Product AuthenticationSRC Technologies, Inc.

Comprehensive tracking involves cataloguing information on

all

of the different ingredients that make up an individual drug unit (e.g., pill or capsule) throughout the manufacturing process.Slide20

VerificationSRC Technologies, Inc.

Once manufactured, individual drug dosages must be packaged in verifiable lots for shipping and delivery.Slide21

The key to ensuring the quality, integrity and availability of health care goods is the ability to track and trace individual items throughout their complete life-cycle from manufacturing to disposal.

The Auto-ID technology and information infrastructure will change the management and distribution of pharmaceutical products within the health care industry by enabling item level product traceability functionality throughout the supply chain.

Automation: Auto ID TechnologySlide22

InteroperabilityThe GS1 Standard

GS1 is an international not-for-profit association dedicated to the design and implementation of global standards and solutions to improve the efficiency and visibility of supply and demand chains globally and across sectors and industries.
