In response to the emerging serialisation mandates and requirements, Acsis has worked with Cognex to deliver a serialised packaging data management solution. Acsis chief technology officer, John DiPalo, explains how vision systems are key to such solutions.
To prevent counterfeit drugs from finding their way into the hands of consumers, pharmaceutical regulators around the world are in the process of establishing stricter regulations for pharmaceutical manufacturers, co-producers, distributors and retailers. At the same time, pharmaceutical manufacturers want to improve traceability to prevent counterfeiting and isolate the source and extent of safety and quality control problems.
To respond to the emerging serialisation mandates and requirements, Acsis worked with Cognex to deliver a serialised packaging data management (SPDM) solution, designed to convert demand from the pharmaceutical manufacturer’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to drive individual packaging lines and production cells.
