Serialization, Track & Trace for Enhanced Supply Chains
Key Takeaways
⇨ Serialization, tracking, and tracing enhance supply chain security and compliance, mitigating risks like counterfeiting and disruptions.
⇨ Emerging regulations necessitate robust digital tracking solutions to ensure safety and quality across diverse industries.
⇨ Digital supply chain solutions improve visibility, efficiency, and brand reputation by enabling real-time data sharing and traceability.
In today’s global marketplace, businesses face the critical need to ensure secure, compliant, and efficient movement of goods across their supply chains. Serialization, tracking, and tracing offer foundational solutions to address regulatory compliance and visibility challenges. These technologies transform supply chain processes by enhancing operations and ensuring the delivery of safe, quality products. Key challenges include complex regulations, data management, lifecycle visibility, supply chain disruptions, and counterfeit products.
Regulatory compliance is a major driver, with organizations like the WHO highlighting the significant impact of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. End-to-end traceability helps businesses detect counterfeiting, minimize damaged goods, and reduce product diversion. Emerging regulations, such as the GS1 Standard, DSCSA, FMD, FMSA, and Chestny ZNAK, underscore the importance of digital tracking and tracing for maintaining compliance and enhancing supply chain security.
Aggregation, which captures data hierarchies within supply chains, improves inventory management, streamlines recall processes, and facilitates compliance. Serialization and aggregation require rigorous control and standard guidelines, continuously evolving to meet increasing complexity.
