Labeling of pharmaceutical raw materials and medicines
Labeling of pharmaceutical raw materials and medicines
From December 29, 2023 to December 31, 2024, Chestniy Znak invites you to become a participant in the experiment – labeling of pharmaceutical raw materials and medicines!
The list of products participating in the experiment is very large: from menthol to glands and other organs intended for organotherapy.
Labeling of pharmaceutical raw materials and medicines using Chestniy Znak includes several stages:
Labeling of pharmaceutical raw materials and medicines
Registration of the manufacturer or importer in the system
Obtaining a unique identification number for each product
Printing labels with information about the product and its unique identification number
Applying labels to product packaging
Scanning the product
Tracking the movement of goods from the manufacturer to the end consumer through the Chestniy Znak system
Such a labeling system ensures transparency and quality control of products throughout their entire life cycle, which is especially important for the pharmaceutical industry.
Product labeling is divided into two solutions – automatic and manual systems.
Automatic systems allow you to fully automate the process of applying labeling , reading codes, monitoring, etc. They are designed for high-performance lines.
Manual systems are the easiest solutions that allow you to use a computer, a hand-held scanner or an automatic scanning device with manual product feed and software to perform labeling, monitoring and subsequent entry of information into the database.
Technological process as applied to production
List of control objects
The product accounting system is designed for piece-by-piece quantitative accounting of manufactured products, accounting of products in boxes and pallets. The following objects and procedures are subject to accounting:
single product packages;
packages in boxes (boxes);
boxes in pallets.
Single-piece production zone
When a product passes through the single-piece production zone, the following process operations are performed:
application of a DataMatrix code to the package using a laser printer;
control of the application of the DataMatrix code using a verification scanner;
emergency stop of the line in case of multiple DataMatrix code verification errors.
Box formation zone
The following process operations are performed in the box formation zone:
placing several packages into one box;
reading DataMatrix codes of all packages in one box;
control of the read DataMatrix codes of all packages in the box;
formation of a label with a DataMatrix code for the box in the software;
sending a job to print the label to the thermal transfer printer;
aggregation of the printed DataMatrix code of the box with the DataMatrix codes of the packages;
rejection of boxes with errors in reading or checking the DataMatrix codes of the packages.
Pallet formation zone
The following process operations take place in the pallet formation zone:
adding DataMatrix codes of boxes to the list of the pallet being formed;
placing boxes on a pallet;
generating a label for a pallet in the software;
sending a job to print a label with a pallet code to a thermal transfer printer;
aggregation of DataMatrix codes of boxes and the printed pallet code.
human-machine interface with different access levels.
Labeling of pharmaceutical raw materials and medicines. Main functions of the system
Obtaining codes;
Transferring DataMatrix codes of packages to the printer;
Applying DataMatrix code to the package;
Monitoring the application of DataMatrix code to the package;
Emergency stop of the line upon detection of packages with unreadable codes;
Reading DataMatrix codes of packages from a box;
Generating a DataMatrix code and accompanying human-readable information on the box label;
Reading the DataMatrix code of the box applied to the label;
Linking the DataMatrix code of the box with the DataMatrix codes of the packages placed in this box;
Rejection of boxes with unreadable DataMatrix codes of the packages;
Rejection of boxes in case of discrepancy between the DataMatrix codes of the packages and the codes received from the IS;
Monitoring the compliance of the number of boxes in the pallet with the specified recipe value;
Generation of the code and accompanying human-readable information on the pallet label;
Reading the code of the pallet applied to the label;
Linking the pallet code with the DataMatrix codes of the boxes included in this pallet;
Possibility to determine the cause of the defect and inform the line operator to perform regulated actions;
Maintaining a database with the ability to obtain statistical reports (all actions and events);
Formation and storage of an archive of recipes for the process line with the ability to select the current one;
Formation of report files with any given structure with the ability to transfer over the network;
