The importance of real-time temperature monitoring in the distribution of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine

Monitoreo de la temperatura de la vacuna de Pfizer contra la Covid-19

Amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, one of the key strategies to address the crisis was the implementation of mass vaccination campaigns. Distributing the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine posed a critical challenge for the pharmaceutical industry: maintaining the vaccine at a constant temperature of -80 degrees Celsius. Any variation in this temperature could compromise the vaccine’s effectiveness, negatively impacting public health. Recognizing the severity and importance of the situation, Bidafarma, a leading pharmaceutical distribution company, faced this challenge and turned to Torsa’s technological innovation to ensure product quality during the storage and distribution of the Pfizer vaccine.

Bidafarma: Ensuring Quality in the Distribution of the Pfizer Vaccine

Bidafarma has been recognized for its commitment to excellence in pharmaceutical distribution. With an extensive distribution network and a focus on innovation and quality, the company has been a cornerstone in the fight against COVID-19. However, the complexity of maintaining the Pfizer vaccine at a constant temperature of -80 degrees Celsius during storage and transport presented a significant challenge. Temperature variation, even for a brief period, could result in the loss of vaccine efficacy, jeopardizing public health and wasting valuable resources.

The Challenge of Temperature Monitoring in Pharmaceutical Logistics

The need for continuous and precise temperature monitoring in the distribution of the Pfizer vaccine was not merely a regulatory compliance issue but a matter of public health. Exposure to temperatures outside the specified range could lead to:

  • Inactivation of the vaccine’s active ingredient.
  • Inability to ensure effective immunization.
  • Loss of confidence in the vaccination process.
  • The necessity to discard entire vaccine batches, leading to economic losses and delays in vaccination campaigns.Registrador BOREA

The Solution: Torsa’s Borea System

To overcome this challenge, Bidafarma implemented Torsa’s Borea System, a comprehensive real-time temperature monitoring solution. This system not only provides continuous temperature control but also ensures full traceability of the product from storage to final delivery. The main benefits of the Borea System include:

  • Real-time temperature monitoring: Thanks to a network of IoT sensors, the system can continuously monitor temperature and instantly detect any deviations. This real-time monitoring capability allows Bidafarma to react quickly to temperature changes, minimizing the risk of vaccine inactivation.
  • Complete traceability: Using the .torsacloud business intelligence platform, Bidafarma can track every stage of the process, ensuring product integrity.
  • Configurable alerts: The system generates customizable alerts that allow operators to respond promptly to any anomalies.
  • Immediate notification via VoIP: In case of temperature variations, automatic notifications are sent to responsible personnel through phone calls. This direct alert method ensures that the right individuals receive critical information in real-time, enabling a swift and efficient response to correct any issues.
  • Process monitoring: In addition to temperature control, Borea records the status of facility doors, ensuring storage conditions remain optimal.
  • Report generation: The Borea system also facilitates the creation of detailed reports that provide a complete record of all temperature measurements and critical events. These reports are essential for regulatory compliance, internal audits, and optimizing logistical processes.

Benefits of Torsa’s Borea System: Efficiency and Safety in the Cold Chain

Bidafarma’s implementation of Torsa’s Borea System is a prime example of how technology can solve complex issues in industrial process monitoring. Through real-time temperature monitoring and a network of IoT sensors, Bidafarma has been able to ensure the quality and safety of the Pfizer vaccine, safeguarding public health, optimizing logistical operations, and saving costs. If your company also faces similar challenges and seeks to optimize its logistical operations, we invite you to discover how Torsa’s Borea System can enhance your processes, save costs, and ensure the quality of your products.
