RMGT press returns faster throughput for pharmaceutical and healthcare manufacturers

The pharmaceutical industry’s understanding of serialization is maturing as companies slowly begin to recognize the added business value supply chain traceability can provide. Historically, the industry’s focus on serialization has been driven by the need to satisfy evolving regulations. However, companies are realizing that the benefits of traceability extend beyond compliance.

The barcode is so pervasive in worldwide commerce that it’s hard to believe its use is still increasing. Now add prescription drug anti-counterfeiting measures to the list.

Supply Chain Wizard introduces user friendly yet powerful OEE Tracker, an analytics-based tool to improve the overall equipment efficiency of pharmaceutical packaging and manufacturing lines in a cost-effective, expedited fashion.

The Bottle Tracking System is the complete hardware and software solution to fulfill the current and upcoming regulations on traceability and e-pedigree when bottles have to be managed as a single selling unit.

Adents will demonstrate its Seriza serialization software solution at Pack Expo East, February 27-March 1 in Philadelphia.  

As mid-2016 passes by, the pharmaceutical packaging world is surrounded by serialization and DSCSA (Drug Supply Chain Security Act) activity.

Sharp Packaging Solutions has increased its packaging capacity by 30% for its life science customers with a $45 million investment in a new Center of Excellence for specialty/biologic/cold chain packaging and in the addition of four new bottling lines within its adjacent 270,000-square-foot contract packaging facilities.  

The medical and pharmaceutical packaging industries today face challenges and opportunities in light of recent growth, legislation changes and patient usage issues.
