SAFE Shipping Solution: Intelligent Last Mile Control

Traveling the “last mile” is always a big challenge for a product being delivered, especially for temperature-sensitive goods.

Unmonitored conditions can lead to deterioration and safety concerns, especially in the case of pharmaceuticals and/or perishables.

An interesting solution that EVi proposes is to seal the packaging using Water Activated Tape to ensure the safety of the closure regardless of weather  conditions and, at the same time, to equip it with a fast and extremely economical monitoring system.

WAT is a particularly safe and 100% green solution to ensure the closure of the packaging and is available in different weights with the possibility of reinforcements to cover all the weight needs of the packaging.

WarmMark QR is a monitoring device that provides an immediate visual indication of exceeded temperatures, ensuring visibility of conditions in real time thanks to QR code verification via smartphone.

By sending real-time data to the SpotSee® cloud, the device delivers actionable insights that improve the quality, efficiency and control of the cold chain.

Applied in those product sectors where it becomes essential to guarantee that the delivered product is intact in its characteristics, this device certainly becomes a clear reason for great professionalism for the shipper/manufacturer who uses its multiple control qualities, considering that the last mile of shipping is a critical phase in which products pass from production safety to real-world unpredictability during the journey to the destination.

It is precisely during this phase that products are most exposed to environmental variations, with temperature playing a key role: any deviation from ideal conditions can trigger product deterioration, resulting in significant financial losses and safety issues for end users.

Normally it is thought that there is no possibility of preventing last-mile problems: on a daily basis, traffic delays, prolonged exposure to the sun in parking lots, power outages, human errors are just a few concrete examples to be addressed.

The above can cause the deterioration of the material being delivered and, consequently, result in violations of the conformity of the product with subsequent possible administrative sanctions, undoubted erosion of the trust of the end customer in addition to the damage to the image that the company is forced to record.

The lack of the possibility of real-time tracking exacerbates this situation, as unexpected delays in the application of corrective measures can turn manageable situations into real logistical nightmares.

The message that comes out is very clear: if you adopt a simple and cost-effective monitoring solution that guarantees complete supervision during all stages of transport and delivery, the problem is solved.

EVi offers this innovative solution that offers an immediate visual indication of temperatures and is equipped with QR code verification for immediate access to data. Thanks to a quick scan at the delivery points, logistics teams or final recipients can confirm the integrity of the product in real time upon receipt.

WarmMark QR is a single-use, battery-free, smartphone-enabled temperature indicator. Easily detect temperature fluctuations, providing essential data such as time, date, location and serial number.

Designed to provide a clear visual indication, the device changes its color from white to pink/red when excessively high temperatures are detected, providing real-time visibility of packaging conditions.

Data is easily accessed by scanning the QR code and sending it in real time to the specific cloud which, in turn, offers specific immediate information on the traceability history.

What distinguishes this device is the extreme ease of use and the remarkable accuracy of the recorded data. It’s easy to use: just activate the device and apply it to the shipment; the sensor monitors the ambient temperature conditions during transport, and recipients can scan the QR code with any smartphone to immediately record and view data related to the condition of the shipment.

The use of this device together with the security of the closure of the packaging guaranteed by the use of WAT translates into tangible benefits throughout the supply chain. Companies can dramatically reduce product waste by identifying compromised shipments before they reach customers. This improves efforts for sustainability and operational efficiency: monitoring becomes more streamlined, the need for manual interventions is reduced and environmental sustainability is guaranteed considering that the disposal of the packaging thus composed can be carried out in a single solution.

The above represents an important innovation on the market because in fact, it opens up a perspective unimagined until recently. The greater transparency and responsibility that are guaranteed by the certainty of closing the packaging and by reliable monitoring of the temperature of the same, strengthen the relationships between all the players in the sector, whether they are manufacturers, shippers, carriers and recipients. In an increasingly competitive landscape, this advantage is valuable as it strengthens reputation, trust and image.

If you want to transform your deliveries into a model of precision and reliability, you will find a concrete and highly professional answer in EVi.
