Traditional options for temperature monitoring remote shipments are woefully lacking. Temp strips provide no data at all, USB loggers are too complicated for recipients to use, and cellular loggers are too expensive for single use. Smart passive loggers offer an excellent alternative that provides a cold chain of custody with a simple user experience and very low cost. They're ideal for all outbound pharma shipments.

The standard for temperature monitoring in cold chain applications such as pharmaceuticals is the passive temperature tag. Passive tags, however, don’t do particularly well when the sender, rather than the recipient, has responsibility for the chain of custody. In this post, we talk about how "smart passive" tags can bring security and peace of mind to your clients and customers, without additional effort on their part.

The development of new low-power wireless technologies, combined with the emergence of cloud computing and the ubiquity of mobile phones has created a new class of data logger that combines these technological developments to create solutions that are superior to USB-based data loggers, at a similar cost. In addition, they can be used in workflows that previously had no viable solution.
