One of our key speakers and exhibitors is DFDS, which is a leading European transport and logistics company, serving customers across Europe and Turkey. “We move goods in trailers by ferry, road, and rail, across 66 logistics locations and employ more than 13,200 people,” says Tom Jackaman, DFDS Logistics business development manager.

“DFDS Logistics offers a full-service package, including contract logistics, cold-chain transport and warehousing as well as full load, part load and groupage services, with cross-docking, blast freezing and up tempering,” he continues. “In addition, we provide customs clearance services and Port Health (SIVEP) processing; validating CHEDs and paying port taxes, to ensure the smooth flow of goods at the border.

“Specifically for UK exporters of chilled dairy products, DFDS operates three times (3x) groupage departures per week and multiple daily trailers for FTL and PTL shipments. Using our knowledge and expertise in shipping Products of Animal Origin (POAO), DFDS provides a hassle-free, in-house process from departure to delivery.

“Moving goods and people by land and sea leaves a large carbon footprint. It is therefore our responsibility to review our impact on the environment and to secure a more sustainable future for the generations to come. In Logistics, our 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target is a 75% reduction in GHG intensity from road transport, terminals and warehousing. Various initiatives are underway to help us achieve this goal, not least the deployment of 125 Electrical Volvo Trucks, making it one of Europe’s largest heavy-duty electric truck fleets.”

The CLEEN solution combines Ecolab expertise and a proven, best-in-class digital compliance platform purpose-built for life sciences manufacturing, eliminating paper-based dependency and offering the game-changing benefits of digital solutions throughout the manufacturing delivery chain.

“Life sciences manufacturers feel growing pressure to drive production performance—while consistently meeting the highest standards of quality and safety to protect consumers and safeguard their brand,” said Surachet Tanwongsval, senior vice president and general manager, Global Life Sciences at Ecolab. “The CLEEN solution gives them the competitive advantage of digitally charged compliance validation across their operations.”

With the CLEEN platform, manufacturers can:

• Move from manual checks and paper-based logs to digitized documentation and real-time monitoring.
• Dramatically simplify audit-readiness and access all their compliance records on-demand.
• Put analytics tools to work on all that digitized information to uncover where they can make improvements to protect quality and improve performance.

The CLEEN platform includes two modules built specifically for the needs and demands of life sciences manufacturers. The CLEEN Digital Logbook goes well beyond the standard logbook tool, enabling manufacturers to rapidly convert any SOP or compliance process into a highly digitized workflow. Self-enforcing interlocks and built-in on-demand training materials drive SOP adherence by design; a comprehensive digital audit trail enables real-time reporting; and embedded analytics benchmark performance to identify opportunities to reduce downtime, improve equipment availability, and increase the efficient utilization of resources.

The CLEEN Validation module streamlines and standardizes compliance validation with intelligent automation. Manufacturers can complete compliant validation up to three times faster while ensuring data integrity at each stage. With the click of a button, CLEEN Validation drafts new protocols for the user, runs precise calculations on carryover limits and worst-case product rankings, auto-generates audit reports for export, and delivers recommendations for optimizing existing cleaning procedures.

“Life sciences manufacturers know they need to increase digitization across their operations, but they’ve got plants to run and production quotas to hit—they can’t risk a long or disruptive digital deployment,” said Tanwongsval. “Ecolab can help life sciences manufacturers go digital—without the disruption. CLEEN is the easy path to going digital—and a fast-track to big results.”
