In pharmaceutical logistics, certifications play a crucial role. Only companies that fulfill the required quality standards are considered by pharmaceutical companies as their service partners.
Some of these standards – e.g., the guidelines issued by the Transported Assets Protection Association – require the use of CCTV to secure the company site and its buildings. In order to receive the TAPA FSR certificate for a storage area, a suitable video system had to be proven for the central warehouse in Fußgönheim. As part of the “Cool Chain Control System” – a unique concept developed by Frigo-Trans that ensures the smooth interplay of the components fleet, warehouses, staff and technology to ensure an uninterrupted cold chain – video technology plays a key role to support the internal processes.
There were quite a few technical demands on the video system to be installed: the video system had to be IP-based, offering maximum flexibility, running on standard hardware and providing easy scalability. A great emphasis was also put on reliability – in case of a server failure, the video system should continue to operate without significant interruptions. And finally it was necessary to have a simple interface to the Frigo-Trans warehouse management system.
We’ve made a very good choice with the system – the Octave software is very robust and reliable.

During a visit to the security show in Essen (Germany), Frigo-Trans met the installer Moog Pieper and was impressed by the company’s range of services. The video management software Coda Video that was part of Moog Pieper’s solution pitch also played a key role as it covers both, security and process support – thus meeting both crucial prerequisites of Frigo-Trans.
Using Coda Video as the heart of the installation, site and building security can be reliably implemented. Expanding this base with the Coda Video logistics solution, which combines video recordings with the scan data obtained from business processes, makes this data more transparent. The software can be easily adapted and expanded over time. New cameras, new company locations or new functions such as license plate recognition can be added at any time. In addition, Coda Video has a built-in failover solution that can compensate for the failure of a management or recording server.
