This report details the findings of a two-year research project aimed at determining the position of Track & Trace in the manufacturing landscape over the next few years. As pharmaceutical Track & Trace regulations become part of day to day life, manufacturers in other industries are taking notice. Industries without government regulations requiring any sort of serialization are beginning voluntary implementation of serialization technology into their production processes.
From our research, one thing is quite clear: serialization of products will grow. In some cases, it has already grown into an enormous undertaking outside of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Not only does it help to protect against counterfeit products entering the market, but it can also secure against grey market sales and help identify breakdowns in the supply chain.
METTLER TOLEDO conducted this study discussing Track & Trace with thirty-seven companies from all over the world, including manufacturers who are already using serialization due to legal requirements, companies who voluntarily use Track & Trace technology and those who do not currently have any serialization programs in place. Casting a wide net allowed us to get a clear view of what the future of serialization looks like. This report is full of important information and insights into the future of serialization, and includes:
- A discussion of the economic cost of product/brand piracy
- A brief description of serialization in the pharmaceutical industry
- A discussion of serialization activities in other industries
- Detailed responses to the survey questions as to Track & Trace's value, and the need for requirements for serialization
- How to get started with a serialization program
- Choosing a partner for a Track & Trace program
- Other serialization applications above and beyond the prevention of counterfeiting
- A closer look at profit losses caused by unauthorized production
- Use of falsified components or raw materials and how these can effect product quality and brand reputation
- How grey market and reimporting sales can damage profits and potentially damage brand loyalty
- The complete questionnaire, for reference

Track & Trace Solutions
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
Aggregate a wide range of products item-by-item in cases or pallets using up to 3 Smart Cameras. Industry proven, modular and compact components facilitate easy integration into various production lines or packaging machines.
T61 Integrated 360 Mark & Verify
Marking and verifying print quality on round packages using 6 image sensors to capture a full 360° view. Three types of verification are available: Presence, Quality, and Reference Check. Existing printers can easily be integrated.
T65 Integrated 360 Aggregation
Configuration of 6 image sensors achieves 360° view of round packages in-line for aggregation into secondary packaging (boxes, cases, pallets). Eliminates the need for extra equipment to inspect codes typically printed onto lids or caps.
PCE Line Manager - Mark & Verify
PLM Mark & Verify helps to prevent product recalls and maintains brand reputation by checking presence, reference, and quality of packaging and labeling. Multiple inspection options are available, e.g. code, label, blister, or text inspections.
PCE Line Manager - Aggregation
This software provides unified line control for every sensor, camera, printer, and code reader involved in the aggregation process. Adaptable to multiple aggregation scenarios, it simplifies supply chain management and warehouse prosesses.
PCE Line Manager - Direct
PLM Direct is the right software choice for serialization and aggregation running on a dedicated single production line. Data exchange with Level 3 and 4 systems is handled using standard XML formats, for easy integration into existing processes.
PCE Site Manager
Site-wide management of production lines, enabling data visibility of the entire Track and Trace process. The PSM further provides advanced connectivity to ERP or MES systems, expanding existing processes for inventory management or line control.
