TRACK AND TRACE SYSTEMS

Track and Trace System for pharmaceuticals tracks a drug, a vaccine, a medical device, as it moves forward through the supply chain and traces backward to reveal where it has been in the supply chain, all the way back to the individual ingredients or components that combined to create it. A Track and Trace System usually utilizes specialized software combined with product labelling, particularly 2D matrix codes as unique identifiers, to achieve these capabilities. Track and Trace Systems in pharmaceutical packaging offers a powerful solution to ensure product authenticity, enhance safety and quality control, enable efficient recalls and ensure regulatory compliance. The key components involved in Track and Trace Systems are Unique Identification, Data Capture, Packaging Integration, Data Management, Serialization and Aggregation. The Tracking and Tracing of product movement at different levels of packaging are Data Exchange, Scanning & Verification, Traceability & Monitoring, Compliance & Reporting and Recall Management.
