Largest cellular IoT rollout for COVID-19 vaccines is complete

Supply chain management firm Controlant has announced the successful conclusion of its cellular IoT rollout for COVID-19 vaccine distribution – the largest seen globally thus far. IoT modules from communications company Telit were used in the project to ensure connectivity and real-time monitoring of vaccine shipments.

In an initiative that began in 2021, Controlant produced almost 1million cellular cold-chain data logger devices, powered by Telit IoT modules to enable and monitor distribution and quality control of billions of vaccine doses.

The companies are to receive the 2022 GLOMO Award for Best Innovation for COVID-19 Pandemic Response and Recovery for the project.

“Despite a period of severe material shortages and production challenges during various waves of virus outbreaks and regional lock-downs, Telit and its suppliers and production partners engaged in unprecedented collaboration to deliver all vaccine units in record time and enable the vaccination campaigns to be implemented without any disruption in the supply,” said Martin Krona, senior vice president at Telit.
