Why Pharmaceutical Logistics Needs GPS Tracking
India is the world's largest provider of generic medicines, with a pharmaceutical industry worth over Rs. 4 lakh crore. The safe distribution of medicines from manufacturing plants to hospitals, pharmacies, and patients requires strict compliance with temperature, timing, and security protocols.
A single temperature breach during transit can render an entire shipment of medicines worthless — or worse, dangerous to patients.
Key GPS Tracking Features for Pharma Fleets
1. Temperature-Controlled Monitoring
GPS-integrated temperature sensors ensure medicines stay within required ranges:
- Vaccines: 2°C to 8°C (WHO guidelines)
- Insulin: 2°C to 8°C during transport
- General medicines: Below 25°C or 30°C
- Biologics: -20°C to -70°C for specialized drugs
Instant alerts are sent when temperature deviates from set thresholds.
2. Tamper-Proof Delivery Verification
- GPS DigiLock on cargo doors prevents unauthorized access
- Door open/close sensors with timestamp and GPS location
- Photo proof of delivery captured via driver app
- Digital signature collection at delivery point
