Intelligent Devices Inc., a subsidiary of Information Mediary Corp (IMC), in partnership with Evidencia LLP and Prodecom, announce that the entire line of Log-ic ThermAssureRF devices have received EN12830, IP68, and COFRAC certifications from the French Institute Cemafroid, a United Nations- and World Health Organization (WHO)-authorized testing and certification laboratory.

Who should read this?
These rules apply to all businesses that make, transport (including by rail), store or sell quick frozen foodstuffs (QFF). The rules apply to QFF only if they are labelled as ‘quick-frozen’ (which is optional). They do not apply to ice cream or edible ice.

Active, passive RFID tags free the cold chain from wires.

This new publication will cover such technologies as insulating materials and containers, phase-change materials, smart labels and sensors, desiccants, returnable notes and pallets, tamper-evident cases, specialty logistics services, and more.

The outcome of this study should help programs determine the most appropriate interventions. If evidence demonstrates, for example, that freezing occurs most commonly during vaccine transport, new procedures for conditioning of ice packs, or ice-free transport can be implemented. If there is a correlation between specific types of refrigerators and freezing, equipment replacement may be required or, alternatively, more attention given to the training of cold chain supervisors.

Guidelines for Temperature Control of Drug Products during Storage and Transportation

World's Most Accurate Wireless Temperature Logger tracks up to 16 Million Measurements in Pharmaceutical, Vaccine and Food Cold Chain.

IDTechEx staged its annual conference on Active RFID and Real Time Locating Systems RTLS in Dallas USA 5-6 December. Delegates at over 240 and exhibitors at 20 were again sharply up, reflecting this prosperous and innovative industry. Here we look at aspects relevant to printed electronics. Passive RFID is most amenable to being totally printed because, in most cases, the logic consists of just a memory chip. However, although printing the microprocessors commonly used in active RFID is probably ten years off, the opportunity to print the antennas, sensors, interconnects and batteries is much closer. The primary motivation is to make these devices thinner, flexible and lower in cost.

A new radio frequency identification (RFID) logger combines tracking and tracing with temperature readings, giving processors a way to identify when food safety may have been compromised.

Information Mediary Corporation of Canada describes how RFID monitors compliance with medication instructions, saving lives and improving the integrity of data in drug trials, such as the US National Institutes of Health Azithromycin trial recently. The US Army present on supply chain and shelf life management such as recording temperature time profile.
