Abstract: This study focuses on the growing need within the pharmaceutical industry to preserve the integrity of temperature-sensitive drugs like vaccines and biologics throughout their storage and transport. Existing systems, often relying on manual or semi-automated processes, frequently lead to drug spoilage, inefficiencies, and poor traceability. This paper introduces the design and implementation of a platform that utilizes the Internet of Things (IoT) for drug inventory management and monitoring the cold supply chain. The system incorporates real-time environmental sensors, user-friendly web interfaces for both administrators and consumers, automated alerts, and a secure database to ensure efficient operation. The goal is to improve transparency, maintain regulatory compliance, and safeguard the effectiveness of drugs during distribution. Through simulated trials, the platform demonstrates promising results in terms of inventory precision, responsiveness to alerts, and overall accessibility for users. This scalable and secure solution is ideal for pharmaceutical and healthcare logistics sectors.
