Tris Pharma, a specialty pharma company that develops and manufactures OTC and Rx branded and generic products, has chosen Adents software to help assure compliance with upcoming U.S. serialization deadlines.   
 
For the new venture, Tris Pharma has designated a centralized serialization room servicing packaging lines as well as rework stations.  The dedicated serialization suite will provide track and trace solutions for customers including Pfizer, Vernalis, and Breckenridge.
 
The Adents serialization and aggregation suite of software enables companies to trace and document compliance, addressing both current and emerging regulations, and is designed to minimize impact on production processes and productivity. 
 
The dedicated serialization suite contains a Pineberry Flat Carton Mark & Verify unit for cartons, and a mark & verify labeler from Weiler Labeling Systems.  Both machines will employ laser marking, DataLase coatings, and Cognex smart cameras for inspection.
 
“One of the reasons we chose Adents is that its solution is both versatile and scalable,” said Brian Weiss, associate director of Engineering for Tris Pharma.  “The flexibility offered through Adents allows us to comply with the short-term serialization mandate while remaining adaptable for both future regulations and evolving business needs.”
 
Currently, each of the four Rx packaging lines serviced by the serialization suite has two aggregation stations, for manual unit-to-case aggregation and manual case-to-pallet aggregation, respectively. Products from Tris Pharma are typically shipped as whole batches to customers and third-party logistics providers. 
 
“We are so pleased Tris Pharma will be using Adents serialization software to help it comply with serialization deadlines,” said Christophe Devins, chief executive officer of Adents, “and are confident the company will quickly see evidence of the effectiveness, flexibility and ease-of-use of our modular software solution.”
