20–30%
In-transit breaches
in urban last-mile operations for refrigerated medicines in Brazil, from undetected excursions.
Industry benchmark
THE REALITY OF TRANSPORT
Thermolabile goods in transit still travel in the dark.
A batch of medicines leaves the DC in compliance and arrives out of spec, with no one having seen a thing. Manual paperwork, a datalogger read only at the end and breaches discovered far too late.
R$ Millions
Losses from recalls
when a batch arrives contaminated and must be discarded or reprocessed, impacting SUS/private contracts.
BR pharma industry
Thermal blindness
Temperature is only known when the load is opened. By the time they notice, it is too late to react.
Manual documentation
Invoices, checklists and physical spreadsheets that get lost and do not survive an audit.
Lack of integration
TMS, WMS and quality systems do not talk to the in-transit load data.
HOW IT WORKS
Autonomous 4G sensor + vehicle gateway + real-time map
Hardware that rides inside the load or mounts on the vehicle, with redundant 4G communication. Real-time dashboard for operations and an immutable history for audit.
01 · SENSOR
Autonomous and portable
4G sensor with a 90-day battery, IP67, logging temperature, humidity and geolocation. Rides inside the box, the reefer body or fixed to the vehicle.
02 · REAL-TIME MAP
GPS + thermal gradient
Each route appears on the map with a line colorized by thermal status (green stable, yellow attention, red breach).
03 · PREDICTIVE AI
Alert before the breach
DROME Predict detects temperature drift in transit and alerts operations 15–30 min before the critical limit.
04 · COMPLIANCE
Digital audit
Temperature records per route and batch, signed by the driver, for RDC 430 good transport practices and thermal route qualification.
ARCHITECTURE IN TRANSIT
4G sensor, real-time map, alert before the breach
Vehicle hardware with an offline buffer, AI that detects drift on route and RDC 430 compliance generated per route/batch automatically.
01
Sensor on route
Autonomous IP67 4G sensor (90-day battery) inside the load or fixed to the reefer body. Logs every 60s.
02
Multi-carrier 4G
SIM with automatic failover between carriers + 22-day offline buffer. Syncs when signal returns.
03
Real-time AI
DROME Predict detects thermal drift in transit and alerts 15–30 min before the critical limit.
04
Manager + driver
Simultaneous alert via WhatsApp to the control room and app to the driver. The RDC 430 delivery report fires automatically.
NEXT STEP
Pick the route that worries you most and run it with a sensor for 30 days.
APPLICATIONS
Full coverage from last-mile to long-haul
From the motorbike delivering vaccines to the refrigerated export truck, a single platform.
01
Last-mile on motorbike
Fast deliveries of medicines, vaccines and lab samples to pharmacies, clinics and hospitals. Sensor inside the thermal bag.
→ Thermolabile deliveries tracked
02
Urban refrigerated vans
E-commerce for beverages and food, distribution to pharmacies and clinics in major cities.
→ Urban RDC 430 active
03
Long-haul trucks
Interstate DC→DC transfers, refrigerated export to ports and airports.
→ Export compliance
04
Multi-temperature
Vehicles with separate chambers (frozen + chilled) monitored independently.
→ Isolated thermal zones
05
Smart geofencing
Automatic alerts when vehicles leave the planned route, enter forbidden areas or deviate from the delivery plan.
→ Deviation prevention
06
Digital audit per route
Each delivery ships with a full report: min/max temperature, time out of range, driver digital signature.
→ Zero manual reconstruction
WHO TRUSTS US
Logistics operations running in production with DROME
From air transport of medicines to last-mile on motorbikes for pharmacies, the technology is validated across multiple transport modes.

PVAX
Also running at pharmaceutical companies with refrigerated products and at hospital distributors, under confidentiality.
“We used to discover the temperature breach at the destination, with the batch already lost. With DROME, the alert arrives on route and there is time to stop the vehicle, check the cold source and correct it. Zero waste since implementation.”

Start with one route. In 30 days, the report shows every stretch where the load went out of range.
COMPARISON
Driver checklist, trunk datalogger or IoT on route
In thermolabile transport, a breach discovered at the destination is already a loss. Compare the three models and see why major pharma companies migrated to 4G IoT.
