DIGI 1.0
Project Purpose
Temperature excursions during the air transportation of pharmaceutical shipments carry a big cost to the pharma industry. To minimise and prevent such excursions, shippers want a greater transparency throughout the supply chain. The idea was raised that a coherent and uniform door-to-door data stream on shipment level being hosted on a common data sharing platform could be a solution.
Project Objective(s)
The project aims to prove that different shipment data from different systems and in different formats can be ingested and displayed on a dashboard to enhance the visibility throughout the supply chain.
Project Status And Key-takeaways
Project ongoing, following the steps:
-
Work Package 1: Host and exclusive webinar for the members of both organisations (Pharma.Aero and HLA) on June 15, 2021, followed by a survey. The results of the survey and insights gathered amongst the presenters, the attendees and the project group were outlined in a White Paper. This first report examined the competitive positioning of UAV against other transportation modes, the regulatory framework for drone operations and applications of UAV in the Pharma and Humanitarian Air Cargo sector.
-
Work Package 2: Create a 360° interactive video to showcase drone lab technologies, different types of drones and drone operations. This video is now available for Pharma.Aero members only.
-
Work Package 3: Map the journey of the Covid-19 vaccines from the manufacture point in Europe to the arm of the patient in Malawi. Draft a list of recommendations on how to optimize the end-to-end transportation by shortening the supply chain and linking both traditional airfreight and drone worlds. Disseminate a theoretical proof of concept (technical report and white paper). See here the video of the Vaccines transportation from Belgium to Malawi.
