Aggregation Solutions

The Pineberry CartonTrac Serialization and Aggregation System for the pharmaceutical and packaging fulfillment industries.

The Pineberry CartonTrac Serialization and Aggregation System builds a parent-child relationship as products move through the packaging stages of the pharmaceutical supply chain.

Aggregation impacts serialization projects on the packaging lines, throughout manufacturers operations and the overall supply chain. In partnership with Adents Pharma Suite, the Pineberry CartonTrac Serialization and Aggregation System automatically combines individual serialized cartons and takes a picture of all the fixed and variable serialized track and trace data. 

Using robotics to band and case batches together, the Pineberry CartonTrac Serialization and Aggregation System prints and applies a label to the band/case with a serial number. As the cartons are combined, the serial number of the aggregated unit (parent) is associated with the multiple serial numbers of the individual cartons (child) contained within it, thus builds a parent-child relationship as products move through the packaging stages of the pharmaceutical supply chain.

Manufacturers, wholesale distributors, repackagers and pharmaceutical supply chains inherit the most benefits facing significant packaging line upgrades to meet the current and emerging regulations compliant with the USA FDA Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). Putting aggregation in place offers operational benefits, like inventory management. With serialization, wholesalers are able to identify inventory down to a specific unit and track it internally. With aggregation, they could do that for both opened and sealed cases as well. It greatly simplifies cycle counting, which wholesalers periodically do to check their physical inventory against what their system thinks they have. Aggregation allows them to scan just the sealed case and instantly know the identities of all the individual units.

Compact Erect Carton Serialization

The Pineberry Compact EC—Erect Carton Serialization Solution produces superior print quality and verifies with a tamper proof in-line reader. Erected cartons are controlled throughout the print window guided for the various print technologies to print with pristine accuracy. The vacuum transport utilizes a fan-based technology dramatically reducing noise level of a single pump or blower. The Pineberry Compact CartonTrac EC integrates to any production line for further processing within the facility.

With new technology and laws & regulations entering the pharmaceutical industry, Pineberry Manufacturing Inc. is your one-stop-shop for all your pharmaceutical distribution and supply chain needs. Our Pharmaceutical Packing & Serialization Solutions are inline and meet the guidelines of the Drug Quality & Security Act (DQSA), and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA).

Compact Flat Carton Serialization

The Compact CartonTrac FC – Flat Carton Packaging and Serialization Solution has a small footprint (measuring 59.50 inches long by 32.56 inches wide), designed for complex coding and high resolution thermal inkjet printing requirements for packaging and pharmaceutical serialization and track & trace information. Flat cartons are placed on the Pineberry HSF 12 Friction Feeder and are dispensed as single products on a vacuum conveyor. The products are transported through the feeder exit, and prints variable serialized data onto flat cartons. The integrated camera system verifies the data.

Serialization requires a comprehensive system to track and trace the passage of prescription drugs and pharmaceutical products throughout the entire distribution and supply chain.  Serialization is able to identify every product’s serial number, origin, shelf life and batch number; tracing the products life cycle from production, through distribution to patient.  With a reliable 1D or 2D barcode reader, pharmaceutical products and packages can be verified to ensure 100% accuracy.  Pineberry manufactured its pharmaceutical and packaging serialization machinery systems so they are modular and can act as leaflet verification systems as well; saving customer’s from purchasing two separate machines

The CartonTrac Serialization Systems manufactured by Pineberry Manufacturing Inc. produce the cleanest codes on the market. Verified with an in-line reader and cannot be tampered with, pharmaceutical and packaging cartons are controlled with precision under the laser providing codes that are superior to inkjet, with zero printing consumables or downtime.  Pineberry Manufacturing Inc.’s serialization and track & trace systems aim to help fight the immense market of counterfeit products and to enhance consumer safety in accordance with legislations, such as the Drug Quality & Security Act (DQSA) and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA).

Flat Carton Serialization

Product is placed on the Pineberry HSF 12 Friction Feeder and is dispensed as a single product from the product stack. The product is transported through the feeder exit, and will print variable data onto the product. As products exit the feeder the camera system will verify the data and then exits onto the integrated CartonTrac FC—Flat Carton Serialization Solution.
