In the face of looming Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) regulations, many pharmaceutical manufacturers are looking for ways to begin or enhance their serialization efforts. Apace Packaging, a leader in OSD contract packaging, hosted a first-of-its-kind Serialization Event for healthcare professionals last Thursday in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The daylong event was created to help Apace’s customers develop their own serialized lines by gaining insight into how Track & Trace, warehouse, and IT solutions fit together to deliver a comprehensive solution. Attendees from many pharmaceutical companies, including Sandoz, Quinn and Qualitest, gathered for educational presentations from Oracle, ROC IT Solutions and Optel Vision, followed by an Apace plant tour to view the fully serialized packaginglines in action.

The morning began with a welcome from hosts Patrick Ferguson, General Manager at Apace, and Frank Guthrie, Director of Serialization & Operations. They gave an overview of the implementation process - from vendor selection and training to where they’ve found success - candidly discussing the challenges they faced. “Because not all products require serialization right now, we needed solutions that were flexible enough to accommodate full, partial or zero serialization,” Ferguson explained while discussing solution requirements, adding, “We also wanted established vendors that we could count on to call at 2 am for troubleshooting if the need was there.”
