Werum IT Solutions has expanded its role in packaging serialization and aggregation, extending its independent Track & Trace solution with a connection to OCS Checkweighers equipment. Now PAS-X Track & Trace provides an adapter to OCS, as well as leading line controllers such as Antares Vision, Laetus, Optel Vision, Seidenader Maschinenbau, Systech, and Uhlmann.
 
The PAS-X Track & Trace helps industry comply with anti-counterfeiting requirements for drug products providing serialization and aggregation functionality for packaging processes and integrates the Enterprise Resource Planning and Global Repository with the shop floor packaging equipment and line controllers.
 
PAS-X Track & Trace comprises a database to store all serialization data so that a connection to a global external repository is not required. According to the company, this approach enables the serialization tree management in the entire manufacturing area, such as repackaging and rework.  
 
“As a leading supplier of manufacturing IT solutions for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, we also actively participate in the Open-SCS Working Group,” said Jürgen Laskowski, senior head of Global Projects III, Werum IT Solutions GmbH. “Our working group is a partner of the OPC Foundation. Our aim is to develop an open standard comprising the complete business transaction for the data exchange in packaging serialization in the healthcare industry.”
