Leading Pharma Leverages Clarity To Counter Counterfeiting

In a sweeping effort to increase patient safety and combat the growing problem of counterfeit drug products, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer is adding 2D data matrix bar-code serialization into its strategic product security initiatives. This initiative is allowing the company to more readily identify suspect product in the marketplace.

Eventually, this system will extend the ability to authenticate products to both supply chain partners and consumers, further ensuring patient safety and brand integrity. This pharmaceutical manufacturer must address these complicated safety challenges while dealing with the efficiency pressures associated with increased line changeover and line performance demands.

To accomplish this, the company has undertaken a multi-year commitment to establishing and growing a Packaging Execution System (PES) beginning with item-level serialization and will expand its operation with the addition of performance metrics. This manufacturer selected Systech's PES approach to serve as a flexible, extensible platform.
