Company Overview
The pharmaceutical industry is facing new challenges. The restructuring of healthcare systems and rising development costs are leading to growing price pressure. As a result of globalization, product safety and brand protection have become increasingly important issues. In this connection, protection from counterfeit products is especially critical. Added to that are stricter legal requirements for the production and sale of pharmaceuticals. Development cycles are becoming shorter and so-called lifestyle products now need to be included in product portfolios. Accordingly, an increasing number of products are developed in a shorter space of time.
As one of the world’s largest providers of tracking and tracing products, Siemens offers pharmaceutical companies an unrivaled solution to today’s market trends and legal requirements: E-pedigree – the serialization of products – creates visibility and traceability for pharmaceuticals across the entire lifecycle. It thus ensures their consistent protection – especially against counterfeiting.
Pedigree: Seamless tracking of pharmaceuticals through serialization
The serialization of products (E-Pedigree) creates traceability for pharmaceuticals across the entire lifecycle and, in particular, protects against counterfeiting. The solution developed by Siemens “E-Pedigree Demonstrator for Serialization” simulates serialization of the packaging imprint with a data matrix code or RFID.
