The present invention relates to a delivery box for monitoring the temperature of a delivery product, and more particularly, an object of the present invention is to provide a delivery box for monitoring the temperature of a delivery product so that the temperature of a temperature-sensitive product can be monitored.

With the bio industry emerging as the next-generation blue ocean, bio logistics, centered on global express delivery companies such as TNT, DHL, and UPS, is expanding rapidly.

As clinical trials in Korea become more active, the need to have a specialized delivery system for delivery services that meets the requirements of this field has been raised, and as the Food and Drug Administration announced the Clinical Guidelines (GCP), the importance of the biologistics field was increasingly emphasized. Has become.

To date, not only domestic but also overseas, biologistics is still at the level of providing specialized services for bio-products by a few logistics companies.

On the other hand, the importance of specimen testing is increasing with the scientific and modernization of medicine, but due to enormous equipment and manpower problems, most hospitals entrust specimen testing to external organizations.

A company that conducts a consignment inspection business for a domestic bio-sample is a business that consigns and carries out a test activity to determine a patient's symptoms or disease by collecting the patient's blood, secretions, and tissues from the patient's body and examining and analyzing them. Currently, the establishment of a safety management system conforming to international standards is insufficient for the bar code-based sample and blood pack management and manual-based storage status monitoring method.

In particular, the conventional technology is only to determine whether a safe and accurate transport has been performed by monitoring movement information, temperature information, and door opening and closing information in real time in the transport of goods of refrigerated/refrigerated vehicles. There is no technology that provides a judgment on whether or not an item is used.

Therefore, the following problems have occurred in the conventional logistics delivery system.

First, the existing blood transport system has a problem that it is not adequate to monitor the temperature measurement value structurally and take immediate action when a problem occurs, and it can only be checked with a temperature recorder after the operation is completed.

Second, the existing transportation of medical samples was thought to be maintained in a refrigerated state below 10℃ during the transportation process, but there is a problem that the temperature in the transportation box rises to a temperature above 10℃, which does not reach the refrigerated state. There was a problem that the time and temperature of each step could not be recorded.

Third, when a vehicle for transporting livestock products is regulated, there is a problem that nearly 70% of vehicles violate regulations such as the operation of refrigeration and refrigeration facilities is not normal and there is no submission of temperature recording paper.

Fourth, there is a problem that there are many losses and damages of transported goods, and transport monitoring and location history of high-risk specimens cannot be confirmed.

As a result, the conventional logistics system has a very weak problem in acquisition management, transport management, and quality management. In order to solve the above problems, the following prior art documents have been developed in the prior art, but there is still a large problem that cannot solve the problems of the prior art at once.
