What is a CMO in the pharma sector?

A Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) is a service provider that handles packaging and printing processes on behalf of pharmaceutical manufacturers, such as printing folding cartons with serialized DataMatrix codes for a national verification system. This allows large pharmaceutical companies to outsource parts of their packaging operations to specialized printing companies, which use UCS to guarantee code uniqueness.

How does UCS ensure no serial number is printed twice?

UCS maintains a central, audit-proof pool of every code that has already been issued and printed. Before each print job, the system automatically checks against this pool and only delivers fresh, unused codes to the press. Every serial number across machines and plants is therefore guaranteed to remain unique.

What does the Last Workstep Monitor do?

The Last Workstep Monitor compares the units actually produced at the end of the line with the UCS job report in real time. If the quantity or codes do not match 1:1, e.g. after a machine stop, the system flags the affected packs so they can be safely removed before shipment.

Which international regulations does UCS support?

UCS supports all statutory serialization regulations worldwide, including FMD, DSCSA and further country-specific requirements.

Can UCS be integrated into existing print lines?

Yes. UCS comes with open interfaces that can be adapted to the standard protocols of your printers and inspection systems, from label printers and inkjet units to folding-carton lines. The integration is delivered as a project together with your engineering and IT team and typically goes live within a few weeks.
