Serialization & Aggregation
Serialization in the pharmaceutical industry refers to the process of assigning a unique serial number to each individual saleable unit of a drug product, such as a bottle, vial, or blister pack. This unique identifier is typically encoded in a barcode or RFID tag on the packaging.
Aggregation in the pharmaceutical industry refers to the process of establishing a hierarchical relationship between uniquely serialized packaging levels. Each saleable unit (e.g., bottle or carton) is assigned a unique serial number. When multiple units are grouped into a larger container, such as a bundle, case, or pallet, that outer package also receives its own unique serial number.
Technico Seralization and Aggregation Machines
Through Serialization and Aggregation, every single unit can be uniquely identified and tracked throughout the entire supply chain, from manufacturing to distribution and finally to the end customer. This enables enhanced traceability and helps prevent counterfeit or diverted products from entering the market. Technico Pharmaceutical Engineering will provide you with any kind of serialization or aggregation machine you desire. We also make all kind of peripherals to connect with these machines Serialisation peripherals .
If we don't have it, we can engineer it for you. Check out our engineering page.
Benefits of Aggregation
-
End-to-End Traceability: Enables precise tracking of products across all packaging levels throughout the supply chain.
-
Streamlined Recalls: Facilitates rapid identification and retrieval of affected units.
-
Anti-Counterfeiting: Reinforces supply chain integrity by verifying authenticity at every stage.
-
Regulatory Alignment: Supports compliance with serialization and traceability regulations such as EU FMD and U.S. DSCSA.
Aggregation plays a critical role in pharmaceutical serialization strategies, providing the infrastructure needed for secure product tracking, efficient logistics, and regulatory compliance.
