New high-tech device of DHL for the life science & healthcare industry
“DHL SmartSensor GSM“ offers gapless control of temperature, humidity, shocks and brightness:
DHL has taken a decisive step in expanding its services for the life science & healthcare and other industries, placing it at the cutting edge of the market. DHL’s SmartSensor GSM makes it possible to monitor the transport of highly sensitive shipments anytime and anywhere. In addition to measuring the temperature during transport, the new high-tech device also measures humidity, shocks, brightness and location. DHL SmartSensor GSM is a small high-tech device that is packed inside the DHL shipments and sends real-time data to the solution’s web portal.
Using GSM technologies, which have become today’s standards for mobile and fast data transmission, it is no longer necessary to open the shipment in order to control the data. The new device not only acts as a data gathering sensor, it also functions pro-actively, sending e-mail or text message notifications if problems arise during transport, such as a change in temperature or the premature opening of a parcel.
The device can be used and is fully functional for all land and ocean freight transports. When used in air transports, the device’s GSM antenna is automatically switched off before take-off. In such cases, the sensor continues to retrieve data but does not send the information in flight, as this could interfere with the aircraft’s electronics.
Users need no hardware since the data is accessible through a web-based tool. The new GSM product is the advanced version of SmartSensor RFID, which is also still available throughout the DHL network. "Our new solution is the first of its kind on the market and offers exactly what our customers from these industries need. Being able to control highly sensitive and valuable goods such as medications or other pharmaceutical goods from start to finish is invaluable," says Martin Wegner, Vice President of DHL Solutions & Innovations (DSI).
