Pharmaceutical Temperature Monitoring – blood storage, vaccine storage, lab specimen storage etc. require high accuracy in temperature monitoring.
Client
The client is a leading medicine supplier across the country and plays a vital role between medicine manufacturers and pharmaceutical owners by supplying medicines on time under required temperature.
Business Requirement:The Need For Pharmaceutical Temperature Monitoring
As the client deals with supplying medicines, they have to be carried out from one place to another and it is very essential to maintain the temperature in between a set threshold. The client’s requirement was to monitor the temperature inside their delivery vehicle; along with that they required a single sophisticated system to monitor the parameters of chiller units. Chiller units were fitted in their vehicles to carry medicines which will maintain a certain temperature inside the unit.
Reduce Risk
Medical assets such as vaccines, organs/blood, etc. need to be maintained at the right temperature, if not it will risk the patient’s life.
Reduce wastage
Vaccines and medicines when shipped over long distances it is essential to maintain and monitor the right temperature to reduce wastage.
Monitor Histroy
FDA, WHO, and other regulatory bodies have made it mandatory to log the temperature of medical assets when they are shipped/stored.
Why TPT02 should be installed?
1.Built-in light sensor will raise an alert if youir carton carrying high-end merchandise is being broken into, reducing the risk of your business falling victim to a security breach.
2.Built-in temperature sensor will proactively identify and react to a deviation from a pre-set temperature range, lessning the rist of delivering spoiled goods for medical supplies
Healthcare and Chemical Supplies such as medical syringes or hazardous substances all require special handing to ensure safe delivery.
Pharmaceutical Temperature Monitoring Solution
The client implements – Vehicle Tracking & temperature monitoring hosted software for tracking and monitoring the temperature of the chiller unit.
TPT02 wireless – Leading global technology leader specializes in delivering real-time automated GPS tracking solutions for monitoring and managing of fleets and assests. TPT02 not only a telematics device has various customized features to fit every tracking need.
The client was provided with the best GPS tracking device TPT02, along with the provision to monitor temperature inside the vehicle and the chiller unit. Chiller unit will be analyzed and monitored by TPT02 device and desired parameters will be shown to the end user in the live portal in addition to the standard vehicle tracking reports.
Get alerted! Not alarmed !!
Get proactive and safeguard your temperature sensitive assets before an exception occurs. With configurable alert settings, the TPT02 pharmaceutical temperature GPS monitoring device can send automated Text/Email alerts when there is an exception in any of the monitored parameters like temperature, location. etc.
tpt02 also enabled the client with real time notifications and alerts based on the temperature variation between the thresholds. The client’s pain point was addressed directly by providing single solution and the solution we delivered exceeds the exception of the client.
The Application
With Diweitrack Web and mobile application can give the assets temperature in real time. The application gives a birds eye view of all refrigerated trucks that are monitored – their location, temperature, speed, last pit stop etc. in a simple map or table view. The temperature along with location history can be downloaded as weekly, monthly report.
Real-time data
Monitor medical assets temperature remotely in real-time at regular intervals
Get alerted
Get alerted when the temperature goes beyond the set threshold

1. Switch on the device
• Press the green power button for 3 seconds
• A slow blinking blue light says device has found a network connection
• A slow blinking red light says low battery (device can be charged via microUSB)
2. Attach the device to goods
• For first time use, gently peel the backing away from the adhesive on reverse of device
• Press device firmly against the exterior packaging of goods being monitored or place inside cartons
• For repeated use, the device can be attached to goods with tape, string or cable tie (avoid covering the light sensor)
3.Charging the Device
•For best results, the device should be fully charged before first use.
•Once fully charged, the device should maintain its charge for about 2 months.
•A continuous red light during charging means the device is fully charged.

5.FAQ
What’s the purpose of the Red LED on the device?
The Red LED represents battery condition.
When the battery is low, the red light will blink slowly.
While being charged, the red light blinks rapidly.
Once fully charged, the red light glows continually.
What’s the purpose of the Blue LED on the device?
The Blue LED represents wireless connectivity.
When the device is first switched on, the blue light will blink rapidly, searching for a mobile phone signal.
When a signal is found, the blue light will blink slowly.
The blue light will switch itself off after 2minutes to conserve the battery.
When you switch the device off, the blue light will glow continually before shutting down.
How do I charge the device?
The battery should be charged before each usage. The device will only be partially charged when you first receive it.
The battery can be charged via the charger or via a USB cable from your laptop. While being charged, the red light on the device will blink rapidly.
Once fully charged, this red light will glow continually.
The battery level of a device can be monitored via the web application. An alert notification will occur if the battery levels drops too low.
These alerts can be configured via the Alert Rules section of the web application.
Why is device location only approximate?
The device determines location via LBS cell tower triangulation and, unlike GPS, requires no satellite visibility.
Accuracy will vary depending on the number of cell towers in the area. In large cities, typical accuracy is +/-500m. In remote rural areas, the accuracy may be +/-3000m.
How accurate is the temperature sensor?
The temperature sensor is accurate to +/-0.5°C for typical cold chain temperatures (-20°C to 20°C).
