SkyCell’s 1500X Hybrid Container: Detailed Overview
The SkyCell 1500X Hybrid Container represents a significant advancement in the transportation of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals. Engineered to ensure product integrity, enhance operational efficiency, and promote sustainability, this container addresses the complex demands of modern pharmaceutical logistics. What do you need to know about it? Here’s our comprehensive overview of this solution.
1500X Hybrid Container & Product Integrity
The 1500X Hybrid Container offers an independent runtime of up to 270 hours, ensuring stable internal temperatures even amidst delays or extreme external conditions ranging from -30°C to +70°C. Its self-charging capability within cold chain environments, such as reefer trucks or cold rooms, further enhances its reliability without the need for external power sources.
At the same time, the 1500X Hybrid Container incorporates SkyMind, SkyCell’s proprietary software. This platform gives you real-time visibility into the critical parameters within the container, such as:
- location
- internal temperature,
- external temperature,
- door openings.
Thanks to this, the 1500X Hybrid Container provides state-of-the-art security like no other cold supply chain container. Add to that the double-door system and the shock absorbent feet, and you can rest assured that your products will arrive at their destination in perfect condition.
1500X Hybrid Container & Efficiency
The 1500X hybrid container is designed with efficiency in mind. Weighing 379 kg, it is 120 kg lighter than its predecessor, allowing for increased payload capacity and reduced transportation costs. Its dimensions accommodate one US or EU pallet, and its design allows four containers to fit securely on a single PMC pallet, optimizing space utilization in both air and ground transport.
This also makes it highly sustainable. According to SkyCell, its build contributes to up to a 50% decrease in CO2 emissions in the cold supply chain (in comparison to passive containers). What is more, it is designed to be reusable, which further reduces the costs generated by the 1500X and its impact on the environment.
The Industry Adoption of the 1500X Hybrid Container
The abovementioned features didn’t remain unnoticed in the industry. This solution has been chosen by leading operators in the cold supply chain, such as Delta Cargo. This further proves that the 1500X Hybrid Container is a design that meets modern, 21st-century needs in cold chain logistics.
Conclusion
The 1500X Hybrid Container is a reliable solution, one that outperforms its predecessors and other containers on the market. It’s secure, optimized for shipments, and sustainable, which makes it a perfect choice for any cold chain logistics operations.
