TraceLink and Optel Vision Collaborate for End-to-End Pharmaceutical Serialization, ePedigree and Global Track & Trace Solution
Wakefield MA, Quebec City Qc (PRWEB) November 11, 2013 -- TraceLink Inc., the leader in global pharmaceutical track and trace and supply network performance solutions, and Optel Vision, world track and trace solution provider, today announced a collaboration to deliver integrated serialization, ePedigree and traceability solutions for the global pharmaceutical supply chain. Working together, TraceLink and Optel Vision enable pharmaceutical companies and CMO/CPO supply partners to confidently meet all global track and trace regulations from the H.R. 3204 Drug Quality and Security Act and California ePedigree to China, Argentina, Brazil and other global serialization requirements.
The TraceLink Life Sciences Cloud’s global track and trace platform, integrated with Optel Vision’s TrackSafeTM LineMasterTM packaging and line management systems, enables end-to-end control of serialization activities from packaging line to enterprise and supply network coupled with integrated management of ePedigree and traceability reporting requirements.
Pharmaceutical companies and external supply partners benefit with:
• Centralized serialization information management from serial number provisioning to serial number usage as products are packaged and distributed across diverse regulatory environments
• Full serialized operations and inventory management for commissioning, aggregation, rework, exception processing and other activities from packaging line to warehouse and distribution center
• Integrated, seamless connectivity between track and trace solutions for ePedigree, supply chain traceability and government reporting solutions at the network level with serialization activities at the line, site and enterprise level
“Serialization is now a global compliance requirement, driving companies to think differently about their supply chain networks, business processes and IT architectures,” said Shabbir Dahod, President and CEO of TraceLink. “Diverse track and trace regulations across dozens of countries will impact 75 percent of the global drug supply by 2017, requiring the establishment of a serialization and traceability control tower that delivers the global visibility and flexible data exchange needed at all levels from line to network. We are excited to partner with a noted packaging and serialization leader like Optel Vision to deliver a comprehensive track and trace solution that reduces risk and decreases time-to-compliance.”
“The relationship between Optel Vision and Tracelink brings a robust solution that works seamlessly between each other from the packaging line up to the supply chain. This association is a leading step in our continuous efforts to help the pharmaceutical industry and distributors to improve patient safety and comply with the actual and upcoming regulations,” said Louis Roy, President of Optel Vision.
Diversified pharmaceutical companies, virtual biopharmas and contract packaging sites using Optel Vision’s extensive packaging line solutions will gain plug-and-play integration to the TraceLink Life Sciences Cloud through standardized connectors for serial number exchange, serialization event management and traceability reporting. The combined global compliance platform eliminates the risk of extensive software customization, the cost of point-to-point network integration and the ongoing transaction fees created by traditional serialization and traceability approaches.
