Hellmann Logistics Continuously Utilizes Wise-USB Single Use Temperature Data Loggers for Sea and Air Transport
Context and Challenges
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, a global leader in logistics and transportation services, faces daily challenges in transporting pharmaceutical and food products. These shipments require strict temperature-controlled conditions to ensure the quality and integrity of goods during long sea and air transport routes. The company serves demanding markets such as Europe and North America, where safety and quality regulations are particularly stringent.
Maintaining an unbroken cold chain, especially during lengthy journeys and multiple logistical stages, has always been critical. Traditional temperature checks often failed to provide complete or sufficiently detailed data to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements in these markets.
Implemented Solution
To address these challenges, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics adopted the Wise-USB Single Use line for its sea and air transport operations. These devices were integrated into the cargo monitoring processes, placed alongside products during the loading phase to continuously record temperature variations throughout the journey.
The data loggers used comply with the most stringent international standards and provide high-precision data, capturing temperature at programmable intervals and storing information that can be accessed at the end of the trip.
Results Achieved
The implementation of the Wise-USB Solution for temperature monitoring brought several benefits to Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, including:
- Compliance with International Standards: The accurate and comprehensive reports generated by the data loggers allowed Hellmann to demonstrate full compliance with strict transport regulations for sensitive products in European and North American markets, such as the EM-12.830 standard, meeting the expectations of regulatory bodies and commercial partners.
- Preservation of Cargo Integrity: Continuous monitoring ensured that pharmaceutical and food products were transported under appropriate temperature conditions, minimizing degradation risks and ensuring delivery of goods in perfect condition.
- Improved Risk Management: The use of the Wise-USB model enabled Hellmann to quickly detect and resolve issues, preventing cargo losses and potentially significant financial damages.
Customer Confidence: The transparency and accuracy provided by the reports increased customer trust, offering more reliable and predictable logistics, particularly in critical sectors like pharmaceuticals.
