Smart labels speed up the supply chain
Over the centuries, the complexity of the supply chain for pharmaceuticals has grown steadily. In addition to conventional labels, the label specialist Faubel also produces labels with (radio-frequency identification) RFID and e-paper technology or enhances its labels with temperature sensors or tamper-evident features. “These smart labels can save time and money as well as lead to improvements," says Frank Jäger, managing director at Faubel. The accessible data flow provided by smart labels leads to greater transparency.
“The pharmaceutical industry already uses temperature sensors or RFID tags, but it is limited to certain applications which only take one part of the supply chain into account without being holistically structured”, explains Jäger.
