Track and Trace System: Real-Time Authentication & Blockchain Security

A track and trace system for pharma packaging from OPOC Solution focuses specifically on the packaging line – from cartoning to case packing. The system includes high‑speed cameras (up to 1,000 frames per second) that verify 2D codes, optical character recognition (OCR) for expiry dates, and a reject mechanism for failed units. In a deployment for a French contract packaging organization, OPOC’s system was installed on three blister lines and two bottle lines. The system achieved a 99.95% verification accuracy, reducing false rejects from 2.3% to 0.2%. The packaging line system also supports “serialization on‑the‑fly” for irregularly shaped items, such as tubes or ampoules. A Greek manufacturer of topical creams used OPOC’s rotating camera array to read codes on cylindrical tubes, achieving a 98.9% first‑pass read rate. Another advanced feature is “aggregation at the packer” – the system builds parent‑child relationships as cases are formed, storing the hierarchy in a local buffer. During a power outage, the buffer retained all data for 72 hours, preventing re‑work of 150,000 units. For multi‑language packaging, OPOC’s system automatically selects the appropriate human‑readable interpretation based on the destination country’s regulatory requirements. A case study from a Polish packager showed that OPOC’s system reduced packaging line validation time by 55% because all serialization settings are stored in recipe templates.
