LoRaWAN
®
Solution for
Temperature-Sensitive
Vaccine Storage
SITUATION
After the initial COVID-19 pandemic, IoT solutions are
being implemented to meet the rapidly evolving needs of
the global population. From homes to workplaces and
healthcare facilities, the use of IoT technology is enabling
contact tracing, social distancing, and continuous health
monitoring.
However, distributing vaccines across the globe –
especially to remote locations – remains a challenge. IoT
is helping ensure that vaccine distribution is both effective
and reliable.
BENEFITS
With the solution, medical centers, storage centers and pharmacies
can track the temperature of vaccine storage on their phones in real
time and receive notifications of abnormal temperatures.
2023 USE CASE
CHALLENGE
In an effort to combat the global pandemic, an alliance of the
world's leading researchers and pharmaceutical companies
collaborated to produce vaccines at an unprecedented rate.
The next challenge was to distribute these vaccines
throughout the world and ensure proper storage. This
created the need for a reliable monitoring device that could
track environmental conditions inside storage and freezer
containers while in transit.
SOLUTION
Together with TEKTELIC, Pilot Things has developed a
reliable solution to monitor real-time storage conditions
while a vaccine is in transit.
The solution includes:
• LoRaWAN
-enabled TUNDRA sensors
• TEKTELIC KONA Micro Gateways for
LoRaWAN
• Pilot Things' Vaccine Guardian sensor app
The solution connects and monitors refrigerators used to
store medical supplies. It can be tailored to meet any need
and ensures that data collection is never missed or
delayed, even if the power goes out.
