Full traceability
24 November 2014
Travtec has launched a software module that can be incorporated with the company’s Pharmacarton carton handling, marking and verifying system to provide full traceability of pharmaceutical packs throughout the distribution chain, from manufacture to the end-user.
The Travtec Aggregation Module enables a unique label to be prepared at each stage of the packing operation. After coding and verification by the Pharmacarton’s proven carton feeding system, primary packs can be assembled into bundles for shrinkwrapping, overwrapping or banding.
At this stage, the Aggregation Module checks that the correct packs are present and then prints a label with a 1D barcode containing details of the packs. When the bundles are packed into cases, a similar operation takes place with another summary label produced for each case. This process is repeated when the cases are placed on a pallet.
