Case Study

Nuük is a smart, sustainable, and secure cooler designed to revolutionise the last-mile delivery of biological samples, improving reliability, compliance, and environmental impact in the medical logistics sector.

Problem

The hospital and pharmaceutical sectors face a significant challenge in maintaining control and traceability of biological samples during transport. Approximately 50% of biological samples with incidents are attributed to logistics chain failures, equating to a staggering 1.5 billion compromised samples globally each year. These failures can include temperature deviations, unauthorised access, or physical impact—each posing risks to sample integrity and patient safety. Existing solutions often fall short in addressing the stringent regulatory requirements and lack the smart technology needed for secure, traceable delivery.

Solution

Nuük, developed through a collaboration between Groenlandia Tech and Inokor, offers a revolutionary smart cooler solution designed specifically for regulated sectors such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals. It integrates real-time temperature monitoring, advanced access control via RFID, and an intelligent alert system that detects any anomaly—such as temperature breaches, unauthorised openings, or impacts.

Key Features & Benefits

Advanced Temperature & Access Control

• Real-time interior temperature monitoring.
• RFID locking system restricts access to only the sender and the recipient.
• Alerts triggered if temperature deviates, cooler is opened, or impact occurs.

Regulatory Compliance & Traceability

• Certified for UN-3373 regulation for transport of biological substances (Category B).
• Provides full traceability and auditability for clinical laboratories and hospitals.

Sustainable & Durable Design

• Constructed with ARPRO Grey and ARPRO 5133 RE with 30% recycled content from post-consumer EPP waste.
• ARPRO with 30% recycled content generates 16% less CO₂ in the production process compared to ARPRO made from virgin material
• Designed for multiple uses, with a minimum lifespan of 5 years.

Lightweight & Safe

• Ultra-light structure ensures compliance with manual handling weight limits, even when fully loaded with integrated tech.

The alliance between Groenlandia Tech and Inokor was born from the common interest to provide innovative solutions for the transport of biological samples in the last mile, for the healthcare sector. We are seeking to position the Nuük as the “Gold Standard” in smart transport."
