Track and trace solutions for the life sciences supply chain
by Zebra Technologies Corp.
This white paper by Zebra Technologies Corp. describes how to take advantage of multiple forms of pharmaceutical labeling to create secure, efficient new business processes. It provides an understanding of the issues and opportunities by: recapping the FDA unit-of-use bar code rule; providing an overview of track-and-trace initiatives for deterring counterfeiting and improving supply chain performance, and describing how production tracking, inventory control, distribution and returns, recall management and compliance with prescription drug marketing act (PDMA) and other documentation requirements can all be improved with track-and-trace systems.
Also discussed is how unit-of-use bar code marking, RFID labeling and brand protection media can be integrated into highly secure and effective track-and-trace systems. Thermal printers have become compelling tools for successfully meeting increased traceability and labeling requirements.
