RxAuthentication Capabilities
Efficient Serialized Product Data Management
RxAuthentication provides companies with an extensive and efficient set of data management options for global serialization initiatives. These capabilities include:- Population of a company's data store with a rich set of product data tied to an EPC
- Capture of both the initial product transaction as well as any subsequent product transactions and movements, limited only by the visibility agreed upon with trading partners
- Management of the EPC state throughout the lifespan of the drug package
Secure Data Access Control
Secure access control is built into the authentication service on many levels to protect sensitive data. Each company enjoys its own securely segmented data storage. In addition, each company independently determines its own unique set of access rights and privileges that are granted to trading partners.Authentication Flexibility
RxAuthentication allows downstream trading partners an efficient means of verifying a package's serial number during receiving, inventory operations, shipping, or dispensing. Authentication process integration options include wholesale distribution center, pharmacy receiving, and pharmacy dispensing bench operations. Both programmatic and ad-hoc EPC authentication support a range of product handling processes.Streamlined Authentication
SupplyScape RxAuthentication allows wholesaler and pharmacy distribution centers processing cases or pallets to verify the EPCs encoded to the case and pallet tags. This "bulk authentication" streamlines receiving and authentication to pace with high speed velocity in the most advanced distribution centers. It enables verification of the case-level serial numbers allowing the sealed cases to remain intact.
Transaction Efficiency
RxAuthentication provides an optimized database access and response mechanism to minimize operational impacts and ensure rapid verification."For the first time, pharmacies and wholesalers have a quick and easy method for verifying that the serial number, or Electronic Product Code (EPC), on a drug package is authentic, and that it originated from the pharmaceutical manufacturer."Dan Walles, Director of Program Management, SupplyScape
This enables pharmaceutical companies to encode EPC serial numbers on RFID tags, affix the RFID tags to products on the packaging line, and provide EPC authentication services to wholesalers and pharmacies. As a result, manufacturers can address customer needs, comply with upcoming regulatory requirements, and lay a foundation for future strategic value.
Serialized Technology Integration to Increase Patient Safety
Pharmaceutical manufacturers looking to provide authentication services can serialize their drug products using a variety of RFID and barcode approaches that integrate with the SupplyScape solution.
