Serialization or Track&Trace is one of the key-topics in the Pharmaceutical supply chain today. In an effort to standardize communication between enterprise systems, site and line servers and the printers and scanners which is required to make serialization work, the Open-SCS group has been formed. In a webinar Charlie Gifford, Executive Director of the Open-SCS, discusses how the Open Serialization Communication Standard Working Group’s (Open-SCS) was specifically formed to address the lack of compliance standardization for healthcare packaging
serialization regulations. The Open-SCS is focused on accelerating compliance to the global healthcare counterfeiting regulations. The industry urgency is explained for immediate development of standard inter-plant serialization solutions to accelerate deployment and lower
the high cost of available compliance systems. So please consider this webinar:
