Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Traceability


Pharmaceutical and medical products are required to be traceable throughout the entire supply chain. Zebra fixed industrial scanners automatically capture and track item data, such as printed or direct part marked (DPM) codes and batch/serial numbers, as pharmaceuticals and medical devices move along the production line and through the supply chain. Aurora Focus software acts as a unified platform for managing these scanners and cameras, simplifying their setup and deployment.

Ensure UDI, DPM, and label accuracy from line to patient with connected scanning, code grading, and OCR that's built for healthcare traceability

Streamline product tracking and enhance traceability

Zebra’s fixed industrial scanners provide a future-proof solution to meet evolving compliance and operational needs in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. These mounted systems read and record data from 1D and 2D codes to create an electronic "chain of custody" that enhances product safety and prevents counterfeiting. Automated scanning eliminates manual errors, improves speed, and supports high-volume production, while advanced algorithms enable the accurate decoding of even damaged or difficult-to-read codes.

Connect compliance data to your systems

Zebra Aurora Focus software enables users to customize output data, including UDI events and production identifiers like lot/batch, serial number, and expiration date, into the correct format. This formatted data can then be seamlessly integrated into platforms such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), and Warehouse Management System (WMS). Configurable rules route verified data to labeling, device history records, and required regulatory reporting. Real‑time dashboards highlight exceptions by line, shift, or site to speed root‑cause analysis. Configuration change control and audit logs maintain traceability for approvals and version history, building an auditable chain of custody without extra manual scans or spreadsheets.
