French Partnership Results in Equipping Companies from the Pharmaceutical & HORECA Sectors

It’s been several years that Blulog has been cooperating with SOPAC.

One of the results of this joint effort is the SOPALOG RF solution, composed of temperature data loggers (RF + NFC) allowing data transmission in real time and automatic alarms via email/SMS in case of excursions.

The device transmits data to a gateway (hub) connected to the Internet either by an Ethernet cable, Wifi or GSM. The data is then accessible remotely, using BluConsole – a dedicated application available on the website www.SopaConsole.com.

SOPALOG RF is used to monitor the temperature in cold rooms, refrigerators, containers, warehouses or trucks during transport.

Among the customers who have already chosen the solution are:

Fresh & Loc

Fresh and Loc is specialized in the delivery of controlled temperature, multi-temperature Pharma, samples (vaccines, tests) and the provision of vehicles with drivers (rental).

“The respect of temperatures is the main constraint, concerning vaccines and the health pole, the problem is the same, the vehicles are identical, and we had made the choice from the beginning, from our experience with the EFS, to take only Cofrac probes. Even when customers don’t ask us for them, this gives us flexibility in our organization and our offer.”

“We can’t do temperature-controlled transport without temperature monitoring, we put ourselves at risk, the question doesn’t arise. For vaccines, we have to send the curves the next day at the latest for customers who do not require them immediately.”

The trucks are equipped with RF/NFC probes with a hub integrated into the vehicle and we have also installed them in our refrigerated warehouses (like the one in Villabé for example).

“The Sopalog solution allows us to meet our customers’ specifications and to have a global follow-up of the temperature.”

An isothermal container, a “Tarabox”, will be used to transport the vaccines, initially it is empty, then the vaccines are loaded at the distribution center, a temperature probe present in the box will make it possible to follow the temperature, then the box is put in a refrigerated truck to be certain that the temperature is maintained, and there is then a second probe in the truck, the whole of the probes makes it possible to ensure that the temperature is maintained from the cold room of departure to the cold room of delivery. The vaccines are recovered thawed and must be maintained between 2°C and 8°C.

Napaqaro

On January 17th, SOPAC’s installation team went to Bondoufle to install connected logger solution at one of their customers.

A total of 26 loggers and 8 hubs were installed in cold rooms, cutting rooms, storage rooms etc. in one location.

Despite the bad weather, the installation went smoothly and at the end of the day the whole installation was ready and customer was able to access all the data of his plant.

Laboratoire LD BIODIAGNOSTICS

The laboratory chose the solution SOPALOG RF to modernize its system for monitoring temperature and humidity during the in vitro diagnostic tests in the field of infectious disease.

Thirty control points were put into operation in cold rooms, freezers, ovens where, in case of any temperature excursions, automatic alarms are now immediately emailed 7/24.

TRANSPORT CHABAS

The company has a branch specialized in the transport of pharmaceuticals. They decided to equip their trucks with SOPALOG NFC data loggers that can be programmed and read with a smartphone or an NFC equipped tablet. The users can have access to graphics and temperature reports at one glance.
