Serialisation machines print drug packages with the necessary codes for serialisation: Depending on the guideline, these are machine-readable matrix codes or alphanumeric character strings. The Track & Trace systems of Wipotec, however, can contribute more towards serialisation than simply printing and verifying codes.
They weigh the pharmaceutical product on the same installation surface and thus carry out a completeness check. The individual packages are additionally packaged so as to be tamper-evident. The TQS can also perform aggregation, that is the documented combination of product packages into larger packs (bundles, shipping boxes, and cases through to pallets).
This ensures complete serialisation at every level. Pharmaceutical products require some of the most expensive production areas in the world. As a result, the machines to be installed have to make do with minimum space even when machines are replaced. Aim to be achieved: more functionality in the same space.
