arvato Systems serialization solution on the road to national and international success

arvato Systems, an IT specialist in the healthcare industry, will be using a live system to demonstrate its serialization solution "arvato CSDB" (Corporate Serialization Database) in conjunction with machinery provided by OCS Checkweighers, specialists in weighing and inspection technology. This IT platform universally covers all serialization numbering for pharmaceutical manufacturers at both corporate and site level (levels 3 and 4), from production and administration to communication with production lines to reporting to national authorities.

Following the completion of a successful pilot project in Germany as part of the securPharm initiative, the European Medicines Verification Organization (EMVO) has named arvato Systems as an official service provider. This means arvato Systems can officially provide European countries with a so-called "National Blueprint Service" for the verification of pharmaceutical products.

How will serialization data be managed?

Answers to this question as well as expert information regarding the development of a valid management structure will be provided by Peter Koop (Director Solutions Management, arvato Systems) in his keynote speech "Key Success Factors for the Successful Management of Serialization Data" on 22 July at 3:55pm.
