Serialization in the Production of Medicinal Products

As a manufacturer of prescription pharmaceuticals, Syntacoll relies on an individually tailored IT solution for serialization. The software product must meet current and future international serialization requirements.

Syntacoll faced the following challenges in particular:

• Central generation and management of serial numbers, including the required communication with the external partners involved
• Scalability and expansion to further countries
• Reliable connection to existing OCS lines
• Integration of a serialization solution into the existing IT environment
• Connecting the serialization solution to the existing GUS ERP system

The Arvato Corporate Serialization Database (Arvato CSDB for short) is set up to act as a link between the company’s ERP system, the systems that directly control production, and process-relevant external systems or organizations. It enables the management of production workflows with serialization and/or aggregation, including beyond company boundaries. Central communication with national verification systems and business partners is enabled via the Arvato CSDB gateway. 

More and more countries around the world are specifying statutory requirements for clearly labeling medication packaging, or are currently in the process of developing these. The main objective is to protect patients from falsified medication. Learn what this specifically entails for players in the pharmaceutical market.

Arvato Systems has already set up national verification systems for 17 countries, and successfully operates these today. Learn more about these national systems that review medication identity and authenticity to prevent falsified medicine from entering the legal supply chain.
