Barcode or Barcode Reader is an optical machine-readable representation of data relating to
the object to which it is attached. Originally barcodes systematically represented data by varying
the widths and spacing of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or one-dimensional
(1D). Later they evolved into rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns in two
dimensions (2D). Although 2D systems use a variety of symbols, they are generally referred to
as barcodes as well. A barcode reader uses a photo sensor to convert the barcode into an
electrical signal as it moves across a barcode. Mechanism: The scanner then measures the
relative widths of the bars and spaces, translates the different patterns back into regular
characters, and sends them on to a computer or portable terminal. If we use barcodes, we get
online information without giving any data to the computer. If the manufacturing company
produces large quantity of products, then these barcodes are very useful.

Track and Trace Solution
The requirement to track a trace a product, and it’s related raw materials throughout the production process and supply chain is paramount with
the Life Sciences industry.
The core element of any track and trace system is the ability to automatically and correctly identify the product in question. The key method of
identification in the market to date is the use of a barcode.
What is a Barcode?
A Barcode is an encoded set of lines and spaces of different widths that can be scanned and interpreted into numbers to identify a product. There
are 2 types of barcodes Linear and 2 Dimensional:
Linear Barcode
A Linear Barcode, also known as a 1D Barcode, is a machine readable code consisting of a series of bars and
spaces printed in defined ratios. A Barcode symbology is essentially an alphabet in which different widths of bars
and spaces are combined to form characters and, ultimately, a message. Because there are many ways to arrange
these bars and spaces, numerous symbologies are possible.
3535261818 5 8
Data Matrix or 2D barcodes
A Data Matrix code, also known as a 2D Barcode or simply a 2D code, is a two-dimensional way of representing
information. It is similar to a linear barcode, but has more data representation capability, consisting of black and
white square modules arranged in either a square or rectangular pattern. The information to be encoded can be text
or raw data. The length of the encoded data depends on the symbol dimension used. Error correction codes are
added to increase symbol strength: even if they are partially damaged, they can still be read. A Data Matrix symbol
can store up to 2,335 alphanumeric characters.
Every Data Matrix is composed of at least two finder patterns or handles and two syncs. Handles are two perpendicular lines, coloured the same
way as 1 module, while syncs are like handles with the difference that they are made of alternating black and white modules. Handles achieve a
good alignment with the symbol, while syncs sample modules correctly. If the matrix dimension grows, more syncs and handles are added up to
8 both horizontally and vertically. Symbol sizes vary from 8 × 8 to 144 × 144
VisionID has aligned itself with the world’s leading suppliers of barcode scanner technology. We are pleased to present our portfolio of products that
are designed for use in every industry and for every application. Our general purpose scanners are rugged and durable and will withstand everyday
use. We have a range of rugged scanners for the tougher environments which are available in corded and cordless variations.
Producing a Barcode
The first step in a track and trace solution is the generation of a barcode. This is typically done using Barcode Label printing technology.
Barcode Label Printers
The main printer types revolve around the printing technology incorporating Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer.
Direct Thermal Printing Thermal Transfer Printing
Direct thermal printing is an old technology originally designed for low Thermal transfer printers use the same basic technology as direct
cost copiers and fax machines that utilise chemically coated paper. It thermal printers, but with the elimination of chemically-coated media
has since been transformed into a highly successful technology for bar material in favour of a non-sensitised face stock and a special linked
coding. The thermal print head is typically a long linear array of tiny ribbon. A durable, polyester ribbon film coated with a dry thermal

Labels
Labels come in many different formats and a multiple of options. Some of the key factors when choosing the correct label printer are:
ƒ Volume of labels required to print. ƒ Label Size, particularly the width. Most popular is 4 inch
ƒ Type of material that the label is composed of ƒ Environment it is used in
ƒ The graphics or text being printed
The simplest breakdown of label printer types, available across the manufacturers is:
Desktop Label Printers
Desktop Label Printers are ideal for small usage applications which
roughly require 500 2”x4” labels per day. Casings tend to be plastic
and therefore not ideal for the more industrial applications
Mobile Label Printers
Mobile Label Printers are more and more popular due to the flexibility
they can bring to applications. When configured with options such as
Bluetooth or wireless connectivity are prevalent in applications such as
Field Force Automation, Retail, Hospitality and Services. These printers
have the capability of using a varied choice of receipt and label media.
Mid – Range Label Printers
Mid – Range Label Printers are applicable to most industries as they
can handle larger volumes and also more rugged casings than the
desktop ranges. Depending on the printer you could comfortably handle
anywhere up to 5,000 labels per day.
High-End Label Printers
High-End Label Printers are generally used in mission critical or very high
volume printing most commonly found in production or warehousing
applications. Capable of operating 24 hours a day and with a multiple
of options to handle the most delicate of label formats.
Zebra Xi Range
High-End Label Printer
Zebra’s high-performance, built-to-last Xi series printers are
legendary for their rugged durability, consistently outstanding print
quality, fast print speed, long life, and unparalleled reliability in
demanding applications and harsh environments. These qualities
translate into low total cost of ownership –making them a smart
investment for organizations with high-volume, mission-critical
or specialty labeling applications.

Reading a Barcode
A barcode scanner is an electronic device for reading printed barcodes . Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor
translating optical impulses into electrical ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry analyzing the barcode’s image
data provided by the sensor and sending the barcode’s content to the scanner’s output port, typically USB, RS232 or PS2.
Types of Barcode Scanners:
Handheld Barcode Scanners
Handheld Barcode Scanners are best used in applications where the user is required to scan items of varying shapes or sizes, or may be at a
distance from the operator, such as pallet stored on the top of a warehouse rack. Primary Barcode Scanner Types:
Corded Barcode Scanners
This type of scanner is connected directly to a defined workstation, using different cable combinations. USB is now the most popular, but other
options are available such as PS/2, AT/XT, RS232 etc.
Cordless Barcode Scanners
Cordless scanners allow the user to roam up to a 50 feet radius, by transmitting the scanned information to its cradle, via Bluetooth or Wireless,
which is in turn connected directly to the defined workstation.

Fixed Position Barcode Scanners
Fixed Position scanners are typically used in applications where accurate, unattended automated data entry is required, such as tracking items
throughout a manufacturing line, or machine-sortation of packages along a conveyor belt. Fixed Position scanners are available in short or long
working distances for greater flexibility. Typically, omni-directional or rastering style scanners are used, enabling items to pass and to be read
without precise positioning of the barcodes, resulting in accurate first-pass scans
Direct Part Marking
In many situations a standard printed barcode label will not withstand the rigours of the product environment. In these situations using a Direct
Part Mark is the optimum solution. VisionID possesses a particular expertise within this field.
Tracking individual components can be a costly proposition when standard product labeling techniques fail to measure up over time. Direct Part
Marking (DPM) provides a permanent marking solution that ensures readability throughout the life of your products, even when subjected to harsh
environments during the manufacturing process.
This method of identification is becoming very popular in the Life Sciences sector, because of the durability and longevity of the mark, be it barcode,
both linear and 2D Data Matrix or pure text.
There are many business benefits to the implementation of Direct Part Marking:
ƒ True “Cradle to Grave” traceability of product
ƒ Improvement of Manufacturing Processes
ƒ Identification of quality defects throughout the Manufacturing Process
ƒ Eliminates Manual Data Entry and therefore Human Error
ƒ Supports Data Logging and Automatic Data Collection
ƒ Consequently reducing the overall cost of manufacturing
Types of Direct Part Marking
Initially, the code has to be marked in some way and the method is dependent on the material to be marked, the required lifespan of the mark,
the accessibility of the area to be marked, production speed / volume etc. The most common methods of marking are Laser-etching, Dot peening,
Ink-jetting and Chemical-etching.
Dot Peening
Dot Peening is achieved by pneumatically or electromechanically striking a carbide- or diamond tipped stylus
against the material being marked.
Advantages: Low initial cost, permanent mark
Disadvantages: Slow, Contact / Impact marking
Laser Etching
Laser Etching applies heat to the surface of the material that causes the surface of the part to melt, vaporise or
change in some way to produce a mark.
Advantages: High quality mark, non-contact, permanent mark
Disadvantages: High initial cost
Ink Jet Printers
Ink Jet Printers precisely propel ink drops to the part surface, after which the fluid evaporates and leaves a coloured
die that creates the pattern of modules that make up the mark.
Advantages: High speed, low initial cost, non-contact
Disadvantages: Consumable costs, less permanent
Electro-Chemical Etching
Electro-Chemical Etching is a process whereby the mark is produced by oxidizing metal from the surface being
marked through a stencil impression.
Advantages: Low initial cost, not surface-changing
Disadvantages: Slow, consumable costs

IDMax® technology and two powerful algorithms, 1DMax™ and 2DMax™, to
decode virtually every type of code, every time, with unsurpassed read rates.
1DMax Technology
For 1D barcodes, the 1DMax algorithm is our best-in-class reading tool
optimised for omnidirectional barcode reading that can handle extreme
variations.
2DMax Technology
For 2D codes, 2DMax technology pioneered the adoption of 2D Data Matrix
coding in many industries for direct part marking (DPM) and high speed
printed applications.
Liquid Lens Technology = Automatic Variable Focus for all Applications
The new DataMan 8000 Series is the first to offer integrated liquid lens
technology in an industrial handheld ID reader. The adjustable focus of the
liquid lens gives maximum depth of field flexibility enabling you to use the
system close up for very small 2D direct part marks as well as at a greater
distance to read longer 1D barcodes, with extremely fast response times.
Industrial Ethernet and Modular Communications
for Maximum Flexibility
The DataMan 8000 Series of ID readers is also the first
handheld reader to offer Ethernet communication capability
for easy integration into your factory network for real-time
product and part traceability.
Another first for the DataMan 8000 Series is the modularity of
the communication. Customers can install their readers with
the RS-232/USB communication module for their needs today
and then simply purchase the Ethernet module at a later date
if their communications needs change. The DataMan 8000
Series interchangeable communication modules enable the
additional benefit of standardisation on one reader platform.

DPM Verification
Verification is required in many instances to check the quality
of code, particularly at time of marking.
This can provide immediate feedback as to any changes to
the marking process. For example, the Verifier can monitor tip
wear on a dot peen machine by monitoring dot size, and flag
the operator.
At the marking stage, during the manufacturing process and
throughout the products lifecycle, the mark will be required to
be read. Depending on the situation and the environment, this
could be with a handheld reader tethered to a host computer
or with a remote Bluetooth connection. The information could
be gathered with a Mobile Computer with inbuilt reader and
wirelessly transmitted back to the host. Fixed Position readers
are used for automatically collecting the data on some form of
automated transfer or a presentation type reader used in an
application where the user needs to be “hands-free”
Dataman 100V

Serialisation & ePedigree
One of the primary drivers for the proliferation of 2D barcode usage within the Life Sciences sector is the emergence of counterfeit drugs and medical
devices. In order to combat this the industry is adopting a move to full supply chain visibility via item level serialization and ePedigree. Compliance
with new regulations such as those listed below guards against counterfeiting unauthorized diversion of product.
ƒ CIP13 for the French Market
ƒ Brazilian UIM mandate
ƒ Turkish Ministry of Health’s (MOH) serialisation requirements
ƒ Californian E-Pedigree Mandate
Serialisation
Serialisation mandates in Europe and elsewhere have driven the imperative for companies to examine their packaging information requirements.
Due to progressive global regulatory expectations manufacturers need to promptly employ serialisation solutions to ensure compliance
Current and pending regulatory requirements necessitate that manufacturers deploy track and trace, authentication and e-pedigree: an electronic
record specifying the product’s chain of custody, which is more efficient and accurate than paper records.
Serialising products at the item level enables the above processes, allowing manufacturers to address global regulations as well as patient safety
and anti-diversion initiatives.
Momentum for serialisation waned after California’s Board of Pharmacy put back the implementation deadline for ePedigree from 2011 to 2015, but
with the new deadline on the horizon, coupled with the potential for an earlier pronouncement from the Food and Drug Administration, companies
are moving ahead with due-diligence programmes. In the interim of course, initiatives from governments in countries such as Brazil, China and
Turkey, as well as the prospect of federal guidance on pedigree and Europe’s deliberations surrounding the proposed directive on falsified medicines,
have put serialisation firmly back on the agenda for many companies.

ePedigree
An ePedigree is simply an electronic document which satisfies a pedigree
requirement. The primary purpose of an ePedigree is to protect consumers
from contaminated medicine or counterfeit drugs.
On January 5, 2007 EPCglobal ratified the Pedigree Standard as an international
standard that specifies an XML description of the life history of a product across
a complex supply chain.
The basic data elements of an original ePedigree are:
ƒ Lot
ƒ Potency
ƒ Expiration
ƒ National Drug Code and Electronic Product Code
ƒ Manufacturer
ƒ Distributor, Wholesaler or Pharmacy
ƒ Unique identifier of the salable unit
As of 2008, most states have enacted some degree of pedigree requirement and many have also mandated ePedigree. However, the existing
ePedigree requirements amount to little more than requiring that pharmaceutical supply chain companies be able to provide reports in formats
such as pdf, text files or spreadsheets.
As the product moves down the supply chain, each company is required to carry forward all previous ePedigree information. In this way, the final
point of sale has the complete record of every unit thus ensuring the security of the supply chain. There are a number of ways to track and trace
individual units including OCR fonts, 1D and 2D barcoding and RFID tags. VisionID has many years experience in track and trace solutions and has
brought this experience to bear assisting clients with serialisation projects.

Machine Vision Solutions from VisionID
What is Machine Vision?
Machine vision is the technology to replace or complement manual inspections and measurements with digital cameras and image processing. The
technology is used in a variety of different industries to automate the production, increase production speed and yield, and to improve product quality.
Machine vision in operation can be described by a four-step flow:
Imaging Processing and analysis Communication Action
Analyzeƒtheƒimageƒtoƒ Sendƒtheƒresultƒtoƒtheƒsystemƒ Takeƒactionƒdependingƒonƒ
Takeƒanƒimage
obtainƒaƒresult inƒcontrolƒofƒtheƒprocess theƒvisionƒsystem’sƒresult
Application Types
Machine vision applications can be divided into four types from a technical point of view:
Locate
In locating applications, the purpose of the vision system is to find the object
and report its position and orientation. In robot bin picking applications
the camera finds a reference coordinate on the object, for example center
of gravity or a corner, and then sends the information to a robot which
picks up the object.
Measure
In measurement applications the purpose of the vision system is to measure
physical dimensions of the object. Examples of physical dimensions are
distance, diameter, curvature, area, height, and volume. In the example to
the left, a camera measures multiple diameters of cogs.
Inspect
In inspection applications the purpose of the vision system is to validate
certain features, for example presence or absence of a correct label on
a bottle, screws in an assembly, chocolates in a box, or defects. In the
example to the left, a camera inspects brake pads for defects.
Identify
In an identification application the vision system reads various codes and
alphanumeric characters (text and numbers). In the example to the left, a
camera reads the best before date on a bottle. Examples of codes that can
be read simultaneously he same package are barcodes and matrix codes.

Manufacturing Execution Systems
- ERP Integrated Solutions
On a day to day basis VisionID is integrating various enabling technology solutions with MES & ERP systems within the Life Sciences sector.
MES is an acronym that stands for Manufacturing Execution Systems. It refers to addendum software that fills a specific need. For example, one
MES System creates a production plan from all work orders based on due dates, routing times and work center constraints. These systems are
independent of ERP Systems and hence the reference to addendum software.
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are information technology systems that manage production in factories. The scope of such systems
is somewhat imprecise, but typically includes:
ƒ Presentation of schedules (often derived from ERP or Advanced Planning & Scheduling systems) to workcentres
ƒ Collection of production information (time, quantity, quality,...)
ƒ Analysis of production information (e.g. “How many units of this product did this workcentre produce last month?”)
ƒ Control of planned and unplanned maintenance (although the planning of this is often relegated to other, special-purpose, systems)
ƒ Quality control
ƒ Shipping / dispatch
ƒ Product labelling
ƒ Product traceability (particularly important in safety-critical applications, e.g. pharmaceuticals)
In general, ERP systems tend to include applications that handle financials, order processing, inventory, distribution, customer relationships, etc.
There is a wide variety of offerings among the vendors; some, for example, include native asset management and supply chain applications, while
others enable you to connect / use third-party products.
The ‘strong suit’ of most ERP systems is the integration, from a financial perspective, everything going on within an enterprise. The avowed objective
/ focus is on helping you see / manage / account for the cost of everything going into preparation / delivery / service / sale of ‘products’.
If your business is involved in discrete manufacturing of a product, such as cars or radios or computers that roll off an assembly line - driven either
by orders or forecasted demand or such - there are a lot of ERP systems that can handle your needs.
Where it gets tricky, for example, is when you are producing something like food products or drugs...in batches, according to formulas, etc. Not all
ERP vendors have applications that can manage this kind of ‘manufacturing’ flow. Here is where specialized products, like MES, come into play. If
you want to operate a multi-facility Life Sciences business...you will need something more than an ERP system .
Prevalent examples include Werum’s Pas X, Camstar & Lighthouse

RFID in Life Sciences
What is RFID?
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that uses communication via electromagnetic waves to exchange
data between a terminal and an electronic tag attached to an object, for the purpose of identification and tracking. Some tags
can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.
An RFID system may consist of several components: tags, tag readers, edge servers, middleware, and application software.
The purpose of an RFID system is to enable data to be transmitted by a mobile device, called a tag, which is read by an RFID reader and processed
according to the needs of a particular application. The data transmitted by the tag may provide identification or location information, or specifics
about the product tagged, such as price, colour, date of purchase, etc. The use of RFID in tracking and access applications first appeared during
the 1980s. RFID quickly gained attention because of its ability to track moving objects. As the technology is refined, more pervasive and possibly
invasive uses for RFID tags are in the works.
In a typical RFID system, individual objects are equipped with a small, inexpensive tag. The tag contains a transponder with a digital memory chip
that is given a unique electronic product code. The interrogator, an antenna packaged with a transceiver and decoder, emits a signal activating the
RFID tag so it can read and write data to it. When an RFID tag passes through the electromagnetic zone, it detects the reader’s activation signal. The
reader decodes the data encoded in the tag’s integrated circuit (silicon chip) and the data is passed to the host computer. The application software
on the host processes the data, often employing Physical Markup Language (PML).
Take the example of books in a library. Security gates can detect whether or not a book has been properly checked out of the library. When users
return items, the security bit is re-set and the item record in the integrated library system is automatically updated. In some RFID solutions a return
receipt can be generated. At this point, materials can be roughly sorted into bins by the return equipment. Inventory wands provide a finer detail of
sorting. This tool can be used to put books into shelf-ready order.
FX7400
Fixed RFID Reader
Compact business-class fixed RFID reader
The Motorola FX7400 RFID reader sets a new standard in design for indoor customer-facing and carpeted environments, packing best-in-class
RFID features into a small and attractive form factor that is less than half the size of a typical fixed industrial RFID reader.
The low profile combines with an impressive array of integrated features and functionality to enable highly cost-effective RFID solutions for business-
class applications such as item-level inventory management, IT asset management and more.
Many unique features make this standards-based device easy to deploy and manage:
ƒ Plenum rating, which allows for deployment flexibility in air tight spaces, such as
mounting above a drop ceiling
ƒ Power over Ethernet (PoE), which eliminates the need for an electrical outlet and
power supply
ƒ Auto-discovery to automatically detect devices once they are plugged into the network
ƒ ShowCase II, a new tool which enables remote configuration and management to
ensure that your readers are up, running and ready for operation.
The FX7400 offers a comprehensive set of APIs in .NET and C, and support for leading
business systems including Microsoft BizTalk and IBM WebSphere Sensor Events (WSS) 6.2.

Legislative serialisation options include the use of 2D Data Matrix or RFID technology. In
contrast to an easily duplicated bar code, UHF RFID offers the manufacturer the option
of a permanently locked, factory commissioned unique serial number (referred to as
the UTID) embedded
within the electronic RFID silicon chip. The unique UTID signature, in addition to an
optionally locked drug identification serial number, assigned by the manufacturer,
provides the consumer with yet an additional level of authenticity
RFID in Life Science Applications
As drug manufacturers record the UTID and assign their unique product identifiers,
shipment contents are aggregated and ePedigrees are used to record pertinent information,
such as:
ƒ Product Information
ƒ Item Information
ƒ Transaction Information
ƒ Trading Partner Information
ƒ Signatures & Certifications
ƒ Additionally, an Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) is electronically forwarded to the
next recipient, in advance of the product receipt.
ƒ Serialized product is verified against the ASN, and the Pedigree certifies authenticity.
ƒ Without line-of-site restrictions, UHF RFID facilitates the confirmation process by
enabling a quick scan of the individually tagged items without opening the case.
By utilising this technology companies can prevent counterfeit products entering the
supply chain.
