Key Takeaways:
· Moderna wanted to eliminate the blind spots in the supply chain, such as shipment delays or weather impacts, by leveraging advanced thermal modeling.
· As more data is collected over time, the accuracy and reliability of predictive models improve, further enhancing the efficiency of logistics operations.
· Beyond reducing intercept rates and improving customer experience, Moderna has seen a reduction in waste in product and a reduction in carbon footprint.
The shipping of medicines and vaccines is a critical operation that must withstand high temperatures, shipping delays, and unforeseen issues so that the life sciences products can reach its destination safely. Today, that means leveraging technology to better predict a packaging fail, getting ahead of extreme weather, and ensuring a timely delivery.
Earlier this year at TempPack, part of the ISTA Forum, Jeff Lander, Director, Global Logistics Engineering for Moderna and Paul DellaVilla, Director of Digital Solutions and Services, Cold Chain Technologies (CCT), gave a presentation titled, Leveraging Real-Time Tracking, Location Data, and Real-Time Thermal Modeling to Reduce Shipment Risk. They shared the integration of real-time tracking and thermal modeling to enhance pharmaceutical logistics, focusing on proactive risk management and customer experience.
