Pharmaceutical Serialization and Track-and-Trace Systems

Custom Product and Packaging Automation
Pineberry Manufacturing designs and builds pharmaceutical serialization systems for manufacturers, repackagers, wholesale distributors, and packaging operations that need reliable carton coding, barcode verification, aggregation, and track-and-trace automation.

Our CartonTrac and Compact CartonTrac systems automate the printing, labeling, verification, and handling of serialized pharmaceutical cartons, including flat cartons, erected cartons, cardstock cartons, and cardboard cartons. Systems can be configured for date and lot coding, GS1 barcode printing, variable serialized data, in-line camera verification, leaflet or instruction manual insertion, labeling, aggregation, and integration with existing packaging lines.

Work with Pineberry to build a pharmaceutical track-and-trace automation solution around your carton format, compliance requirements, verification process, production speed, and available floor space.

CartonTrac Serialization System

The CartonTrac Serialization Systems manufactured by Pineberry Manufacturing Inc. produce the cleanest codes on the market. Verified with an in-line reader and cannot be tampered with, pharmaceutical and packaging cartons are controlled with precision under the laser providing codes that are superior to inkjet, with zero printing consumables or downtime.

CartonTrac Serialization and Aggregation System

The CartonTrac Serialization and Aggregation System automatically combines individual serialized cartons and records of all the fixed and variable serialized track and trace data.

Application

With our robotic systems, we are able to band and case batches together and follow up with a label application that has the serial number.

With this system in place, Manufacturers, wholesale distributors, repackaging companies and pharmaceutical supply chains inherit the most benefits facing significant packaging line upgrades as well as improvements in inventory management.

Compact Erect Carton Serialization System

Pineberry Compact EC

Our Erect Carton Serialization Solution produces superior print quality and verifies with a tamper proof in-line reader. Erected cartons are controlled throughout the print window guided for the various print technologies to print with pristine accuracy. The vacuum transport utilizes a fan-based technology dramatically reducing the noise level of a single pump or blower.

Application

Printing and labeling Serialization and Traceablity information onto cartons and other pharameutical products.

Options

Compact Flat Carton Serialization System

Compact CartonTrac FC

The Pineberry Compact CartonTrac FC is the ideal solution for companies with limited space while measuring 59.50 inches long by 32.56 inches wide this Flat Carton Packaging and Serialization Solution has a small footprint and designed for complex coding and high resolution thermal inkjet printing.

Applications

Flat cartons are placed on the Pineberry HSF 12 Friction Feeder and are dispensed as single products on a vacuum conveyor. The products are transported through the feeder exit, and print variable serialized data onto flat cartons. The integrated camera system verifies the data.

Options
Serialization requires a comprehensive system to track and trace the passage of prescription drugs and pharmaceutical products throughout the entire distribution and supply chain. Serialization is able to identify every product’s serial number, origin, shelf life and batch number; tracing the products life cycle from production, through distribution to patient.

Integration and Compliance

Integrates with existing pharmaceutical packaging lines via standard PLC/PC interface.
Pineberry’s serialization solutions comply with all regulatory requirements and frameworks
Camera capture logs and confirms each printed code before the unit proceeds.
Data handoff to serialization/line-management software
