Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Cold chain

The controlled sequence of storage and transport steps that keeps a pharmaceutical product within its labelled temperature range from manufacture to administration. At LogiPharma Europe, cold chain sessions typically cover 2-8C and controlled room temperature lanes, packaging choices and handover risk.

2

GDP (Good Distribution Practice)

The EU guideline (2013/C 343/01) setting quality requirements for wholesale distribution of medicinal products, including temperature control, qualification of transport routes and traceability. Exhibitors and speakers reference GDP when describing compliance-ready logistics services.

3

Temperature excursion

Any deviation of a shipment outside its qualified temperature range. Conference content focuses on detection, assessment, disposition and CAPA handling when excursions occur on international pharma lanes.

4

Controlled room temperature (CRT)

The storage band typically described as 15-25C (or 20-25C depending on the product label) used for many oral solid dose products. CRT lanes are a recurring packaging and monitoring topic alongside 2-8C cold chain.

5

Passive shipper

Insulated packaging that maintains temperature using phase change materials, dry ice or gel packs without an external power source. Passive shipper suppliers exhibit at LogiPharma to present validated pack-out configurations and seasonal lane data.

6

Active temperature-controlled container

A powered container or unit that actively heats or cools its payload, often used for air freight and ocean freight. Providers present rental fleets, control systems and qualification documentation at the exhibition.

7

Lane qualification

Documented testing that proves a specific transport route (origin, mode, duration, season, packaging) keeps product within specification. Logistics and validation providers at the event use lane qualification as a core commercial proof point.

8

3PL and 4PL

Third-party logistics providers operate warehousing and transport for pharma shippers; fourth-party providers coordinate multiple 3PLs and carriers. Both models appear across LogiPharma sessions on outsourcing and network design.

9

Serialization and track-and-trace

Unique product identifiers and aggregation data that allow a pack to be verified and traced through the supply chain, as required by the EU Falsified Medicines Directive and equivalent regimes. Technology vendors at the show connect serialization data with logistics execution.

10

Mean kinetic temperature (MKT)

A calculated single temperature representing the thermal stress a product experienced over time, used when evaluating excursions. It is a common reference in monitoring and quality discussions at pharma logistics events.

11

Last-mile pharma distribution

The final leg from a distribution centre or hub to a hospital, pharmacy, clinical site or patient. Specialty couriers and direct-to-patient services present validated last-mile models at LogiPharma.

12

Control tower visibility

A centralised operating model and software layer that tracks shipments across carriers and borders in near real time. Visibility vendors exhibit alongside cold chain hardware to link sensor data with shipment milestones.
