Temperature-controlled packaging company Tower Cold Chain has unveiled a live tracking feature in collaboration with ELPRO – which specialises in monitoring solutions for pharmaceutical and life science industries. Customers renting a KTEvolution parcel-sized unit between 26 litre and 57 litre sizes can monitor of shock, tilt, altitude, location, and internal and external temperatures. The ELPRO logger will notify and alert users in cases of temperature deviations, allowing for immediate intervention.

Tower’s earlier introduced a Control Center, an online portal giving access comprehensive shipment data, documents and a journey simulation tool to enhance planning and risk mitigation.

All rented KTEvolution 26 and KTEvolution 57 units will be equipped with the Ecolog-Pro xG datalogger. Tower KT400 and KTM units will remain equipped with the InTemp CX405-RTD datalogger. Both data logger options, approved by most airlines, enable Tower customers to make decisions throughout each shipment.
