Effective Serialization & Lot Traceability Solutions
Let TPI’s experts show you how to extend mobile track and trace applications with RFID and bar code systems to create a healthier supply chain.
Most manufacturers already track and trace incoming raw materials through storage and inventory to production and final product. However, few companies have visibility once the product leaves the plant. In a regulated industry, such as life sciences, this lack of traceability presents challenges. Challenges to patient safety, speedy recalls, efficient logistics, and streamlined inventory management.
There are several advanced data capture technologies for effective serialization/lot traceability – bar code, radio frequency identification (RFID). These present a compelling value proposition to those companies looking to extend track and trace outside there four walls of their enterprise. To deploy an effective track and trace solution, with the ability to capture, move and manage key information to and from the point of business activity is imperative. Combined with application-specific software, enterprise mobility systems offer a unique, secure way to track and trace manufactured products and devices – from production to distribution to dispensing.
