Aggregation Solutions - White Paper |
This white paper looks at the aggregation process, which defines the track and trace data relationship between the parent and child. Aggregation makes tracing products through each step of the supply chain much simpler. This in turn means that should one of those individual products show up elsewhere, it has been either stolen or counterfeited.
Different methods of tracking products exist. Aggregating codes together allows for faster and easier tracking - each package no longer needs to be scanned at each stop as long as the aggregated code is scanned. This also increases process security, as larger containers can remain sealed until they reach their ultimate destination.
The white paper focuses on the following subjects:
- Counterfeit Goods Are on the Rise
- Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals
- Safety First – Safety Requires Rules and Expertise
- How to Implement Full Traceability with Aggregation
- Marking, Verifying, Safeguarding – From Cartons to
- Pallets
- Secure Storage of Production Data is Crucial
- Solutions – Maximum Possible Safety
- Performance – the Expert Partner for Track & Trace Systems
- Aggregation Outside the Pharmaceutical Industry
- Outlook – the World of Track & Trace is Evolving

Counterfeit Goods Are on the Rise
Counterfeiting and illicit trade are a growing problem. Customs authorities across the EU seized an estimated five million more counterfeit items in 2015 compared to the previous year, according to figures released by the European Commission in September 2016. More than 40 million products were detained by EU customs in 2015, with an estimated value of nearly US$650 million1.
Cigarettes remain the top category (27%) of goods detained, while food and beverages, toiletries, medicines, toys and household electrical goods account jointly for 25.8% of the total¹.
A report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reaffirms a number of trends that have been evident for more than a decade: almost all brands are being counterfeited, and counterfeit or pirated products originate from economies across all continents, with China remaining the largest producing economy. It also indicates counterfeiters are improving their logistics networks, manipulating transit routes, exploiting governance gaps and taking advantage of the growth in online shopping².

Track & Trace Solutions
T15 Manual Aggregation
Supports item-by-item manual aggregation of products into bundles, cases or pallets for compliance with Track and Trace labeling. The T15 is portable and therefore an ideal solution for rework on the production floor.
T16 Manual Multi Aggregation
Perform semi-automatic aggregation of serialized packages to a case and optionally to a pallet. Verify product codes and label artwork for additional quality control measures using a High-Resolution Camera.
T33 Automated Serialization
Compact serialization system for easy integration into production lines. Performs all functions for serialization, including the marking, recording, and verification of all serialization data.
T56 Integrated Multi Aggregation
Installs into existing or new case packers or palletizers for improved process efficiency allowing for the aggregation of multiple items in one step using a High Resolution Camera.
T63 Integrated 360 Serialization
Serialization using 6 image sensors to capture a 360° view of any round container such as bottles or vials. The compact design is optimized to fit over existing conveyors for minimal disruption to production lines.
PCE Line Manager - Serialization
This software offers global control, serving as the unified interface to help monitor and manage serialization. Pre-defined serialization scenarios simplify the production process.
T11 Manual Mark & Verify
This compact system prints and inspects labels using Smart or High-Resolution Camera technology. Faulty labels are detected and can be removed before they are applied to products, ensuring only correct labels are used.
T13 Manual Serialization
Designed to effectively serialize small batches or oversized products by manually sliding the product's carton along the print unit. A unique code is printed, verified, and serialized by a Smart Camera.
XMV TE
Integrates three applications into one compact serialization system. Printing, visual code verification, and secure tamper-evident sealing for compliance in global traceability.
T51 Integrated Mark & Verify
Marking and verifying print quality on product packaging with three verification types available: Presence, Quality, and Reference Check. Integrates directly on production lines or inside packaging machines, connecting easily with existing printers.
T53 Integrated Serialization
Serialize a wide range of oriented items, such as cartons, bundles, or labels using up to 4 smart cameras. Industry proven, modular and compact components facilitate easy integration into various production lines or packaging machines.
T55 Integrated Aggregation
