GS1 DataMatrix or QR encoding
Thermal inkjet and laser coder integration
Secure code vaulting and duplicate prevention
Print queue control based on running batch
Vision Verification & Rejection
Automatically verify code readability, position, contrast and human-readable information before products leave the packing line.

Key Capabilities:

ISO 15415 and ISO 15416 grading support
Automatic rejection and confirmation sensors
Human-readable text verification
Print quality trend analysis
Consumer Scan & Authentication
Provide consumers, chemists and other authorized users with a mobile response containing relevant product and batch information.

Key Capabilities:

Mobile response without app installation
Scan geography and frequency analytics
Duplicate scan detection
Recall and expiry warnings

Technologies That Power Our Solutions

Select coding, vision, code management and enterprise integration technologies based on substrate, production speed and pharmaceutical packaging requirements.

Thermal Inkjet & Laser Coding
Printing technology is selected according to substrate, line speed, print area and permanence requirements.

Applications:

Carton coding Foil marking Label printing Variable data printing
Machine Vision Grading
Industrial cameras verify the presence, position, contrast and quality of each printed code at production speed.

Applications:

Code grading Human-readable OCR Reject verification Print trend analysis
Code Generation & Vaulting
A controlled repository manages code issuance, allocation, lifecycle and retirement while helping prevent duplicate identifiers.

Applications:

Code issuance Status lifecycle Batch allocation Duplicate prevention
ERP & Artwork System Interfaces
Connect product, batch, expiry and artwork information with enterprise systems to reduce manual data entry.

Applications:

SAP and Oracle sync Batch data feed Artwork version control Label templates

Industry Success Stories

Representative solution scenarios for pharmaceutical companies implementing QR coding across Indian packaging and distribution operations.

Top-Brand Formulation Companies
Companies whose products require QR coding can integrate coding and verification directly into their existing packaging lines.

Potential Outcomes:

Coding across notified brand SKUs
Reduced manual artwork and data checking
Improved print quality and verification
API & Bulk Drug Manufacturers
QR coding can be designed for drums, bags and intermediate containers with data integration and traceability.

Potential Outcomes:

QR coding across dispatched containers
Fewer dispatch documentation errors
Faster container-level traceability
Contract Packers Serving Multiple Brands
Shared production lines can support different brand owners, data formats and consumer landing responses.

Potential Outcomes:

Multiple brand data formats
Controlled changeover between formats
Automated reconciliation reporting

Key Performance Indicators

The measures a QA head, a packaging development head and a regulatory affairs lead want evidence for. Targets are design goals agreed in writing.

Consumer Phone Read Rate
Share of printed codes scanning first time on an ordinary smartphone camera.

Target: >99%

How we get there: Achieved by grading against consumer decode thresholds, not industrial scanner limits alone.
Data Field Accuracy
Match between encoded data fields and the authoritative ERP and artwork records.

Target: 100%

How we get there: Enforced by live ERP sourcing and blocking manual entry of prescribed fields.
Print Reject Rate
Packs rejected at the vision station for unreadable, misplaced or poorly graded codes.

Target: <0.5% of packs

How we get there: Reduced through substrate trials, print head selection and print position optimisation before go-live.
Line Speed Impact
Output reduction caused by adding coding and verification to an existing packing line.

Target: <3%

How we get there: Contained by inline integration and pre-installation trials on your fastest running SKU.

How We Deliver

Coding is introduced line by line so production output remains protected while compliance and verification capabilities are implemented.

1

Requirement Study & Artwork Assessment

Review notified products, artwork files, available print areas and the location of prescribed data fields within your enterprise systems.

2

Solution Design & Coder Selection

Conduct substrate trials, select the appropriate coder and camera, define code size and position and document integrations.

3

Pilot on One Packing Line

Run live coding against agreed quality, read-rate and throughput criteria using your actual cartons, foil and labels.

4

Rollout, Qualification & Support

Commission remaining lines, prepare qualification documentation and move the system into ongoing support and maintenance.

Why Choose Our Medicine QR Code Labelling System?

Engineer Rule 39AA coding directly into your packaging operation rather than adding an isolated print module.

Regulation Read Line by Line

We map prescribed data requirements into the actual coding and verification workflow.

Substrate Testing Before Purchase

Test foil, board and label materials with candidate printers before hardware procurement.

One Team For Line & Cloud

Coding hardware, vision, code vaulting and consumer response can be integrated by one engineering team.

Built For Inspection Day

Audit trails, electronic signatures, access control and retention requirements can be included in the system design.

Get Rule 39AA Running On Your Lines

Book a requirement discussion with our engineering team. We can review your product list, artwork constraints and line layout and define a practical coding and verification approach.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

It is a machine-readable barcode or QR code required under Rule 39AA of the Drugs Rules for notified medicines. The prescribed information can include the unique product identification code, generic and brand name, manufacturer details, batch number and expiry dates.

Yes. The solution is designed around your existing packing lines, artwork constraints, print area, line speed and enterprise systems. The implementation starts with a requirement study before coder, camera and integration requirements are finalized.

The appropriate coding location depends on the product format, available print area, artwork and applicable requirements. Primary and secondary packaging options can be assessed SKU by SKU during the artwork and line assessment.

Yes. The solution can integrate with systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Navision and Tally so that batch, manufacturing and expiry information can be sourced directly rather than manually entered at the production line.

Thermal inkjet and laser coders, industrial vision cameras, lighting systems, sensors and automatic rejection mechanisms can be integrated based on the substrate, print area, required code quality and production line speed.

Yes. Code generation, vaulting and line-control functions can be deployed on-premise. A hybrid architecture can also be used where the consumer-facing scan response is hosted through a public endpoint.

A single-line pilot can typically be planned within approximately eight to twelve weeks after requirements are finalized, depending on hardware lead times, artwork revisions, integration complexity and the customer validation process.

Packaging artwork may need revision to reserve the required code area, quiet zone, contrast and fixed print position. These requirements are assessed during the artwork and packaging-line study.

Yes. A controlled code repository can maintain code lifecycle status, allocation and retirement records, helping prevent duplicate identifiers and enabling traceability of codes across batches.

Post-go-live support can include preventive maintenance, software updates, coder and camera support, consumables planning, incident response, regulatory data-format changes and an agreed annual maintenance arrangement.
