FISHERS,
Ind., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ArcticRx by
ChefsFridge Co. announces its launch of the ArcticRx pod.
The company unveiled its ready to transport pod Thursday at the
Indiana IoT Lab in Fishers, IN.
Developing innovative technology with Rolls-Royce thermal
engineers, ArcticRx is a ULT delivery pod able to transport and
store items at stable temperatures for 21+ days on a single charge
of dry ice. An incredible leap in performance over other passive
ULT vehicles on the market, the unique design and thermal control
allows ArcticRx to achieve the goals of capturing, maintaining, and
elongating storage time using a variety of cooling agents at a wide
range of temperatures.
The event marks a significant milestone for ArcticRx, an
engineering brainstorm to reduce vaccine waste during the Covid-19
pandemic.
"Rolls-Royce is working to foster innovation and
entrepreneurship globally and locally," said Allen Barta, Program Manager of Technology &
Partnerships, U.S. Lead for SBIR/STTR Engagement. "We've created a
network to share practices and ideas. When an idea comes up, we can
find partners through our network."
ChefsFridge Co. became the partner of choice, and Barta says
with the final product, "Anywhere in the world is now within reach
with the ArcticRx."
The founding duo, Stuart
Lowry and M. Shane
Bivens chose headquarters close to home at the Indiana IoT
Lab thanks to the City of
Fishers.
"We're incredibly proud to see the ArcticRx team launch
their groundbreaking new pod," said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. "The Indiana IoT Lab was
created with the goal of fostering innovation and has grown to be a
hub for great ideas that turn into reality, and this milestone is
another example of that work coming to life. The heart of
Fishers is our innovative spirit
and we are committed to supporting big ideas that can change the
world."
The unveiling event featured the newest pods ready for global
transport, and a product demonstration by ArcticRx showcasing the
myriad of ways they can serve clients with the challenge of moving
cold-chain products that need protection or extended time to reach
their final destination. Bivens says Thursday's unveiling is
the culmination of a long journey, "It is incredible to have with
us all of those who have had an integral part in bringing this pod
to market. This advance in transport packaging is light years ahead
of anything else in the world."
