SpotSee announced the launch of its newest innovation, WarmMark QR. Featuring SpotSee’s patented process for reading the visual sensor indicator, WarmMark QR is a single-use, battery-free time-temperature visual indicating sensor that combines affordability, sustainability, and cutting-edge digital integration to transform cold chain monitoring. “Our simple low-cost sensors just got smarter,” said Tony Fonk, president and CEO of SpotSee. “WarmMark QR is a cost-effective and sustainable way to track-and-trace time-temperature excursions at the box or salable unit level.” Key features of WarmMark QR include: • Affordable: WarmMark QR is 11 times more cost-effective than single-use PDF data loggers, enabling advanced cold chain monitoring for last mile and other applications. • Sustainable: Composed of 87% sustainable and 90% recyclable materials, the WarmMark QR offers a significantly smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional data loggers. • High Precision: Delivers accurate temperature readings with ±1°C (±2°F) accuracy and a 2-year shelf life, ensuring reliability for extended storage and shipping needs. • Smartphone Readable Without an App: Scans seamlessly with almost any smartphone, without requiring an app to upload data to the SpotSee Cloud. • Track and Trace: Users gain immediate access to temperature excursion data once the product is scanned complete with time, date, location, and serial number, via the SpotSee Cloud. WarmMark QR is poised to make a significant impact across various industries, including: • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Distribution: Ensuring product effectiveness is maintained from factory to patient. • Last-Mile Delivery: Providing reliable monitoring for temperature-sensitive products during final transit stages. • Vaccine Shipping: Supporting the safe and compliant transport of vaccines. • Pharmacy Delivery/Ship to Home: Ensuring patients are safely receiving their prescriptions at home. • Diagnostic Tests and Specimens: Track and trace temperature excursions related to critical diagnostic reagents and specimens. • Chemical Transportation: Maintaining the integrity of sensitive materials throughout their journey. • Temperature-Sensitive Food Products: Protecting quality and safety in the food supply chain. By integrating WarmMark QR into their operations, customers enhance compliance, reduce manual record-keeping, and gain access to actionable insights. “WarmMark QR addresses the biggest challenge by monitoring temperature in the last mile, the level that matters most,” added Fonk. “Our patented technology, commitment to sustainability, and integration with the SpotSee Cloud makes this an indispensable tool for industries and products that require visibility at every level.” With a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $1.49 USD, – in the United States, the WarmMark QR is 11 times less expensive than the average single use PDF data logger and is comprised of 91.1% sustainable materials. Available in various standard temperatures, these time-over-temperature visual indicators now on www.SpotSee.io and from global distributors.
