Varcode Provides Time and Temperature Monitoring for Asset Tracking Solution from Media Sourcery

Varcode Provides Time and Temperature Monitoring for Asset Tracking Solution from Media Sourcery
May 25, 2021
No Comments

CHICAGO – May 25, 2021 – Varcode™, maker of digital time- and temperature-sensitive supply chain solutions, today announced an agreement to integrate its Smart Tag™ technology with Media Sourcery Inc.’s new cold chain solution. The solution’s initial application is for tracking COVID-19 test kits, monitoring that they are stored and transported at the proper temperature throughout the supply chain.

Varcode provides customized Smart Tag labels that are integrated into Austin, Texas-based Media Sourcery’s holistic cold chain solution. Varcode technology also enabled the workflow automation and security software provider to develop an iOS and Android app for scanning assets to log events in real time, and a browser app for reporting, recording data and for handheld barcode scanners.

“The addition of Varcode technology to Media Sourcery’s innovative solution directly supports the safe and effective distribution of COVID-19 test kits,” said Joe Battoe, CEO of Varcode. “With the entire supply chain's workflow automated and recorded on a blockchain, laboratories and their customers can be assured of quality testing supplies, which result in more accurate outcomes.”

Varcode’s Smart Tags dynamically change based on customized time and temperature parameters. The labels use a combination of precisely tuned chemicals and a uniquely printed layer to capture temperature variances when and where they occur and create a permanent, irreversible digital record. Varcode time-temperature parameters are added to the blockchain data along with other asset tracking information.

“The transparency of having a shared public ledger for the transport, storage and handling events of the Osang GeneFinder™ COVID-19 Fast/Plus RealAmp Test Kits will provide unprecedented assurance to our labs, customers and test populations,” said James Bailey, president for Achieve Health Management, U.S. distributor for the test kits. “This application will also help ensure our end-to-end process provides proper test kit handling and storage in temperature-controlled environments for optimal test performance.”

Larry Ketchersid, CEO of Media Sourcery Inc. added: “Our partnership with Varcode supports the tracking of all assets requiring cold storage. Our cold chain solution is evolutionary from our workflow products, and revolutionary in the practical usage of blockchain technologies."

The Media Sourcery solution takes data from each event in the life of an asset, including location, user, temperature, event type and other details, and puts this information on the shared public ledger of a Topl blockchain. Users can quickly and easily see the entire event history of each asset currently in their inventory, in route to their facility, or used asset history.

Liberty Distribution in Simi Valley, Calif. operates the cold storage warehouse that receives, stores and ships the COVID-19 test kits. “Our coolers have temperature sensors monitoring that the kits are stored at the correct temperature,” said Louie Manalad, vice president of logistics and fulfillment. “The tracking provided with this solution lets us scan the kits when we ship them to record this, and allows the customers to scan upon receipt, making sure they were stored and transported correctly.”
