Temperature mapping in drug distribution is mandatory!
Temperature mapping is mandatory according to the decree of the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic on requirements for proper wholesale distribution practice for drug distributors*. Although the law has been in force since 2012, regulators have not actively required temperature mapping for existing facilities so far. Currently, in case of absence of temperature mapping during the inspection, the regulator will request the mapping and the development of related documentation additionally.
Temperature mapping is necessary not only in warehouses, but also in distribution during transportation. In addition to storage areas, mapping of cooling and freezing boxes is also required. In the pharmaceutical industry, temperature mapping is also required by authorities, standards and regulations such as EMA, FDA and GSP / GDP / GMP / GLP. Output documentation from temperature mapping, protocols and reports can be aligned with common procedures, processes and standards according to customer requirements.
*Decree of Ministry of Health of Slovak Republic No. 128/2012 Coll. of March, 21 2012 on requirements for good manufacturing practice and good wholesale distribution practice”
Temperature mapping can help you identify critical points in your warehouse. Temperature mapping helps operators of storage facilities ensure that the premises are suitable for storing the intended goods and that environmental conditions can be maintained within the specified limits or criteria during operation.
Temperature mapping is especially important for temperature-sensitive goods with a narrow stability interval. Mapping can be carried out with different parameters. The most common are temperature or humidity, but any other required parameters can be mapped as well. R-DAS provides a temperature mapping service for both newly-established and existing operations, mainly warehouses.
Mapping is carried out by temporarily installing a network of LogHub sensors for a period of several days to weeks. The data is immediately available online for potential adjustments of the sensor network.
The sensors are wireless and can be moved to a different location at any time to check the conditions in any spot. The layout of many warehouses changes according to the current operation and the nature of the materials stored. With LogHub, you can adapt to this change literally in a few seconds without any interruption to your monitoring.
Temperature mapping provides documented records of suitability for the premises in relation to the activities carried out and the goods stored there.
System requirements
The only requirement for the system is Internet connection and a dedicated electrical outlet. Internet connection can be included in the service, if necessary.

One electrical socket
What is included in the temperature mapping service?
- Validation plan – description of the temperature mapping process, a sequence of steps in line with customer’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
- Risk analysis – identification of elements disturbing the temperature homogeneity in the warehouse and proposals for their mitigation or complete elimination.
- Installation of a measuring system according to individual specification – determination of logger locations and the topology of the system to cover the entire area of the warehouse and all critical points (ramp, doors, windows, gateways, air conditioning/ventilation openings, lighting...).
- Initialization of devices, central units, measurement sensors.
- Provision of documentation for mapping records – forms for recording significant events affecting temperature, e.g. loading, unloading, opening doors, windows, etc.
- Temperature mapping monitoring – this usually takes several days to weeks depending on the customer’s individual conditions. The service includes the rental of technical equipment necessary for mapping (loggers (sensors), central units, connectivity (if necessary) and others).
- Processing a report that includes an evaluation and recommendations for the optimal layout of storage positions, a temperature map with highlighted zones recommended for storage, borderline zones and zones unsuitable for storage.
Price
We approach each customer individually.Our proposed solution is adapted to the specific needs of each customer, therefore the service offer includes an individual price calculation.
After receiving a request for temperature mapping, a personal inspection of the premises usually follows. Normal operation should be ensured during the mapping, and the warehouse should be approximately at 60% capacity. If the customer can provide appropriate documentation of their storage areas, conditions, processes, or an environmental monitoring system is already deployed in the premises, it is possible to prepare an approximate offer even without a personal inspection. If multiple temperature mapping sessions are needed (seasonal, cyclical, other), we provide significant discounts for subsequent mapping.
Our tip
- If multiple temperature mapping sessions are needed (seasonal, cyclical, other), we provide significant discounts for subsequent mapping. Mapping is usually required in summer and winter, i. e. during the most extreme conditions of the year. If mapping during these periods confirms satisfactory storage conditions, the premises are validated for year-round operation.
- If, following temperature mapping, you decide to operate the monitoring system permanently, we will be happy to offer an individual discounted price. You will also get a 100% discount on the installation of our online monitoring system with continuous recording.
