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.    

ORCA Range Key Features

Utilising Vacuum Insulated Panels (VIP) and Phase Change Material (PCM) technology, it offers a high-performance solution spread across five distinct product types at temperature ranges from -70°C with dry ice to ambient temperatures of 15-25°C.

The ORCA range can cater to a number of payload requirements, from the portable ORCA Response to our fully collapsible ORCA Pallet, giving you the flexibility to select the packaging system that can best protect your payload.

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.

In conclusion, if your payload requires constant monitoring, ORCA Connect Vision provides the ability to track your payload’s condition at any time throughout its shipment. For a reusable solution that is durable and robust and compatible with multiple data loggers, but without the in-transit data monitoring capabilities, ORCA Multi-Use is the best option.
