Air Cargo Next hosted the webinar “Air Cargo and Pharma: Using Tech to Save Lives” on Tuesday, June 18th. The webinar is available to watch on-demand now!

Pharmaceuticals must arrive at their destinations on time and in good condition — otherwise, people can die. Efficient shipping following best practices is critical for daily, non-emergency medications as well as medicines urgently needed to respond to crises. When a disaster occurs, companies in the supply chain do not have time to create a plan from scratch or begin investigating new technologies. They need to have plans and the latest technologies in place to save lives.

Environmental control and timeliness are key factors in shipping pharmaceuticals. Technology plays a vital role in ensuring medicines and medical devices arrive at their destinations in the proper condition and at the proper time to save lives.

Panelists will discuss the latest technologies being used to ship pharmaceuticals, such as temperature-control devices, trackers, Internet of Things, robotics and unit load devices.
