New passive packaging solution launched by Agility

At the recently-held second annual Cold Chain Conference, Agility launched and showcased a co-branded passive packaging solution, Agile+, developed in collaboration with PLUSS Advanced Technologies and TagBox. Agile+ is a shipment box for the pharmaceutical industry that can be used to move highly critical international shipments. Agile+ can keep strict temperature levels for up to 120 hours, and the box’s tracking system provides users with real-time visibility of temperature status and location. The gathering featured five panel discussions on key issues for the life sciences industry, including perishable and pharmaceutical supply chains, challenges in ocean freight and air freight transhipment hubs.

Satish Lakkaraju, Chief Commercial Officer, Agility India, said, “The life sciences industry is one of Agility’s key verticals, and is particularly important to Agility India, given the large pharmaceutical market here. We wanted to focus the ‘Unbroken Cold Chain’ event on how the industry can address challenges in air and ocean supply chains as it relates to the pharmaceutical industry – something the conference did successfully.”

SGK Kishore, CEO and Chairman, GMR Hyderabad International Airport (GHIAL), said, “Hyderabad International Airport has always been a preferred destination for pharmaceuticals with more than 60 per cent of cargo being pharma products. GHIAL, as an airport operator, is committed to working with our partners to enable a robust pharma logistics value chain using innovative technology and digital concepts.”
