Keeping track of things – products, goods, raw materials, or even ourselves – has become crucial. This is where the concept of Track & Trace emerges, weaving a digital thread through the intricate web of movement and information. But what exactly is it, and why does it matter?

Let us deep dive into the world of TnT (track & trace).

Decoding the Basics of Track and Trace

Track & Trace is a system that enables the monitoring and recording of the location and status of individual items or assets throughout their supply chain.

It’s like a detailed map, constantly plotting the journey of these objects, from raw materials and production lines to store shelves and, ultimately, into the hands of consumers.

This intricate dance wouldn’t be possible without a powerful combination of technologies:

• Unique Identifiers: Every item tagged for tracking receives a unique identifier (UID); the UID is a unique serial number in the form of a barcode or QR code. This acts as its fingerprint, allowing it to be recognized and distinguished throughout its journey at multiple levels of production & packaging.
• Data Capture Devices: Barcode scanners, Vision Cameras, and even smartphones with scanning apps become the watchful eyes, capturing information about the item’s location and status at various points.
• Software Solutions: The captured data needs a home, and this comes in the form of software platforms that collect, store, and analyze the information. They provide real-time insights and generate reports, enabling stakeholders to keep a finger on the pulse of their assets.

Multiple Forms of Track & Trace

While the basic principles remain the same, Track & Trace takes on different forms depending on the context:

• Manufacturing & Product Safety: Each component of a car, every tablet in a prescription bottle, can be tracked from origin to destination. This allows for efficient recall of defective products, ensuring consumer safety and building trust in brands.
• Logistics & Supply Chain: Imagine a package zipping across continents. Track & Trace lets you know where it is, whether it’s stuck in customs or happily cruising towards your doorstep. It streamlines delivery, optimizes inventory management, and enhances customer satisfaction.
• Anti-Counterfeiting: Protecting intellectual property and fighting counterfeit goods is another battlefield for Track & Trace. Unique identifiers and secure databases help verify the authenticity of products, safeguarding consumers from imitation and ensuring brand protection.

The UK pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry is facing increasing challenges in ensuring the quality, safety, and authenticity of its products.

The UK has left the EU and is no longer part of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

This means that the UK has its own regulatory framework and standards for medicines and chemicals, which may differ from those of the EU or other countries12.

One of the key requirements for the UK market is to implement a track and trace system for medicines and chemicals, which is also known as serialization and verification.

This system involves assigning a unique identifier (UI) to each product unit, such as a pack, bottle, or vial, and recording its movement along the supply chain.

The UI can be a barcode, a QR code, a data matrix, or a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag. The UI contains information such as the product name, batch number, expiry date, serial number, and origin3.

The track and trace system aims to prevent counterfeit, falsified, or substandard products from entering the market, as well as to facilitate product recalls, audits, and investigations.

The system also helps to protect the reputation and integrity of the manufacturers and distributors, as well as to ensure patient safety and consumer confidence3.

However, implementing a track and trace system can be complex and costly for the industry. It requires a high level of coordination and collaboration among various stakeholders, such as manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, pharmacies, hospitals, regulators, and customers.

It also requires a robust and reliable technology platform that can generate, capture, store, transmit, and verify the UI data in real time3.
