Not just cold storage will be required, but complete transparency, what if at a certain port/authority, vaccines are consistently mishandled or rendered useless? We need to know where, when and why this happens

#STAR really has all of the bases covered, and a product endorsed by the one and only Bosch GMBH https://www.iotforall.com/working-during-a-pandemic-what-organizations-can-do-with-iot

Lets take a look at their partners and exposure, and see where some of the leads may originate from - fortunately, #STAR has a lot of great partners that will be all over the vaccine/treatment suppliers

First up: Bosch TDL140 (aka Kylos) https://www.bosch-connectivity.com/products/connected-logistics/transport-data-logger-freight-guard/

Bosch approved the TDL/Kylos in April 2019, after two years of hard work - the TDL is also gaining approvals from airlines, including Southwest Airlines in the USA, and SwissWorldCargo - A sub of Lufthansa, it also has DO160

Bosch are also from Germany (Cough, Pfizer...)

But it does not stop there! A very promising container tracking start-up (which as grown considerably) comes from Contguard https://www.contguard.com/  Contguard Sole Product is the Tetis and Tetis-R, a container tracking device (very similar to the TDL/Kylos)

The devices are also approved and being used by another great start-up, Arviem AG - Similar to Contguard, they track containers throughout the entire supply chain, and they use the #STAR Tetis and Tetis-R tracking devices

There's more! Arguably an even bigger partner, Cargo Signal In the USA (sub of the giant Expeditors) also have the full fleet of #STAR devices as per 2019 Interims https://www.cargosignal.com/ 

Safe to say, there is a major opportunity ahead for #STAR devices, and to ensure these products become the new 'digital supply chain' - we all know the shipping industry can be a little outdated, the pandemic and need for vaccines should accelerate this transition ten fold
