DHL Global Forwarding, the air and ocean freight provider within Deutsche Post DHL, has launched DHL Thermonet, a new air freight product tailored to the life sciences and healthcare sector. This global service is a new addition to DHL’s network of life sciences and healthcare facilities and offers customers a transparent and a regulatory compliant platform enabling them to manage their temperature-sensitive shipments of pharmaceutical products and medical devices. DHL says its Thermonet product provides higher visibility as a standard offering in the temperature controlled shipping arena by integrating proactive monitoring and intervention 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with SmartSensor RFID technology, an in-house development from DHL’s Solutions & Innovation division. The SmartSensor monitors the ambient temperature of the shipment while in transit.
