Suwanee, Georgia, USA: A&M Cold Storage is making 90 Carrier pods available for vaccine distribution.
Each of the 90 pods has Carrier’s TripLink data management platform, which provides remote monitoring of the state of the refrigerated container and cargo and integrated with the Lynx digital platform.
These units have been adapted for use in the field with flat flooring, interior lights and doors with safety releases and easy access that do not downgrade the insulation or cooling capabilities of the container.
“We are happy to support this important mission, as we believe that tackling the pandemic is an essential imperative which requires all aspects of the cold chain to come together to ensure the safe storage and movement of Covid-19 vaccines,” said Jeff Quellhorst, director of sales, A&M Cold Storage.
“These Carrier Pods not only help ensure end-to-end cold chain visibility and integrity but are also uniquely suited to cater to the rigorous on-ground requirements of vaccine distribution.”
“A&M Cold Storage has risen to the occasion by making 90 Carrier Pod units immediately available which could be highly beneficial to pharmaceutical companies, distribution centers and vaccine administrators,” said Christopher Kranick, associate sales director, The Americas, Global Container Refrigeration, Carrier.
With Carrier Pods monitored by Sensitech, container refrigeration units can deliver temperature control within +/- 0.25 degrees Celsius and temperatures down to ‑40 degrees Celsius, while their monitoring devices can track temperatures down to dry ice conditions of -95 degrees Celsius. Their mobility allows for easy relocation to address shifting capacity demands or temporary vaccine administration locations.
