Join AIM’s RFID Experts Group on May 12 at 2:00 PM ET as industry leaders begin discussion focused on end-to-end visibility, interoperability, and traceability for temperature-sensitive goods. This call has been necessitated as demand continues to rise for reliable transport of temperature-sensitive goods such as pharmaceuticals, biologics, and perishable foods. With this, the industry is facing a growing need for more unified, scalable, and interoperable monitoring solutions. On this call, REG participants will begin exploring how AIM can help advance industry collaboration around a cold chain project aimed at improving visibility, accountability, and standards alignment across the supply chain.
Today, many cold chain operations still rely on standalone temperature data loggers that provide only limited snapshots of product conditions during transit. This fragmented approach often results in delayed feedback, siloed data, and limited ability to intervene when temperature excursions occur, creating risk for spoilage, recalls, compliance failures, and inefficiencies. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global cold chain logistics market is projected to reach approximately $515.8 billion by 2031, underscoring the scale and urgency of improving end-to-end cold chain visibility and traceability. This proposed project will explore opportunities to define a more unified framework for cold chain data integration, helping to support interoperability across hardware, software platforms, and supply chain stakeholders while enabling stronger compliance with initiatives such as FSMA 204, sustainability goals, and broader traceability efforts.
This discussion is expected to focus on the role RFID and sensor-enabled technologies can play in enabling more continuous, real-time monitoring from pallet-level visibility down to the box or item level. By establishing common data structures and encouraging broader industry alignment, this work could help reduce integration barriers, improve trust among trading partners, and unlock new opportunities for innovation across food, healthcare, logistics, and beyond. Intrested parties are encouraged to attend and contribute their perspectives as this important conversation begins.
