Track & Trace

The Tracking of Medical Devices feature gives each medicine or medical product its own UDI code. Using the Pexcite database, the code can then be tracked through the entire packaging, transport and warehousing process. This can be used to calculate and search for valuable data such as completeness, dwell time and warehouse accuracy. At the same time, having the supply chain monitored from manufacturer to patient helps to eliminate opportunities for manipulation, attempted counterfeiting or corruption anywhere in the world.

In Europe, the USA and many parts of Asia, there is already a legal requirement for medicines and medical products to be clearly labeled. But it is only a matter of time before these laws are implemented in other parts of the world too.

The challenge was to ensure a COVID-19 vaccine was out of refrigeration for no longer than 48 hours over a 14-day period during the filling and packaging process. The solution in this case was implemented using the Uhlmann software platform Pexcite and relies on digital monitoring of the cold chain. This monitoring covers the entire process – from the moment the vaccine is delivered to the moment the final packaged ampoules reach the pallet.
