Packaging & Product Protection White Papers & Case Studies

1. OEE And Product Inspection Efficiency In The Pharmaceutical Industry 6/4/2020

   Few industries are as heavily regulated as the pharmaceutical industry, as poor quality or otherwise defective pharmaceutical products can potentially have fatal results for end users. Manufacturers must perform a careful balancing act: weighing pressure to improve production speeds against the need to ensure compliance with government regulations. The purpose of this white paper is to provide an overview of the various components that go into measuring OEE, a method of obtaining a complete view of the efficiency of a production process, and then to discuss the ways in which product inspection equipment can affect OEE in the pharmaceutical industry.

2. Contract Pharmacal Corporation Installs X-Ray Inspection And Checkweighers For Brand Protection And Quality 5/12/2020

   CPC develops, manufacturers and packages premium pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements. Since five of their lines package product in a foil-laminated film, which disrupts traditional metal detector, they need to implement x-ray systems for those lines.

3. Catalent Keeps On Track In Compliance With Track & Trace Solutions 5/12/2020

   Catalent Biologics works closely with its customers from early development through commercial supply. To comply with serialization regulations, Catalent’s Bloomington, Indiana, USA team needed an affordable Track & Trace solutions that could be easily added to their vial and syringe packaging suites.

4. Achieving Track And Trace Compliance In Russia 4/27/2020

   Within the next several years, the Russian Track and Trace system shall cover all industries, from cigarettes and medications, to child nutrition and clothing. Tracking the movement of goods from the manufacturer to the consumer will be achieved through product serialization and subsequent aggregation. Russian manufacturers and foreign exporters alike will have to adhere to the system requirements within the timeframe defined for each industry.

5. Key Considerations For In-Line Checkweighing Of Packaged Products In Pharma 4/17/2020

   Checkweighers used in pharmaceutical packaging need to achieve high levels of dynamic weighing accuracy. In addition to weighing accuracy, it is essential that any checkweigher, and its operating software, are suited for the unique regulatory environment under which pharmaceutical plants operate. Learn what system design and support considerations can help manufacturers select the correct system for use in a wider quality control regime.

6. Test Method Development, Experimental Design And Positive Controls For Package Integrity 4/9/2020

   Given that the experimental design has only two conditions, leaking and non-leaking, this variable is extremely important to understand. Proper use of  positive controls and knowledge of how alternative approaches are applied to challenge a test method support the validity and reliability of the method.

7. Container Closure Integrity Testing: The Importance Of Sensitivity, Automation And Efficiency 4/6/2020

   This article will explore the need for sensitive, reliable, and automated container closure integrity (CCI) testing technologies, and how existing deterministic solutions can help achieve optimum quality assurance goals in CCI for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

8. Effects Of X-Ray Inspection On Pharmaceutical Products 12/12/2019

   Some manufacturers still have reservations about adopting x-ray inspection as a safe method of product inspection. This white paper examines the potential effects of x-ray inspection on pharma products.

9. Metal Detection System Improves Efficiency And Product Safety 8/6/2019

   The AuditCheck metal detection verification performance system utilizes an automated test shuttle that moves through the metal detector’s field at user-specified points in time.

10. Solid Dose Manufacturer Installs Serialization Efforts For Compliance 7/1/2019

    Artesan Pharma demonstrates how an effective program of serialization, i.e. the traceability of medicines, can successfully be put into practice in today's pharmaceutical industry.
