Traceability is critical to quality assurance in the pharmaceutical sector. But serializing individually packaged items may create bottlenecks in a production cycle. Besides the printing and labeling steps, serialization systems must ensure seamless interoperability with other process stages.

Serialization solution for pharma product packaging

Item Serialization Units from Dec Group are custom-built solutions for individually packaged products. The system offers complete solutions including vision inspection, robotics, software, and printing components.

The product loading capacity ranges from 150 to 400 p/min and is either manually operated or automatic. Moreover, the onboard labeler features temper evidence functionality. The units integrate into standard production equipment and software platforms designed for the pharmaceutical industry.

Software to differentiate between the original pharmaceutical barcode and a reprint

Counterfeit products pose a serious threat as much to consumers as to producers. Standard barcodes are used to mark the items to track and trace the origin of the product; however, they can be easily regenerated or copied and serialization infrastructure can’t always detect manipulation. A system that can distinguish an original bar code from a reprint could be a good solution against counterfeiting.

Verifying the authenticity of a barcode using a smartphone camera

Thymaris Alpha from Hicof is a software that helps to differentiate between original barcode and reprint. Thymaris works by identifying micro tolerances for each printed barcode by using a software that creates a unique copy detection key that is stored in the Thymaris cloud. Microtolerances are what make a code individual. Using a smartphone camera, you can compare the copy detection key stored in the cloud to see if the printed code is the original one. Thymaris also has an integrated brand protection system with easy integration into existing serialization installations. Thymaris can provide a highly protected account database for managing the copy detection keys and a management interface to obtain real information about the status of your supply chains.

A typical pharmaceutical production handles numerous work flow activities like management of assets, shifts, shop floor activities, production scheduling and process orders. Quality control, track and trace and supply chain are the key production control tasks. Currently, the data required to control production is stored at different locations in the company’s database, making it difficult to integrate all processes. A single centralized platform incorporating all production operations optimizes processes and maximizes production efficiency.

A complete database management system for pharmaceutical production line

Yudoo from SEA VISION is a multi-module advanced software suite that aids the pharmaceutical industry evolve from traditional production to smart digital manufacturing. It integrates numerous pharma production applications into a single platform. A centralized batch production management system monitors the work flow in real-time. Production activities for start/stop, selecting machines, cleaning, format change and printer template are controlled on lines and systems on the manufacturing site.

The system offers a comprehensive set of tools for managing all the pharmaceutical quality standards compliant with the current regulations. Sensors kits installed on the machine gather alarm signals and digitalize the data. Short- and long-term historical data collected makes way for performance analysis and monitoring. An intuitive interface prompts operators for their everyday tasks. The system also enables shift management, involving teams and assets integration. Assigning of teams to shifts helps identify inefficiencies, improves shift management and overall team performance. Role-based management guarantees that the correct individuals have access to the right information at the right time. The system integrates various tools to manage track and trace configuration and maximize the efficiency of serialized pharma production lines. It enables communication with the company’s ERP or MES, as well as other cloud-based systems for total centralized control.

To accommodate different products of varied sizes, the pharmaceutical industry requires handling many different cartons, cases and pallets across multiple packaging lines. Track and trace operations ensure quality control of data and code in serialization and aggregation. At the same time, the integration of multiple in-line packaging machines across the supply chain helps in having total control of the products. An all-in-one system offering serialization and multi-level aggregation accomplishes that along the supply chain.

Serialization and aggregation solution assuring supply chain safety

Tracker from SEA VISION is a serialization and vision inspection system for in-line packaging machines handling cartons, cases and pallets. The system handles any type of serialization and aggregation like PoDA, PoDA+ or Track and Trace, in compliance with regulations. It is capable of printing, controlling and serializing cartons and aggregating cases and pallets on different machines. As per the ANSI grading control, the software performs OCV/ OCR checks on each code, in real-time. It inspects and compares the codes and variable data with reference models and tolerances and generates a reject signal on sensing a defect. The complete inspection ensures that only correct products are commissioned. The HMI panel displays control results and execution instructions in real time. Different trackers installed on the packaging lines have continuous communication with each other and with the machines, offering full control of products across the supply chain. The system can further be integrated with other controls, if necessary.
