For several years, the implementation of Serialization and Track & Trace was driven by regulatory bodies to increase patient safety and manufacturers invested millions to enhance their systems. Despite regulatory driven projects, more and more market-demands are upcoming to cover the needs of our customers. For instance, the EU-FMD legislation leads to a high decommissioning workload for hospital pharmacies.

Fresenius Kabi started a pilot-project together with four customers to establish a web-portal solution based on GS1-standards. The system enables our customers to receive aggregation information and to perform an effective mass-decommissioning. However, despite market demands, manufactures will increasingly focus on process efficiency in production and supply chain.
