Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (APIC) shipments to the pharmaceutical manufacturing site
An API from South America, valued at ~€1.2M, is sent to the UK via sea transport and monitored with a USB logger. Only upon arrival after 4-5 weeks is the temperature alarm detected and materials must be discarded, causing delays in production and economic losses of up to
€2.3 - €3.5 million.
Challenges and Costs
-
Loss of API value: €1.2M
-
Manufacturing delay: €2.3 - €3.5M
-
Total cost in case of non-conformity: Approx. €4.1M/year
When you choose Tridentify
-
Cost savings
-
Earlier detection of temperature deviation
-
Ability to control temperature deviations in real time
-
Possible to save the product through faster reaction to deviation – reduced waste
-
Reduced risk of manufacturing delays
Benefits
-
Cost with Tridentify: Approx €58K/year
-
Prevention of deviations and saved costs of
approx. €4.1M/year -

European blood bank
A European blood bank needed a new system to prevent waste of rare blood bags. They had issues with blood bags that were wasted, but maybe had no quality issues. They did not know for sure and products were wasted to mitigate patient risks.
Challenges and Costs
-
Lack of blood bags
-
Waste of blood bags that may be ok to use since the quality are not tracked, eg at operations
-
Costs of approx. €84K/year of wasted blood bags
-
Challenges with quality processes
When you choose Tridentify

Blood bags taken from the refrigerator but not yet used can be saved for future use
-
Tracers monitor the temperature when the blood bag is taken out of the refrigerator and give an indication if the blood bag can be reused
-
Annual savings of over €84K by use of blood bags that are ok to use due to quality monitoring of shelf-life
Benefits
-
Real-time quality monitoring of temperature and light exposure
-
Safer blood supply to hospitals and patients
-
Ensures high quality blood products and minimizes waste
-
Sustainability – multiple use and reduced waste
-
Ensures health of patients
