RFID cold chain network
RFID-based cold chain network
PHSE has implemented RFID technology in pharmaceutical transport by borrowing what already happens in the transport and storage of other goods sectors such as retail. The adoption of this technology, which has already entailed and will entail a considerable economic investment by PHSE, has the objective of obtaining an accurate tracking at the level of movement and temperature of each single package sent, certifying the quality and safety of the service and the benefit of the chain and of the patients. In addition, the application of RFID helps reduce the environmental impact of transportation on the supply chain through shorter transit times, eliminating forwarding errors, and not using passive enclosures for temperature management.
Real-time visibility
Labelling
Automatic sorters and RFID printers located in our HuBs and branches apply an RFID tag, characterised by a unique identification code, to each parcel of the shipment.
Data collection and management
The data collected, which is immediately visible through myphse platform, makes it possible to check the history of each individual parcel in real time.
End-to-end
Traceability
The technology enables complete tracking of each individual package (Temperature & Location Monitoring), during the transport phases from collection to delivery to the recipient, increasing the quality of service delivery and reducing hidden reverse logistic costs and the residual risk of operational errors.
