ORCA Multi-Use or ORCA Connect Vision?
ORCA solutions provide the highest quality passive temperature-control for all your payload requirements. We want you to get the most out of your packaging, so it is important that you know the key differences between all the solutions in the range. Below, we have highlighted the key differences between ORCA Multi-Use and ORCA Connect Vision to help you select the most suitable option.

Key Features of ORCA Connect Vision
ORCA Connect Vision shares all the same features as ORCA Multi-Use, but comes with some unique features designed to make monitoring the performance of your packaging in transit easier:
ORCA Connect Vision vs ORCA Multi-Use?
Both ORCA Connect Vision and ORCA Multi-Use are designed to be used multiple times before refurbishment is needed. The primary difference between the two solutions is that while they are both compatible with multiple data loggers, ORCA Connect Vision allows you to track your payload in real-time. It has a dedicated space within the packaging that provides complete visibility of the status of your payload throughout the course of its shipment.
Both ORCA solutions are qualified against ISTA 7D profiles for up to 96 hours and are available in three temperature ranges, as well as dry ice.
