Thermo King
Thermo King has expanded its portfolio of temporary storage solutions that can meet the unique requirements of global pharmaceutical companies developing Covid-19 vaccines. Pharmaceutical companies in final-stage clinical trials anticipate they will require strict temperature controls to safeguard their products – down to temperatures as low as -70°C. Thermo King’s solutions can enable these companies and their distributors to ensure the efficacy of their products through the entire cold chain. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 20% of
temperature-sensitive health care products are damaged during transport, and 25% of vaccines reach their destination in a degraded state due to breaks in the cold chain. Thermo King and its worldwide partners can offer temporary storage solutions that maintain a set point down to -70°C, and can ensure end-to-end temperature control, security and traceability through state-of-the-art telematics. Additional storage solutions include refrigerated trailers, containers and portable cubes that can easily be scaled and repositioned to other locations as demand changes.

RDM
Operating efficiency is essential to keep costs to a minimum at any type of facility. To achieve this, it is crucial to have insights into operating data from HVAC, refrigeration, lighting and any other BMS devices to analyse their efficiency, perform
predictive maintenance and manage energy use.
Resource Data Management’s (RDM’s) remote monitoring software ActiveFM offers all of these benefits on one platform. It processes data
from individual HVAC, refrigeration and lighting assets that it receives via cloud technology from a control system head-end. ActiveFM provides insights into a facility’s operating performance at all times. Any number of sites across the world can be monitored and compared. The status of devices can be displayed to a fine level of detail, in as little as 15 second increments. Accessible via a web browser, ActiveFM dashboards support not
only remote monitoring but also predictive maintenance strategies. The system can be set up to predict system failures, automatically handle equipment incidents and provide the insight required to correct issues remotely. Trusted by renowned brands, ActiveFM has been proven to reduce on-site staff intervention to handle issues by up to 73%.
Add-on software option Live Maps provides a real-time view of HVAC, refrigeration and other BMS assets across multiple sites worldwide. The interactive map – unique to RDM – is accessible via web browser. It allows users to zoom in on specific sites to view user-defined parameters
Kwheb, another optional software add-on, is a cloud-based energy management dashboard. It collects energy data from HVAC, refrigeration and other assets across the estate, enabling users to reduce energy consumption, increase profit margins and meet sustainability objectives. Its dashboard provides users with an overview of comparable data and hourly, daily and weekly consumption graphs. Data can easily be viewed by region or site. Analysis tools are available to enable a deeper understanding of the data.
