The Swiss forwarder said use of these sensors is a major achievement in the segment of “seamless” air freight cold chains for pharmaceutical products.
Generally, security rules prohibit the active use of mobile sensors during air transport. However, together with a number of airline partners, K+N said it thoroughly tested low-emission devices which can stay active during the flight so the temperature is constantly measured and reported in real-time.
K+N said it is the first company to provide this service to pharmaceutical and health care shippers. To guarantee seamless temperature visibility from pick-up to delivery of cargo, warehouses and logistics facilities of K+N and its airline partners will be equipped with transmitting technology. The same applies to its trucks.
