MicroVention Improves Total Production Efficiency 50%

Enterprise-level label management system integrates with MicroVention’s ERP system to streamline global labeling process.

MicroVention is a Tustin, CA-based medical device company and wholly owned subsidiary of Terumo Corp. MicroVention is a leading global developer, manufacturer and marketer of neuroendovascular technologies such as intraluminal stents, occlusion balloons and polymer coils. It operates facilities in California, Costa Rica and China. The company is experiencing rapid growth, fueled by product demand and expanded distribution in key international markets.

To date, MicroVention leveraged a barcode label design solution called LABELVIEW, from TEKLYNX, to design and print labels. However, the recent growth caused MicroVention to re-evaluate its labeling operations in favor of gaining efficiencies across all facilities.

“We reached a point in our growth where we needed a labeling solution that was available over our network, not stored on each individual computer,” explains Frank Carranza, MicroVention Associate Label Engineer. “I immediately thought of TEKLYNX, given my past experience with TEKLYNX’ enterprise-level barcode labeling solution, TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR, at a previous employer.”

For MicroVention, the upgrade to enterprise-level labeling—that integrates with its Enterprise Recourse Planning (ERP) System—positions the company to streamline labeling operations globally while addressing the need to:

• Adequately support a global and secure, multi-user environment with more than 50 different employees in four different facilities requiring access and print desired labels.

• Efficiently support a leanly staffed label design environment, with employees responsible for designing and managing labels for at least 2,000 different SKUs.

• Provide bandwidth for future growth since operating in a rapidly growing industry means MicroVention must have a labeling solution that grows with them over time.

• Comply with medical device manufacturer labeling regulations such as those required by the FDA’s Unique Device Identification (UDI) requirements.

Security and access

In addition to these unique labeling challenges, MicroVention’s global presence required it to be mindful of security and accessibility issues related to the company’s data center. “We have thousands of global installations and know that security and access is top of mind for companies,” says Cory Catterall, TEKLYNX Enterprise Sales Executive. “We were confident our enterprise-level barcode labeling could meet MicroVention’s labeling requirements while providing secure access and sophisticated user profile control.”

The TEKLYNX Enterprise Team collaborated with MicroVention to determine that the browser-based, integrated enterprise label management system, TEKLYNX CENTRAL CFR, was scalable and efficient for managing the different facilities, including those outside of the U.S., while providing the bandwidth for future growth.
