Actions against the counterfeiting of important products, as our medicines, involve a long-standing and complex battle that each country tackles directly based on its down market, on the types of companies working there and on its own culture. The final goal is however always the same for all: the need to create a sort of “pedigree” for pharmaceuticals, or, in other words, a virtual memory of each phase of the production and packaging process, from batching through to pallet closure, in order to monitor each single step. This is the only way to guarantee maximum security of the quality of the pharmaceuticals sold and used each day by millions of Europeans.
These are hot topics for pharmaceutical industrialists and they will be discussed on January 29th at the congress centre Skogshem & Wijkdi in Lidingö, this location in central Sweden has been chosen by the journalist of the Nordic Journal of Chemistry&Biotechnology Maria Eriksson for a seminar entitled Are we on Track. There will be 150 guests at the one-day forum, among which some of the top experts of the sector.
There will be workshops to talk about Track & Trace and Serialisation standards, as well as the technologies used by packaging companies to monitor the chain of the product’s value with the aim to pinpoint a mutual line to follow so that European Pharmaceutical traceability may become as uniform as possible.
One of the speakers on the agenda will be Elena Stupatska, the product manager of Neri, a branch of the Marchesini Group that specialises in manufacturing packaging machines capable of applying vignettes on the upper face, tamper evident labels on the closure points, printing and verifying 2D code and human readable texts on all the faces of a wide array of products of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.
A discussion entitled “In the world of directives, vision cameras, printers and dot matrix bits: Why do we need good machines to achieve track and trace performance?” will offer an opportunity to explain why it takes long-standing reliability and modern business strategies to create good packaging machines, in addition to the capability to create personalised machines for customers, based on their country and on local legal specifications envisaged to guarantee pharmaceutical traceability – as already explained to international guests during the Track & Trace seminar held at Marchesini in Pianoro.
The seminar will be moderated by Torkel Gren, Sales Director and Project Manager at Recipharm Pharmaceutical Development AB. You can put your name down for this event until January 27th.
