The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) of 2013 requires packagers of pharmaceuticals to uniquely identify products according to the following simplified timeline.
2015
Supply chain capabilities.
2017
Product is serialized at the saleable unit.
2019
Distributors must track the shipment of serialized product.
2023
Product must be fully aggregated from item to case to pallet.
Our engineers have experience specifying, commissioning, and qualifying serialization systems. We have validated the serialization process and converted 70 products from non-serialized to serialized versions. These are complicated projects that require a range of skills, as well as a good understanding of the manufacturing process and how it will be affected.
Serialization Systems: We have enabled serialization systems from the industry leaders:
Packaging Line Equipment: Serialization systems must be integrated to existing line equipment. This adds a layer of complexity that is often out of the serialization vendor’s scope.
Printers
Printers
Cameras
Printer & Apply Units
Case Packers
Labelers
Labelers
IT Interfaces: In addition to the line level systems there is a significant amount of IT interface development to link the serialization databases to Enterprise and External Data Repositories. Our engineers have done a significant amount of work in troubleshooting these interfaces and resolving the numerous errors that can occur when combining different systems and levels of systems.
Put our experience to work for you.
