The regulation was hardly a surprise. Five years ago the EU issued its Falsified Medicine Directive, and today’s action is part of the implementation of that directive. “The EU requirements have been expected and most manufacturers that sell products in Europe have been waiting for the delegated acts to be published,” Bill Fletcher, managing partner with Pharma Logic Solutions said.

For apps focused on daily life activities, the issues of patient data privacy aren’t necessarily applicable because a user’s data is not being shared when they simply enter an online community.

Organization and safety work best together in most fields. If you want to be safe, have a plan and a way to organize your thoughts and keep track of the important results. This is especially true in the medical field. We wouldn’t want doctors and nurses running around in mass confusion looking for patients that need major surgery, and we wouldn’t want our medicine handled in the same chaotic manner.

The best medical packaging techniques used today are that of blister packaging, also known as pharma serialisation. There are over 2.5 billion doctor-ordered prescriptions a year and there are many dangers associated with improper tracking of those prescriptions. It has become imperative that proper tracking methods be implemented into the medical industry so every drug is accounted for. Here are some of the benefits of pharma serialisation:

Do you ever watch Undercover Boss? Think back to 2012 when Sam Taylor, CEO of Oriental Trading Company, went undercover in his own company. One of the most surprising parts of the episode showed a warehouse worker using a voice-automated picking system (see video below), and the worker would then scan the product with a scanner on the tip of his finger. Well, this example shows how wearable technology in the supply chain was being used 3 and a half years ago in 2012. However, the applications of wearable technology in the supply chain have grown beyond the computer-generated voice that spoke way too fast, way to monotone, and way too annoying. Today, wearables are becoming increasingly popular, and these devices have the potential to radicalize the typical supply chain in forward and reverse logistics processes.

Gap-free automatic data flow from the corporate ERP system directly to the production line and back is the optimum practice scenario for managers and production supervisors in pharma companies. In this scenario, orders, serial number management and reporting are performed and resolved from the shop floor office to save precious time on the line. Bridging the gap between ERP systems and the line is essential to meeting the international track & trace guidelines of serialization and aggregation. An ERP connection is particularly essential when manufacturers are required to prepare reports with serial numbers used and to register with various institutions.

The global pharmaceutical packaging equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period from 2015 to 2020. The market is poised to reach USD 7.24 billion by 2020 from USD 5.18 billion in 2015. The market is primarily driven by the growth of the generics market, rising need for novel and flexible packaging equipment, growing offshore manufacturing and contract manufacturing of pharmaceutical packaging equipment, and regulatory compliance mandating the replacement of old equipment.

Implementation of Track & Trace requirements for pharma products can be a complicated process when dealing with staged packaging lines with serialization and aggregation, or when the same product is being manufactured across parallel lines. Often these requirements are limited. PLM direct from Mettler-Toledo PCE now offers a direct connection between the XMV or XMV TE serialization station and the outside world. When serialization is running on a single station, PLM direct is the right choice. Data exchange is handled using standard XML formats, integrating the serialization station into the customer‘s system.
