Track And Trace Helps To Detect Counterfeit Drugs

In-Sight Track and Trace, an add-on for In-Sight vision systems, is a data capture and verification solution that helps drug and medical-device manufacturers achieve unit-level product traceability. In-Sight Track and Trace combines powerful Cognex code-reading and verification software with a pre-configured job file and HMI interface. It reduces setup time and makes it easy to exchange data with third-party systems for a full serialisation solution.

'Track and trace solutions are becoming a high priority throughout the healthcare industry as a means of preventing counterfeit products from entering the supply chain and for keeping authentic products from being diverted to unauthorised distribution channels and uses,' said Bhaskar Banerjee, business-unit manager for vision systems at Cognex. 'In-Sight Track and Trace provides the industry's most reliable code reading and verification performance, and because it can be combined with a variety of third-party products, users have the flexibility to customise and scale their serialisation solutions to best suit their budgets and needs,' he added.

In-Sight Track and Trace is GS1 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11-ready and can be used with multiple networked In-Sight vision systems to: read 2D and 1D barcodes, including Data Matrix, GS1-128, GS1 Databar and Pharmacode; verify correct ID code contents, including compliance with the GS1 Healthcare data standard; grade Data Matrix codes during production to detect changes in print quality; verify the accuracy of printed text; and detect label misalignment and skew.

It also provides technical controls for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 validation, including secure user authentication and automatic audit-trail generation. In-Sight Track and Trace is easy to configure and operate using a simple touchscreen interface. Developers can integrate the Track and Trace interface into a PC-based HMI or custom application using the Cognex HMI Display Control for .NET. For a ready-to-deploy solution, In-Sight Track and Trace can also be controlled using the Cognex Visionview 700 Operator Interface panel or Visionview PC software.

Compact, all-in-one In-Sight vision systems are typically easier to integrate, maintain and validate for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance than PC-based vision systems. They are available in dozens of models to deliver the performance needed to meet the requirements of any application or packaging line.
