The Virtual Cold Chain allows to test a shipper against any temperature profile virtually. It is possible to get the same results in a couple of minutes compared to hours or days of climate chamber test. This allows you to test a shipper not only against standard test profiles such as ISTA, Afnor, WHO, it's now possible to test against real temperature profiles.
This real temperature profiles can come from measured data from test shipments or historical weather data.
By performing the tests using thermal simulations, we could expose the passive shipper to a greater number of different ambient temperatures, typically a few hundreds or thousands. Such a virtual risk-based approach could help get a better understanding of the risk and the probability of failure.
In a case study, the selection of a winter/summer pack out for a route and a combination with an all-season shipper is shown. After a first risk-based simulation, potential modifications for the route (different starting time) and modifications of the packout will be applied for further reductions of the risk. A second example will show the protection of products with thermal covers against temperature and sun in a virtual lane risk assessment.
