AVANTE COLD CHAIN TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND SERVICES
AVANTE provides web-based 24/7 end-to-end tracking and monitoring services using its RFID ZONER™-RELAYER™ asset temperature-shock monitoring device, container security device, carrier-based and yard based fixed-site communication links.
Leasing of SMART-TRAKKER™: consisting of one set of RFID ZONER™-RELAYER™ container security device (two ZONER™-CTID tags, as many as required ZONER™-PBID for pallets and contents, and one RELAYER™-CTOR), three personnel ZONER™-SSID badges, and one carrier-based communicator of RELAYER™-CTCR (equipped with GPS, GPRS and SATCOM).
Optional fixed-site installation of networks of nodal and real-time locating system of RELAYER™-RTLS readers along the supply chain. Optional asset-based temperature-shock ZONER™-PBID tags for real-time monitoring and reporting of perishable product conditions to staff onsite and management to facilitate corrective actions and prevention of spoilage.
Flexible service charges based on scheduled regular reporting and real-time exception reporting. This cost effective cold chain management system and service does not require capital investment. Return on investment (ROI) in using this system is immediate and can be tailored to your specific requirements. Ideal for shipping and storage of temperature sensitive vaccines, pharmaceuticals and food products.
End-To-End Real-Time Visibility of Vaccines May Help to Safeguard the 175 Million Dosages Loss
The more than 175 million annual dosage loss of the vaccines transported worldwide is a huge waste of resources and may have caused many deaths that may be prevented.
Real-time visibility and alerts of exceptions and proper preparations may safeguard some of the loss.
End-to-end and real-time visibility is the ultimate system solutions that may save lives.
End-To-End Real-Time Supply Chain Visibility of Temperature and Humidity of Perishable Goods Enhances Tranportation Efficiency and Security
The more than $35 billion annual loss of perishable food and pharmaceutical supplies may be partly prevented with real-time alerts to the shippers and those actually hualing the refrigerated goods. Instead of discovering the loss after the fact, as if often the case with traditional end-of-trip recorders, AVANTE Cold Chain Management System shifts the paradigm by providing real time information to both the shippers and transportation companies.
- Active RFID-based temperature and shock sensor tags (ZONER-CTID and ZONER-ASID) monitor the conditions inside the refrigerated containers and at the refrigerated goods.
- Normal temperature and conditions will be reported periodically (default is every hour) via the RELAYER-CTCR located outside the refrigerated box.
- Exceptions are reported directly to the shipping and receiving parties via GPRS or SATCOM along with the real-time location provided by the embedded GPS.
- Alerts are also provided to the onsite drivers or staff with display and buzzer sounds on RELAYER-CTCR reader for immediate action.
- Staff and driver badges are associated with the events to provide additional visibility and accountability.
- Web-based real-time reporting and role-based access management of the supply chain data means reduced training for transportation workers.
BENEFITS OF THE AVANTE COLD CHAIN TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMThe AVANTE cold chain management solution represents a paradigm shift from accounting and attribution after a loss to preventive and corrective actions that save products. This change may even mean life or death whenever critical vaccines and medications are involved.
Real-time alerts via phone/text messaging and real-time web-based reporting of any exceptions and suggestions for possible corrective actions by onsite drivers or staff for possible prevention of spoilage.
24/7 end-to-end visibility of conditions and location of valuable perishable goods via web-based data center with role-based access management.
.Real-Time Cold-Chain Visibility includes:
- During shipping and transportation.
- Fixed site storage conditions.
- True temperature by directly embedding sensors with the products rather than at the door.
- Temperature accuracy to 0.5°C.
- Temperature distribution of the refrigerated goods with multiple ZONER tags to allow corrective actions due to airflow inbalance.
- Optional shock data and exceptions in all three directions.
- Optional humidity conditions.
- Whenever, whereever, and for how long the reefer trailer or reefer container is open.
- Real-time driver location.
- What are the reefer conditions and possible maintenance and repair requirements.
- Real-time location of the refrigerated container or trailer.
Intrusion detection and real-time alerts from the refrigerated container and trailer box.
AUTOMATIC DATA CAPTURING AND REPORTING OF REEFER CONTAINERS AND REEFER TRAILERS REDUCES HUMAN AND SYSTEM ERRORS:
Refrigerated containers and trucks equipped with the AVANTE active RFID ZONER-RELAYER system. This provides real-time temperature and other data inside the containers and boxes.
- ZONER-PBID tags are embedded with the refrigerated goods for direct and true measurement of temperature and other conditions.
- Multiple ZONER-CTID and ZONER-ASID tags inside may be used to provide a profile of temperature uniformity.
- Every opening of the box and container is automatically reported. Data includes the duration, temperature excursion effects, and staff responsible for the event. This is a unique and patent-pending innovation of AVANTE RFID technology.
- Real-time reporting of true refrigerated goods temperature and exceptions due to airflow problems within the reefer containers allow corrective actions by the onsite driver and other responsible staff.
The AVANTE Cold Chain Management Solution is part of the overall AVANTE supply chain security management solution. The return on investment may be immediate depending on the values of the products being shipped:
- Real-time visibility of the location and condition of the goods help efficiency.
- Real-time alerts to both the shipper and the onsite personnel help to provide timely corrective actions.
