The MeditraQ: Centre of Excellence was created following work that was completed for the EU Bridge WP6 Track and Trace trial.
Domino subsequently added completely new Control software,
which along with additional hardware, established a true
Track and Trace technology showcase at the Tjoapack
pharmaceutical packaging plant; fully validated
to all known global and national standards.
This is not a pilot or trial, the line
produces unit dose blisters
and packs them into cartons,
cases and on to pallets.

World’s First Truly Integrated Pharmaceutical Line with
6 levels of Packaging Identification down to Blister Pouch.

Working with Control Software (now part of Domino Printing Sciences) and Domino, Tjoapack has developed the
MeditraQ: Centre of Excellence that now has the capability
to acquire (generate, take from ERP or other source) and manage, input, output and store data at high speed and to
a high level of complexity. Not only can the system print a unique Data Matrix on each blister pouch, it can also print human readable text (up to four lines has been tested) that include Expiry Date and Lot Number and could include GTIN, National Pharmaceutical Product Code and unique serial number if required on the pouch.

The individual Data Matrix codes on the blister are then read, checked for content and the information is recorded to a database once it has been verified as correct. Multiple reads are taken analysed, checked and either passed or rejected at line speed on individual blister pouches. This information can then be aggregated to item level pack, whether a single blister or multiple blisters are being inserted. Any unread, misread or unknown codes will be rejected and the event recorded to meet the most stringent pharmaceutical regulations such as 21 CFR Part11.

To prove the comprehensive nature of the production line at the MeditraQ: Centre of Excellence production line the process uses complex data allocation, code application and verification at blister pouch, blister strip, item, bundle, case and pallets levels. But this has not simply being achieved using 2-D codes such as Data Matrix at a number of levels, the system also prints human readable (alpha-numeric) codes, and at case and pallet level it also prints linear bar codes (EAN 128) and can write data to an RFID tags that can be encapsulated into the labels that are used. Again this allows for the maximum flexibility and interoperability right along the production line. At this point all codes that are printed or written to RFID tags are the same but there is no reason (for additional security purposes) why different code carriers such as RFID tags, linear and 2-D bar codes do not contain unique and different data that is also linked and aggregated by the system.
