Pharmaceutical track & trace
Build dependable parent-child aggregation from pack to pallet
Oxford Vision Systems integrates cameras, controls and data handling to associate serialised saleable units with bundles, cases and pallets. Each aggregation step is designed around reliable code capture, controlled exceptions and auditable data exchange.
Application focus
Maintain data integrity through every packaging level
At each station, the system reads the child codes in the group, confirms count and status, and creates the relationship with the parent identifier. Failed reads, duplicates, uncommissioned serials or count mismatches are held for controlled resolution rather than silently entering the hierarchy.
Projects can cover manual aggregation benches, semi-automatic case stations and fully automatic line integration. We agree interfaces, user roles, electronic records, rework logic and validation documentation around your pharmaceutical quality system.
Designed around the risk
What the system helps you achieve
Control aggregation exceptions
Support traceability workflows
Scale from manual to automatic
A proven project route
From sample to a production-ready inspection
We define the pass criteria first, prove the imaging and data logic, then integrate the complete inspection and reject sequence.
Application review
Product, code, substrate, speed, line layout and data requirements.
Sample trials
Optics, lighting, resolution and achievable tolerance tested on real packs.
System integration
Camera, controls, guarding, reject and upstream interfaces engineered together.
Commissioning
Recipes, fault handling, training and agreed acceptance tests completed.
Common questions
What manufacturers ask us
Every line is different. These are the practical questions that shape a dependable barcode verification project.
Ask an engineerWhat packaging levels can be aggregated?+
Typical levels include unit, bundle, case and pallet. The required hierarchy and data exchange are defined for the customer’s process.
Can you handle manual case packing?+
Yes. Camera-assisted manual stations can guide the operator, verify each group and create the parent-child relationship before label release.
Do you provide validation support?+
We can provide project documentation and support agreed testing activities. The exact scope, including IQ/OQ support where requested, is defined in the proposal.
