Application of Temperature and Humidity Sensor in Pharmaceutical Cold Chain
July 26,2022
Nowadays, the rapid development of society not only brings convenience to us but also brings hidden dangers to our health. The increasing number of sub-health people and the rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical industry have brought great pressure to the logistics industry. In particular, the particularity of medicine will cause serious economic losses if the protective measures are slightly inappropriate in the transportation process.
Influence of temperature and humidity on medical quality
The medicine starts from the pharmaceutical factory, passes through the "cold chain" transportation, arrives at the hospital/drugstore, and finally, the circulation market comes to us. After a variety of procedures, the temperature and humidity in the middle of storage are slightly wrong, the quality of medicine decreases in light cases, and the medicine directly fails in serious cases. If such medicine is used on patients, it may cause a medical accident. In recent years, there have been many diseases and disasters. Under this situation all over the world, the transportation of vaccines has become the top priority. But what makes people headache is that from 2007 to 21, there will be transportation accidents every time. The unified reason is that the temperature and humidity during transportation are not up to standard, resulting in medical damage.
How to use temperature and humidity sensors in the "cold chain"?
During transportation:
In areas with large quantities and concentrated delivery areas, we can use multi-probe temperature and humidity recorders to collect data. After collection and analysis, the temperature and humidity sensors in the temperature and humidity recorders can use gprs/4g to transmit the data to the cloud platform in the manager's equipment for 24-hour continuous monitoring, which is convenient for managers to view at any time. During the transportation of the "cold chain" transport vehicle, the storage time interval of the temperature and humidity value of the temperature and humidity recorder can be set at will within 1-60 minutes, and the operation is flexible. After the temperature of the carriage exceeds the limit, the management personnel will be reminded by voice or text message. When the intermediate signal is interrupted and it is inconvenient to upload data, the temperature and humidity recorder will first store local data, and the signal recovery will be automatically synchronized and uploaded to the cloud platform, which is convenient and fast.
Pharmaceutical storage during cold chain transportation:
The temperature and humidity recorder of the incubator shall be adjusted according to the different storage requirements of temperature and humidity of different medicines. In the process of cold chain transportation, medicine will be equipped with an incubator, which is equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor, which can monitor the temperature in the box at any time. The traditional incubator is suitable for the transportation of ordinary medicine. It uses a cold chain Incubator + cryogen, which has mixed effects and cannot be monitored in real-time. If emergency medicine, blood, reagents, or cold collections are transported, an incubator with a data transmission function is recommended to facilitate management personnel to monitor at any time, When the temperature in the box exceeds or falls below the limit, the alarm system can also be triggered to remind the management personnel to make adjustments in time.
Pharmaceutical warehouse storage:
The state has detailed regulations on pharmaceutical storage, which requires real-time monitoring of the warehouse environment. It is difficult for a simple human to meet this standard, which requires the help of an automatic temperature and humidity monitoring system to complete this task. As the name suggests, the temperature and humidity sensor is the core of the whole system. The temperature and humidity sensor collects information about the surrounding environment and transmits the information to the management host. Through analysis and calculation, the host obtains the final data and uploads it to the cloud platform, which is convenient for managers to check in real-time for 24 hours.
Summary
Temperature and humidity sensors play an important role in the whole pharmaceutical "cold chain", from pharmaceutical production to delivery, transportation, and finally to the hands of patients. As long as there are temperature and humidity measurement tools in factories, refrigerated trucks, incubators, warehouses, refrigerators in pharmacies, and other places, the contribution of temperature and humidity sensors is inseparable. If the "operation host" in the "cold chain" of medicine is used as the brain, the temperature and humidity sensor is equivalent to its "nerve". Without these terminals to monitor the nerve to collect data, the body cannot work correctly.
