Howen Safeguards the Leading Pharmaceutical Fleet in Ivory Coast
- Ivory Coast
Howen, a global leading AI telematics solution provider, has successfully deployed cutting-edge safety technology for one of the largest pharmaceutical fleets in Ivory Coast. In the initial phase of the project, Howen equipped over 400 trucks with advanced and secure logistics transportation solutions.

The pharmaceutical logistics industry faces unique challenges due to its specific requirements and the harsh climatic conditions in West Africa:
- Drug safety is uncertain due to challenging transport conditions for temperature-sensitive medications.
- Drug loss risks rise, and remote area accidents are hard to trace.
- Pharmaceutical fleet scheduling is slow, costly, and often delays drug transport.
Howen Intelligent Security Solution uses the self-developed V8 Dashcam and VSS platform to achieve real-time monitoring and intelligent management of the entire transportation process:
Core Features:
· Geo-fencing Alerts: The platform issues immediate warnings when vehicles deviate from predefined routes or zones, effectively preventing drug theft and unauthorized use.
Multi-Dimensional Safety Management:
· Temperature and Humidity Monitoring: Tracks the storage environment of pharmaceuticals throughout the journey.
· Door Sensor Monitoring: Detects the opening and closing status of cargo doors in real time to avoid the drug theft.
· Driver Behavior Monitoring: Uses seat vibration alerts to warn against drowsy driving.


Customer Testimony: Value Enhancement Behind the Data
- Smart Safety: Utilizing DMS functionality to monitor driver behavior in real-time, preventing dangerous driving behaviors, reducing accidents, and lowering insurance costs.
- Cost Control: AI route planning reduces average transport time and decreases diesel consumption by 8%.
- Stable Cooperation: Monitoring the cabin environment ensures drug quality, optimizes drug transport costs, reduces drug loss, and increases trust from downstream enterprises (hospitals, pharmacies), fostering long-term stable cooperation.
“Within several months of installation, customer claims for damaged goods have been significantly reduced. Now, all newly purchased vehicles must be equipped with Howen devices as standard,” said the fleet manager.
Facing the unique challenges of the West African transport industry, Howen has served over 20 major African countries, deployed thousands of devices. Howen consistently adheres to high standards in product implementation and deployment.
