trans-o-flex starts service campaign
trans-o-flex Schnell-Lieferdienst has developed a modular system of services that enables its customers to completely meet the tightened legal provisions made on the pharmaceutical industry. The Weinheim-based specialist for business solutions announces the introduction of another innovation in the world of transportation and logistics: in January 2008, the company will present an active temperature control system for high-quality and extremely sensitive goods that covers the range of between 8 and 25°C.
The development of the new service was driven by the tightened provisions made on the transportation and storage of pharmaceuticals. In accordance with the German Ordinance on the Production of Pharmaceuticals and Active Substances (AMWHV), critical parameters, such as temperature and air humidity, have to be measured and documented not only during production and storage but also over the entire supply chain. To this end, trans-o-flex, within the scope of a service campaign, has now developed a modular system that enables customers to select the individual components relevant for them.
Currently, trans-o-flex already takes over the transportation of goods that have to be stored at temperatures ranging from between plus 2° and 8°C. This special service is offered by trans-o-flex’s ThermoMed subsidiary. “Due to the separate handling of the temperature ranges from 2° to 8°C and from 8° to 25°C in two different networks, we can guarantee our customers maximum quality with respect to maintaining the temperature ranges”, explains Mohorn. “Thus, any mixing or mistake of the temperature ranges can be ruled out.” Therefore, trans-o-flex deliberately decided against the introduction of a fault-prone combined system using multi-chamber vehicles (several temperature ranges in one and the same vehicle). Instead, the company chose to use one-chamber vehicles in the separate networks of trans-o-flex and ThermoMed.
