3 Agenda Business Challenge Market Solution SmartSensor Temperature Discussion

4 What is your view on the supply chain? Do you know what temperatures your product got applied to? Does you re cool chain protect your brand for financial and ethical losses Does your customer get your genuine product or a counterfeit?

5 Business Challenge Legislative requirements Increased demand to guarantee the cool chain Customer demands Transport is part of the quality process In-time delivery of critical pharmacies Economic change More drugs are moving internationally (Pharmaceutical Commerce 7/8 2006) Increased use of liquid pharmacies, biotechnological raw materials & production Double-digit market growth for biopharmaceutical (Global Biotech Report 2006) MAINTAINING THE QUALITY OF MEDICINAL PRODUCTS IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN: John Taylor Quality and Standards Manager, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, UK August 2006

6 Current Solutions Active cooled transports or cooled storage areas Seamless cool chain monitoring only with added loggers Depending on time and freight volume Examples: Data Logger Passive cool boxes with or without Logger Product temperature not guarantied Sample deliveries with loggers can't guaranty quality No option to react while transport Transport temperature tracking and documentation procedure to do by the Life Science company

7 Partnership to the Benefit of Customers Technology and Innovation Management Program Management / Solution Development Product Development Process Design Business Consulting IT Solution Development / System Integration Temperature Monitoring RFID Tag Technology

8 Solution SmartSensor Temperature Logistic temperature monitoring service along the entire supply chain Design for temperature sensitive products like drugs, food and flowers Unique read-out of temperature / history data at inspection points along the supply chain Read-out without opening the packaging or container Step towards anti-counterfeiting due to Track & Trace on package level Enabler of RFID benefits in logistics and transparency

9 Central Service Temperature compliance service by DHL Manufacturer* to put goods and RFID-Tag to package (or use DHL package) Manufacturer starts temperature tracking (by button press or by reader) DHL destination hand-over (Central Read-out at DHL depart.) Direct customer feedback by button press and LED. Temperature compliant data / document (by / SMS / Customer interface) Manufacturer Freight Terminal Freight Termina l Freight Forwarder Warehouse Destination Continuous temperature tracking and shelf life calculation Temperature compliant * Or Contract logistics

10 Prompt Solution Comfortable temperature compliance service by DHL Manufacturer* to put goods and RFID-Tag to package (or use DHL package) DHL pick-up starts / assures temperature tracking (w reader) DHL destination hand-over (read out of temperature data) Customer gets temperature compliant document (by / SMS / Customer interface) Manufacturer Freight Terminal Freight Termina l Freight Forwarder Warehouse Destination Continuous temperature tracking and shelf life calculation Temperature compliant * Or Contract logistics

11 Multipoint Solution Comfortable temperature compliance service with pro-active option & transparency Manufacturer* to put goods and RFID-Tag to package (or use DHL package) DHL pick-up starts temperature tracking (w reader) DHL reads-out temperature / tag data at checkpoints DHL sends customer notification in case of alerts (by / customer interface) DHL destination hand-over (read out of temperature data) Customer gets temperature compliant document (by / SMS) Manufacturer Freight Terminal Freight Termina l Freight Forwarder Warehouse Destination Continuous temperature tracking and shelf life calculation Temperature compliant * Or Contract logistics

12 Initializing Process - Scope Minimum Process Change Add Tag to package Integrated Process Package with integrated Tag Manually process steps: Start of Temperature Tracking, linkage of AWB -, case - and RFID number (Manufacturer or DHL) Minimal customer process modifications RFID process integration in the production process Use of RFID gate, which automatically starts temperature tracking, links shipping -, case - and RFID number, stores customer data (e.g. batch) and set parameter of Tag. (Manufacturer) Use of RFID advantages in processes, most reliable process, no barcode, less paper work,.

13 Solution Design Architecture Overview RFID-SensorTag Application RFID Data Capture RFID Middleware Logistics Service Client s Tracking App. Sensor Application Shelf life calculation Communication Middleware Client Portal Tracking Application RFID Interface GSM/ GPRS GSM/ GPRS

14 RFID Tag Tag types Tags available in various lengths Cool box integrated solutions in development Assembly Bypassing the shielding isolation by long tags If no water tanks or metal isolation use of tag card Sensor RFID Interface Button / LED RFID Interface UHF EPC Class1 Gen2 Button /LED

15 RFID Tag Temperature sensing range Operating temperature -25 C to +70 C Accuracy 0,5-1C (depending on range) Functions Remaining shelf life of the product (in %) Time / Temperature logs Alerts settings: shelf life, temperature, time, power Others, like histogram, current temp. Customer data storage (e.g. batch) Button/LED: Start process, check shelf life status RFID Interface: Start tracking and read-out / set data

16 How does Freshtime work Actual temperature is being probed in dense intervals Min / Max values provide temperature corridor information for the elapsed period Time/Temperature approach with a (non-) linear characteristics %-Calculation of remaining time/temperature handling budget Freshtime Calculation is based on the measurements and product specific parameters There is in general no interest in details, if temperature is within a certain range Temperature Shelf life Quick drop, because of high temperature

17 Customer Portal Final temperature compliance document after delivery by or SMS notification in case of alert Web Portal access for status report Quick status indication by button/led Status of package level Detailed package data available in case of critical alerts Download option of detailed data in various data formats (e.g. XML)

18 Customer Portal (cont.) Graphical view of Freshtime and Temperature Histogram Detailed Report via Web Portal Temperature histogram Shelf life log Temperature / time alerts Product life alerts

19 Benefits for Customer Full control of product quality along the entire supply chain Trancparency and real time status information at inspection points Dynamic shelf life information instead of raw data Ease of product handling due to comprehensive DHL service Notification to customer / DHL in case of critical conditions allows proactive reaction Enabler for RFID benefits in logistics processes Industry milestone for logistic temperature monitoring service Solution excellence due to synergy of partnership Best Use of RFID to enhance a Product or Service April 2007
