Dear  ,
 
The likelihood of serialization regulations emerging globally and the unpredictability of future regulations make it imperative that manufacturers invest in a solution that can quickly and cost-effectively accommodate changes and respond to new demands.  Systech's U.S. patent-pending Item Process Stream (IPS) provides manufacturers with a solution that they can continually leverage to efficiently address both current and future needs at multiple sites worldwide.  IPS is the methodology that we have built into our Serialized Product Tracking (SPT) software.  In this newsletter, we will provide you with an overview of IPS and discuss its critical role in offering a productized, configurable, and expandable solution that allows manufacturers to minimize the total cost of ownership in each step of the serialization life cycle.  

 

I hope that you find this useful.  If you have any comments or suggestions regarding this or future editions, please drop a note to newsletter@systech-tips.com

 

Regards,

IPS: Managing Total Cost of Ownership  

Local and global regulatory requirements will constantly evolve.  Manufacturers can prepare for future developments by investing in technology that is capable of easily accommodating changing requirements while also controlling Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).  TCO includes the costs of software, hardware, systems integrations, validation, revalidation, and line throughput.  From a TCO perspective, the key considerations for serialization are...... 

IPS: A critical role in each step of the serialization life cycle

Serialization has several steps in its life cycle.  Each of these steps presents various challenges, including software adjustments and throughput modifications, as well as line equipment and data requirements changes.  Therefore, serialization does require a significant investment.  The flexibility, adaptability, and scalability of IPS, however, allow manufacturers to.....

 Serialization Strategies for Today & Tomorrow
We have developed a position paper, Serialization Strategies for Today & Tomorrow, based on the learnings gleaned from working with the 20 largest pharmaceutical manufacturers on 150 serialization lines.  This piece examines the market conditions surrounding serialization and enumerates the primary criteria for selecting a unified approach.  It also illustrates how Systech's third-generation Serialized Product Tracking (SPT) software helps address those considerations.

Systech and Aegate present at "Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting Conference"
Frederic Menardo, General Manager of Europe for Systech International and Graham Smith, Senior V.P. of Business Development for Aegate, recently presented at the Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting conference in Amsterdam.  Both Industry leaders pooled their expertise and insights into identifying best practices in implementing their serialization technology to address anti-counterfeiting initiatives.  With the new European legislation (Directive 2001/83/EC) regarding anti-counterfeiting and serialization technology, pharmaceutical manufacturers need to meet these new mandates.  Once the European Commission passes this legislation....
