September 11, 2007 - Pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma L.P. has implemented a serialized product tracking (SPT) application to provide the key infrastructure needed to expand GEN 2 radio frequency identification (RFID) tagging of its OxyContin tablets.
Purdue is using Systech International's SPT software to verify product authenticity throughout the pharmaceutical supply chain. Purdue installed SPT application in its Wilson, NC facility. Systech SPT appealed to Purdue and its need for an integrated solution to expand the number of product SKUs actively tagged, while ensuring the efficiency of its packaging and shipping operations. The initial project, now a fully operational deployment, provides Purdue with a scalable, sustainable and repeatable infrastructure to address those needs. The infrastructure now in place offers item-level serialization, case aggregation, and an interface to the SAP AII EPCIS.
