Mettler Toledo Garvens launches advanced serialisation
solutions to provide pharmaceutical manufacturers
with total brand protection
To help pharmaceutical manufacturers protect
against counterfeiting and meet stringent regulations,
Mettler Toledo Garvens introduces two serialisation
solutions. The new XMV (Mark and Vision) is a
compact and complete serialisation system while
the XS2 MV (Mark and Vision) has serialisation
and checkweighing capabilities. These flexible
systems can be used by pharmaceutical manufacturers
to secure their production lines, protect their
brand reputations and avoid the costs associated
with counterfeiting.
As the US and Europe continually tighten regulations
to combat counterfeiting and misbranding of pharmaceutical
products, serialisation is playing an important
role. Consisting of assigning and placing a unique
marking on a primary package, serialisation provides
Track and Trace capabilities from the point of
packaging to the pharmacy or healthcare facility.
These unique codes are uploaded to an event repository
database that can be accessed by various parties,
including pharmacists, law enforcement officials
and even consumers after the product is shipped
and sold.
In its mission to help companies improve product
safety, Mettler Toledo Garvens has developed compact
serialisation systems that can be seamlessly integrated
into all production lines with minimum production
line reengineering. The two new systems provide
full traceability to meet global serialisation,
E-Pedigree and Track and Trace legal requirements,
and are equipped with user security access for
total control.
Both the XMV and XS2 MV are flexible enough to
fit the majority of production lines and can also
be tailored when a standard solution is not optimal.
Product transfer is very precise as the systems
are equipped with easily adjustable hand wheels
for highly accurate position control. The systems
can be adjusted for variable package dimensions
in seconds, reducing downtime for product changeover.
For further flexibility, Mettler Toledo Garvens
has designed the two systems to work with a multitude
of world-leading marking and vision inspection
systems and to operate at extremely high speeds
of up to 90m/min.
Very compact, the XMV only needs 850mm of floor
space and allows one-step integration into new
or existing production lines. Pharmaceutical manufacturers
that require checkweighing capabilities can use
the XS2 MV for accurate weighing, marking and
vision verification.
"Counterfeiting is a serious issue for pharmaceutical
companies worldwide. Mettler Toledo dedicated
resources to developing advanced marking and verification
solutions to help customers combat these challenges
and protect their reputations in a cost-effective
manner," said Frank Borrmann, project manager
for serialisation, Mettler Toledo Garvens.
Mettler Toledo Garvens' serialisation solutions
add to Mettler Toledo's product inspection portfolio,
which includes X-ray, metal detection and checkweighing
technologies.
