Description

The present invention relates to, for example, a constant monitoring system for the state of a transported object or a stored object used at a distribution site where a drug is transported from a drug manufacturer's storage to a medical institution.

Since most of the above-mentioned medicines are disliked to be handled at high temperatures, they have been generally transported by mounting them on a refrigerated / frozen vehicle or individually putting them in a cool box.

In such a transport system, when all the medicines to be transported are of the same type or similar to each other, the temperature control during transportation can be collectively performed by the thermometer of the vehicle, so that there is no problem.
However, when transporting a wide variety of medicines, blood or serum that have emerged in response to the recent development of medical treatment, the management conditions for the transported items are different one by one, so the vehicles to be loaded are separately mounted and transported. However, it is necessary to carry them individually in a cold storage box, and it is becoming difficult to handle this with this transport system that collectively controls the temperature.

Under these circumstances, in recent years, a system has been constructed in which a wide variety of medicines, blood, serum, and the like are individually stored in a cool box and transported (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
