Pharmaceutical counterfeiting is a global challenge. Late last year it was announced that Barra Funda, Brazil-based Libbs Farmacêutica Ltda. was involved in a project aimed at addressing aggregation and track-and-trace requirements posed by the Agência National de Vigilância Sanitária Agency (ANVISA).

Aimed at addressing pharmaceutical security in Brazil, ANVISA regulations require packaging units to be marked with a serial number, product registration identification, GTIN, lot number, date of production, expiry date as well as a DataMatrix code encoded with these details, providing a trail of the unit through the logistics chain, from a single box to a pallet, including the companies involved.

Meeting track-and-trace requirements pose a challenge, both technically and logistically. It was announced in late 2014 that Libbs became involved in a pilot program with track-and-trace turnkey provider Rastreabilidade Brasil (RB), and track-and-trace software supplier Atlantic Zeiser. The project has been established to demonstrate the implementation of the ANVISA resolution.

Libbs has taken up this service for one of its packaging lines. In turn, RB engaged partners for the application at the packaging line and traceability, one of which is scanware electronic GmbH.

“RB was looking for a mark and verify solution for folding boxes on the packaging line. The scanware station, LYNX‐CAPA MV, has been chosen for marking and verification due to its flexible construction and usability,” says Andreas Jamin, who supervised the project at scanware.
