Why is serialisation important in the pharmaceutical industry?

Counterfeit products, which are continuously appearing on the market and usually imitate the appearance of genuine brands but fall far short of industry quality standards, are a serious risk to the pharmaceutical industry worldwide. If they contain any active substances at all, they do not contain the required amount, which in some cases can make them life-threatening for their end users.

How medicines are identified varies from country to country, but actually the same information should always be included: a unique serial number, identification code, batch number and expiry date. 

Serialisation in the pharmaceutical industry is also important for manufacturers, as it allows them to prove the authenticity of their products without fear of regulatory penalties for counterfeits. However, it is also important that serialisation does not reduce the efficiency of production processes. Automated serialisation stations not only increase productivity, but also minimise the possibility of errors because they require fewer human resources.
