Thermo King and its dealer network help UNITAX-Pharmalogistik GmbH ensure precise and stable temperature-controlled transportation of COVID-19 vaccines in Germany. Unitax, a Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certified expert in pharmaceutical transport and logistics, has been awarded with the exclusive contract to supply all the vaccination centres in the Brandenburg federal state with COVID-19 vaccines.
The GDP compliant delivery fleet from UNITAX is fully equipped with Thermo King V-Series refrigeration units and features real time tracking and monitoring. The combination of refrigeration and telematics technologies provide confidence that vaccines remain within the required temperature range, the efficacy and integrity of the product remains intact, and that the medicine will be safe and effective for patients.
The UNITAX fleet, used for the last-mile transport of the vaccines, consists of GDP-certified Mercedes Sprinter vans with Thermo King V-500 refrigeration units. The temperature in the load compartment is actively monitored via telematics and can be viewed in real time in the Thermo King TracKing portal. All the data from Thermo King TracKing is also seamlessly transferred and integrated into the system of UNITAX’s third party monitoring service provider. It allows UNITAX to have a clear view of all the relevant data, including temperature and door contact sensors, at all times.
