensure that the quality of medicinal products is maintained throughout all stages of the supply chain. While EU guidelines on GDP are primarily aimed at pharmaceutical wholesalers, appropriate measures should nevertheless be implemented by all participants and responsible staff in the supply chain. This is why freight forwarders and warehouse operators must also establish effective measures to ensure that medicines are stored, transported and handled under appropriate conditions. The GDP guidelines set out the rules for quality management, personnel responsibilities, operational requirements, premises, equipment and proper documentation; they define systematic actions in the case of product returns, suspected drug counterfeiting, contract activities, self-inspection, and finally, they also specify the rules for intermediaries and transportation of pharmaceuticals.

Data loggers from the Beacon series: Smart and simple data tracking

Temperature and humidity records

Data can be easily read with your smartphone

Multi-trip packaging - perfect for distribution cycles

Our data loggers from the Beacon series record temperature and humidity. They are equipped with temperature and humidity sensors and are suited for multiple use.

Data is transmitted via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Each Beacon has a unique ID that is printed on the label and stored in a barcode. The QR code on the label can be scanned with our app. After the barcode has been scanned with a smartphone, it connects to the beacon via BLE and automatically uploads all sensor data to the cloud. A simple browser login is enough to view data, generate shipping reports and mail this information to your recipient.

The Smarthub gateway and monitoring solution provides maximum transparency

Real-time monitoring

Alarm function

Digital seal

The beacons work in perfect combination with the SmartHub range. The SmartHub is an intelligent gateway and real-time monitoring solution that connects your supply chain to the cloud. You benefit from maximum transparency in data transfer such as temperature, humidity, vibration, movement, access and geo-location. A SmartHub can manage multiple beacons at the same time and automatically transfers all data from the surrounding beacons to the cloud.

As SmartLock version, it works as a digital seal and offers reliable real-time access control.

SmartHub technology is a plug-and-play system that allows you to digitise and automate your supply chain, your warehouse and your vehicle fleet.
