PostNord PEX Courier transports large quantities of temperature-sensitive goods for pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals, and the foodservice industry, among others. To meet strict legal requirements, temperatures during all transports must be measured and saved. Thanks to a flexible calibration setup for Testo loggers, PEX’s courier vans can perform time-critical deliveries \u2013 around the clock, every day of the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PEX Courier is part of PostNord’s Logistics business area and offers local, national, and international courier services. Many assignments are urgent and time-critical. These can involve pharmaceuticals and patient samples, but also foodstuffs and important spare parts for industry.\u2013 Our customers demand that we can respond at any time to carry out carefully controlled, sensitive deliveries. Sometimes we have less than half an hour to pick up and deliver, says Cecilia \u00d6stensson, Regional Manager for PostNord PEX Courier West and South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperature measurement in all vehicles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An increasing number of transports require temperature monitoring of the cargo compartments. Therefore, PostNord PEX uses approximately 45 data loggers of the Testo 175 T1 model. The loggers measure and record current measurement data every five minutes during transports. Additionally, during both loading and arrival, the driver checks the temperature in the cargo compartment and notes the values on specific forms.All measurement data from the transports as well as calibration certificates for all loggers are stored by PEX at the regional office in Gothenburg. The same system also contains current calibration certificates for all Testo loggers. The background for this includes the requirements of GDP (Good Distribution Practice), which aims to ensure that medicines maintain their quality, safety, and efficacy throughout the entire logistics chain. \u2013 We have broadened our customer base within health, healthcare, and food. Therefore, we currently have temperature loggers in all our vehicles, so that all of them can be used for temperature-sensitive transports, says Cecilia \u00d6stensson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calibration without downtime<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PostNord PEX Courier has collaborated with Nordtec for about ten years. In addition to Nordtec supplying PostNord with temperature loggers from Testo, they assist PEX Courier with annual calibration of all loggers. Submitting loggers for calibration could pose a practical problem for an operation where vehicles need to be available at all times. The solution is a flexible arrangement where PostNord and Nordtec maintain close dialogue and plan calibrations together. Tomas M\u00e5nsson de Coursey, Traffic Manager at PostNord PEX Courier West, explains the calibration routines: \u2013 When it’s time for calibration, we decide weekly which five to eight drivers are able to go to Nordtec’s calibration lab. Before the loggers are submitted, we empty them of measurement data, which is saved locally. After that, each driver can go to Nordtec, submit their logger for calibration, and receive a loan logger. \u2013 This way, we can continue driving just as usual. Our vehicles remain temperature-logged and available for assignments, which is very important because we receive calls constantly, Tomas M\u00e5nsson de Coursey continues.Cecilia \u00d6stensson interjects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
