Printronix’s T8000 barcode printer does it all. Their online data validation (ODV) eliminates compliance fees with automatic barcode validation. It is available on the T8000 and T6000 thermal printers. It ensures that all barcodes meets scanning standards and reduce unnecessary compliance cost.

With their ODV technology, you can:

• Deliver 100% scannable barcodes to your production area
• Eliminate unscannable barcodes from entering into your supply chain
• Reduce labor and costs and downtime
• Eliminate charge backs due to refused or delayed shipments
• Capture and display the raw data within each barcode, to provide further assurance that critical data is printed correctly

Additionally, coming soon built on the robust T8000 printer platform, the ODV-2D barcode printer. Printronix will have a new printer that is set to release in early 2018 which includes a built in data validator that grades both 1D and 2D barcodes to ISO standards and stores a detailed report of each transaction. The new technology will be able to read each barcode, overstrikes the label of a rejected barcode, and reprint a new label.

Sooner rather than later carrying cash around with you is going to be a way of the past. According to Mark Bolsom a business development director at Moneymailme “Consumers want to pay in the most convenient way for them, so with debit and credit cards so easy to carry around, and with the growing popularity of e-wallets, holding cash is simply not at the forefront of consumers’ minds any longer.”

Canada came in at the top of the list of the top cashless countries as the average Canadian carries two credit cards each, instead of having high levels of contactless cards. In Second came Sweden “Sweden is proof that a move to a cashless economy is not just a concept but very nearly reality. With electronic payments making up 95 percent of all retail transactions, it’s clear that in no time at all Sweden will have phased out cash altogether.” Bolsom Said.

Built to survive in the world of mobility demands, Honeywell’s PB series, rugged mobile printers will help your organization improve mobile productivity and efficiency. It’s just what you need for demanding applications in distribution, warehouse, in-store retail, and enterprise asset management.

The PB series is available in three different sizes capable of printing labels from 2-4 inches and with an adjustable media holder, the PB series can print receipts too. With its highly adaptable design, workers can easily change tasks without changing equipment. The rugged design of the PB22, PB32, and PB50 mobile printer means dependable performance- day after day.

Features and Benefits:

Flexible Media Options (2-4 inches print width)

• Fast 4 ips (101.6 mm/sec) print speed and time-to-first-label drive worker productivity and accuracy.
• 5ft (1.5m) drop spec and IP54 seal rating
• Sophisticated sensors and intuitive LCD display minimize wasted time troubleshooting
• Secure wire and wireless communication options (Bluetooth, WLAN, USB, and serial)
• Unique design elements such as label gap and label take sensors help maintain productivity while reducing waste.

With its solid construction, the CL4NX industrial printer makes label printing easy in the most demanding printing applications. Printer setups, operation and maintenance are supremely easy and intuitive. All models features a large 3.5” full color LCD, LED indicator, and universal icons making it clear to any operator the printer’s status and when attention is needed.

Its durable design makes it suited for applications used in compliance labeling, shipping/ receiving, asset management, WMS, logistic tracking, and retail labeling and tracking. It has print solution ranging from 203, 305, or 609 dpi and print speed up to 10 ips (inches per seconds).

Honeywell’s Voyager 1202g-bf and Xenon 1902g-bf both incorporate the latest in battery-free technology, all while offering the freedom of Bluetooth wireless technology and without the long recharge time associated with traditional batteries. Both Scanners deliver aggressive barcode scanning performance even on poor quality or damaged barcodes.

The Voyager 1202g-bf Bluetooth technology allows the user the freedom to move around up to 33 feet away from the base in the right environment. It’s an ideal scanner for applications where occasional wireless scanning is a need. Voyager is a plug-and-play scanner that features a multi-interface design with automatic interface detection.

The Xenon 1902g-bf offers fast and accurate scanning from up to 33 feet away from the base without the recharge time, expense, and environmental impact of a battery. An ideal scanner for applications centered around POS, workstations, and counters.

What you need to know?

On November 27, 2013, Congress enacted the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA), which includes the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). The DSCSA outlines steps to build an electronic system to identify, track and trace certain prescription drugs as they are distributed in the United States. This legislation was enacted in order to transform the pharmaceutical supply chain through serialization and improve patient safety.

Manufacturers, wholesalers, re-packagers and pharmacies have been required to implement lot-level management since 2015. Starting in November 2017, phase II of the DSCSA implementation requires manufacturers and re-packagers to serialize packages of drug products using a GS1 product identifier (either GTIN or NDC), serial number, lot number and expiration date, and embed this information into a 2D Datamatrix barcode. In November 2019, wholesalers must accept only serialized products and must verify unique product identifiers. By November 2020, pharmacists must meet the same requirements. Lastly, by November 2023, all information will be required to be made available that would allow supply chain partners to trace the ownership back to the initial manufacturer or re-packager.

What does a DSCSA solution do?

Our DSCSA hardware and software solution is focused on developing a traceability solution that incorporates transaction management, repository of historical snapshots of data for retrieval, and detects exceptions and provides easy to use visibility to traceability data in a matter of seconds.

What are the benefits of DSCSA?

Besides being in compliance, patients and supply chain companies are able to take advantage of the benefits of DSCSA, such as:

• Improved patient safety and care
• Compliance with serialization requirements helps move the industry ahead with better traceability and accountability for the origin, chain of custody, delivery, and availability of authentic, original prescription drugs
• Improved accessibility to patients for the drugs they need and assurance that they are exactly the drugs prescribed by their physicians
• Reduction of counterfeit drugs by having serialized identifiers
• Maintaining profits for the industry providers against counterfeit products
• Enables quick and accurate recalls of drugs, if needed
• Increased efficiency throughout the supply chain by optimizing inventory tracking through serialization

What do I need to be in compliance?

Converting manufacturing lines from lot-based to unit-based serialization represents an investment in software and hardware. Barcode scanners and barcode label printers are a necessity to print and scan a GS1 2D Datamatrix barcode label. Wireless networking is an option for manufacturers looking to future-proof their operations. While all facilities present different challenges, service providers like Barcodes, Inc. can provide a consultation to ensure all the technology is identified and implemented in accordance to compliance regulations.

While the deadline remains the same, the FDA has issued a one year reprieve, meaning that the agency will not take action against manufacturers who do not affix or imprint the product identifier to their packages until after November 26, 2018.
