Cold Chain Platform

The project proposal is part of the Supply Chain of the pharmaceutical sector, and in particular of those drugs/devices that must be kept within specific temperature ranges in order to be effective on the patient. This project aims at the realisation of a platform that allows the management of all the significant data necessary for a complete traceability of all the activities carried out on the drugs/devices subjected to the Cold Chain (from production to administration), so as to demonstrate and certify that the product has been handled throughout the Supply Chain in a manner that complies with its characteristics. The proposed solution stems from the pharmaceutical sector’s need to demonstrate that it is operating more effectively throughout the drug/device lifecycle, guaranteeing its production quality but also its identifiability, traceability and integrity throughout the supply chain. The use of IoT technologies allows access to information directly from the source that generates it, the use of Rfi-id tags allows identification of materials through smart labels, while Blockchain technology allows the use of a shared digital ledger.
