WIPOTEC-OCS, a manufacturer and supplier of precision in-motion weighing and X-Ray scanning equipment, offers a compact three-in-one checkweigher/serialization/temper-evidence module for pharmaceutical applications with a small footprint machine design.
The TQS-HC-A-TE Checkweigher offers precision weight monitoring (one of the company’s mainstays), plus traceability and anti-counterfeiting elements increasingly required on pharmaceutical packaging lines.
The unit is bookended by built-in quality control: its lead acronym, “TQS,” stands for “Traceable Quality System,” indicating the machine’s ability to perform serialization-centric duties including in-line printing of batch or unique product identifiers, print verification, and the ability to add extra sensory data to a product’s unique identifier.
“TE” indicates that the machine is equipped with tamper-evident labeling systems on both sides, allowing pharma manufacturers to seal the insertion flaps of folding boxes or even apply further anti-counterfeiting vignettes from above. Combined, the traceability and tamper-evidence elements provide compliance with all foreseeable worldwide serialization, including the U.S. Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) and the European Union’s Falsified Medicines Directive (EU FMD).
